Beyond the Edge is described as ‘an optimistic school drama about climate change’. It follows the events after a bridge collapse on a road in rural Devon during a geography field trip. The play focuses on two teachers; the prickly Mr Mungo and the fiery Miss Fiel and their charges. The students are feisty Dulcie who is continually pursued by the over-confident Jag, Jimmy who is troubled by a recent bereavement, and Myra who feels lost without the information she needs about her birth family.
The play begins as the characters are stranded with limited supplies and no phone reception. The teachers set about reassuring the students that help is on the way.
