This adaptation had its first professional performance at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith in September 2019. This extract is taken from Act 2, Scene 2. Dr Rank I am not ashamed at all for what I’ve said. But, perhaps I should leave – and never come back? Niru Not at all. You must visit as always. Tom would miss you terribly. Dr Rank What about you? Niru I am always happy to see you. Dr Rank You confuse me. I have often felt that you prefer my company to Tom’s. You misled me. Niru I think there are those people that you love and others that you would almost rather be with. Dr Rank I suppose there’s a truth in that. Niru As a young girl, I loved my father the best, of course. But any chance I got, I would slip into the maids’ quarters. I loved their company best because they never lectured me, and they always talked about such interesting and exciting things. Dr Rank So, I’m like your maids? Charming! Niru Oh, my dear, kind Dr Rank, I didn’t mean that. But you can see that being with Tom is a little like being with my father. Uma enters in a hurry. Uma Memsahib . . . Niru Uma-di? Uma May I have a word? Niru Of course. Uma (whispers) There’s visitor for you – he left his card. Uma hands over a card. Niru Oh! Dr Rank Anything wrong? Niru No . . . no . . . it’s a surprise for Tom. Dr Rank Was that your big secret that you needed my advice on? Niru Yes, that was it. Just go in and see him, Doctor, will you? Keep him away for a bit. Please? 5 10 15 20 25 30  6 P66350A Dr Rank As you please. Dr Rank exits reluctantly. Niru (urgent) Where is he? Uma I told him you were busy, but he insisted. Said he wouldn’t go until he’d seen you. Niru Uma-di. Don’t tell anyone he’s here. Please. Uma Yes, Niru. Are you alright? You look . . . frightened. Niru Don’t tell anyone but send him in. Uma exits. The light fades a little as the sun sets. Niru paces anxiously. Das enters. Niru Mr Das. Why are you here? Das You know I’ve been sacked? Niru I tried my best. I pleaded your case but . . . Das Doesn’t you husband care about you? He knows what I can do to you and yet he still . . . Niru He doesn’t know anything. Das Didn’t think he did. Most uncharacteristic of my old friend Mr Tom Helmer to show such courage. Niru Please try and show my husband some respect. Das Like he’s shown me respect? Given your urge for secrecy, I take it you’re a little bit clearer about how much trouble you’re in? Niru Very clear. What do you want of me now? Das Just wanted to see how you were. I’ve been thinking about you. Even a despicable money lender like me has some empathy. Niru Show your empathy then. Have pity on my young children. Das Just as you and your husband have shown me and my children mercy. I won’t start proceedings yet. Nobody needs to know. We can settle it between the three of us. Niru I don’t want my husband to know. Das Can you make good the debt? Niru Not immediately. Das Maybe you could get hold of some of the money in the next few days. Niru I can’t. Das Ha! To be honest, it wouldn’t be much help if you did. Even if you were standing there with the money in your hands and more to spare, you still wouldn’t get back your IOU from me now. Niru What are you going to do with it? 35 40 45 50 55 60  7 Turn over P66350A Das Keep it. I hope you’re not thinking about any desperate behaviour. Like running away. Or anything worse. Niru How did you guess? Das Most of us think of that to begin with. I did too but I was too cowardly to see it through. Niru I am too. Das It would be a stupid thing to do. I have a letter in my pocket here to Mr Helmer. Niru And you’ve told him everything? Das Everything, in as diplomatic a way as possible. Niru Tear it up. Please, don’t give him the letter. I’ll find the money somehow. Das I’ve told you . . . Niru I’m not talking about the debt, I’m asking you about how much money you’re asking from my husband. Das I don’t want his money. Niru What is it you want – then? Das I want a way out of my degraded life – to be respected. For the last eighteen months I haven’t turned my hand to anything dishonest. It’s been a long hard road and I was getting somewhere. I was a good clerk in the Tax Office, my work was praised. I was climbing that ladder step by step. This is what they do to us, Mrs Helmer. Niru They? Das The English. Oh they’re very nice to us when they need our help. When they want us to do things for them. But the minute we ask for what is due to us – they invent some scandal, or say that we are not worthy, not clever enough, sub-intelligent because of our race. Niru You’re blaming everyone except for yourself. Das Sometimes, my children don’t eat at night. And I lay the blame entirely at their feet. The English! They are demons. I want to get back in the office again in a higher position and your husband will create a new post for me. Niru He won’t do that. Das I think he will. I know his sort. He’ll do anything to keep his name, to stay up there on his high horse, looking down at all us dirty heathens. Within a year, I’ll rise through the ranks, be his right-hand man and then it’ll be me, an Indian, calling the shots. He’ll do whatever I tell him to do. You’ll see. 65 70 75 80 85 90 95  8 P66350A SECTION A: BRINGING TEXTS TO LIFE An Inspector Calls, J B Priestley Answer ALL questions. You are involved in staging a production of this play.

The first performance in Britain was at the New Theatre, London in October 1946. This extract is taken from Act Two. BIRLING Is there any reason why my wife should answer questions from you, Inspector? INSPECTOR Yes, a very good reason. You’ll remember that Mr Croft told us – quite truthfully, I believe – that he hadn’t spoken to or seen Eva Smith since last September. But Mrs Birling spoke to and saw her only two weeks ago. SHEILA (astonished) Mother! BIRLING Is this true? MRS B. (after a pause) Yes, quite true. INSPECTOR She appealed to your organization for help? MRS B. Yes. INSPECTOR Not as Eva Smith? MRS B. No. Nor as Daisy Renton. INSPECTOR As what then? MRS B. First, she called herself Mrs Birling— BIRLING (astounded) Mrs Birling! MRS B. Yes, I think it was simply a piece of gross impertinence — quite deliberate — and naturally that was one of the things that prejudiced me against her case. BIRLING And I should think so! Damned impudence! INSPECTOR You admit being prejudiced against her case? MRS B. Yes. SHEILA Mother, she’s just died a horrible death — don’t forget. MRS B. I’m very sorry. But I think she had only herself to blame. INSPECTOR Was it owing to your influence, as the most prominent member of the committee, that help was refused the girl? MRS B. Possibly. INSPECTOR Was it or was it not your influence? 5 10 15 20 25 30  11 Turn over P66350A MRS B. (stung) Yes, it was. I didn’t like her manner. She’d impertinently made use of our name, though she pretended afterwards it just happened to be the first she thought of. She had to admit, after I began questioning her, that she had no claim to the name, that she wasn’t married, and that the story she told at first — about a husband who’d deserted her — was quite false. It didn’t take me long to get the truth — or some of the truth — out of her. INSPECTOR Why did she want help? MRS B. You know very well why she wanted help. INSPECTOR No, I don’t. I know why she needed help. But as I wasn’t there, I don’t know what she asked from your committee. MRS B. I don’t think we need discuss it. INSPECTOR You have no hope of not discussing it, Mrs Birling. MRS B. If you think you can bring any pressure to bear upon me, Inspector, you’re quite mistaken. Unlike the other three, I did nothing I’m ashamed of or that won’t bear investigation. The girl asked for assistance. We were asked to look carefully into the claims made upon us. I wasn’t satisfied with the girl’s claim — she seemed to me to be not a good case — and so I used my influence to have it refused. And in spite of what’s happened to the girl since, I consider I did my duty. So if I prefer not to discuss it any further, you have no power to make me change my mind. INSPECTOR Yes I have. MRS B. No you haven’t. Simply because I’ve done nothing wrong — and you know it. INSPECTOR (very deliberately) I think you did something terribly wrong — and that you’re going to spend the rest of your life regretting it. I wish you’d been with me tonight in the Infirmary. You’d have seen— SHEILA (bursting in) No, no, please! Not that again. I’ve imagined it enough already. INSPECTOR (very deliberately) Then the next time you imagine it, just remember that this girl was going to have a child. SHEILA (horrified) No! Oh — horrible — horrible! How could she have wanted to kill herself? 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70  12 P66350A INSPECTOR Because she’d been turned out and turned down too many times. This was the end. SHEILA Mother, you must have known. INSPECTOR It was because she was going to have a child that she went for assistance to your mother’s committee. BIRLING Look here, this wasn’t Gerald Croft— INSPECTOR (cutting in, sharply) No, no. Nothing to do with him. SHEILA Thank goodness for that! Though I don’t know why I should care now. INSPECTOR (to MRS BIRLING) And you’ve nothing further to tell me, eh? MRS B. I’ll tell you what I told her. Go and look for the father of the child. It’s his responsibility. 75 80 85  13 Turn over P66350A SECTION A: BRINGING TEXTS TO LIFE Antigone, Sophocles (adapted by Roy Williams) Answer ALL questions.

This adaptation had its first professional performance at the Derby Theatre in September 2014. This extract is taken from scene nine. Tig You’re jokers and a half, Did you know that? You nuttin but bastards, the lot of yer, sick idle bastards! Are you having fun? Having a good time at the way we are carrying on? Who’s displeasing you the most right now, Creo or me? Or do you not even care? You can’t, you can’t care. You would have done something by now, not just me, but everyone, you can see what’s going on, how people are living. You don’t care, so why should I business about you? Cos I don’t. I didn’t do it in your name, let’s make that clear. I am of my own mind, I did it for me, not because you would let me go otherwise, you’d make Creo see, before it’s too late, then you would let me go, let me get on with my life, you would! You would. Wouldn’t you? Waiting? Why? Why me, why do I have to die as well? My mum and dad weren’t enough for you, so you took my brothers, was that supposed to be funny, rub my nose in it? So what am I, for good measure? Probably just as well cos if Creo let me go, I would have gone after you lot as well, believe me, I would gone to town on you, tell everyone how it is, our beloved gods! Who’s up next in the firing line, Esme? She’s not as weak as you think. She’ll fight you. Dead me, and I promise you she will fight. Them people, they are tougher than you think. The
