Mock Exam Meltdown: A Survival Story — 5th Year School Play Annual Performance Licence

A structured, lightly comic ensemble play written for 5th Year Post-Primary students, exploring pressure, planning, and balance during the mock exam period. As stress, timetables, motivation, and procrastination take on exaggerated forms, students learn to work together to regain control and approach exams calmly and realistically.

The play prioritises shared participation, calm humour, and collective problem-solving, avoiding distress, heightened drama, or individual spotlighting. Roles are flexible and expandable, allowing pupils to participate through group dialogue, movement-based roles, planning sequences, or observation within a predictable, teacher-led structure.
