I'm comparing the work; "Teechers" by John Godber, for the play I recently took part in and helped write; "The victim". The plot of our "The Victim" and "Teachers" I am comparing the comedy; "Teechers" by John Godber, for the play I recently took part in and helped write; "The victim". The plot of our comedy "The Victim" is based on bullying and domestic violence. The main plot is about a young student called Jess who moves to a new area and a new school.
