ABOUT THE PLAY:

                               Brother in the Land is a 1984 post-apocalyptic novel by Robert E. "Bob" Swindells. It follows the adventures of a teenage boy who fights for survival in Britain after a nuclear war has devastated the country. This play is based on the novel Brother in the Land by Robert 

Swindells.

NOVEL SUMMARY:

                                 Mrs Troy and Marry Lodge are discussing about the condition of the country. Then they discussed about Kershaw's farm and the war. Mrs Troy didn’t like shopping herself. Danny and Ben come fighting over a broken game boy. Richard Lodge doesn’t give Mrs Troy the big water bottles that tells us SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST has started. Everyone goes to school.

Mr. Rhodes (the PE teacher) is giving a presentation on how to survive if the bombing ACTUALLY happens and the seminar is called "Protect and Survive".In the school break the students are still making fun of the assembly and normal life is going on. The Students are not taking the nuclear bomb seriously as they have never experienced it before. They’re acting as if the nuclear bomb has blown. Sophie invites Danny to a sleep-over and others want to come too.

(Before the scene starts) Danny had been staying in school that day in detention. He had been the last to leave school (as he had been delayed). On his way home, it starts raining heavily so he takes refuge (protection) in a small shelter (place where you can take refuge during the bomb attack) near Kershaw’s Farm. Then the nuclear bombs fall. He is very scared and sleeps (due to fatigue). When he wakes up he sees the glow of the warning sirens and alarms on the hill. He sleeps again and after waking he suspects that he has radiation sickness.

Danny finds the town in ruins, and learns that his family's shop has collapsed, killing his mother. His brother Ben and their father have survived, as they were in the cellar, which is used as a stockroom. With so much food in their stockroom, the Lodges have plenty to live on, but as the weeks pass, other people begin fighting over food. Shortly after the war, Danny meets a girl named Kim.

The local Commissioner issues an order that the injured and infirm are to be taken out of the tomb and placed at the roadside so they can be taken to hospital: this turns out to be front for his plan to kill off those who will be a burden. After a while, the Commissioner implements a system of food and fuel rationing. Mr. Lodge refuses to allow his stock to be used for this purpose.

The injured, elderly, and people who have been emotionally traumatised by the nuclear attack are given poisoned rations. Danny and Ben register for ration cards, they only visit the local feeding centre once.Presently, the Commissioner's men come to the shop and arrest Mr Lodge. The lorry bearing Mr. Lodge explodes, killing everyone on board, and leaving Danny and Ben orphans.

The brothers seek sanctuary at the home of Sam Branwell, a smallholder who, along with several other survivors, has formed a resistance movement called Masada, an acronym for "Movement to Arm Skipley Against Dictational Authority" and an allusion to the historic siege. Masada has the aim of overthrowing the Commissioner and preventing the creation of a feudal society; its other members include Keith Rhodes (who was responsible for blowing up the lorry), Danny's former P.E. teacher, and Kim.

The protagonists discover that a concentration camp has been erected on a farm outside of Skipley, with the remaining able-bodied population being used as slave labour under the Commissioner's rule. Members of Masada decide to step up their campaign of resistance, and launch a night raid on the camp. 

After a battle, the Commissioner is overthrown and Branwell is established as the new leader. Kim's sister Maureen has become pregnant, and Kim is worried that the baby may be deformed; in the end, it is born without a mouth, and dies not long afterwards.Foreign troops arrive by helicopter, revealing there to be communities all over Europe.

Believing the Swiss troops will rescue them, the camp foolishly eat many of their rations. In fact, the Swiss confiscate their weapons and disable the few vehicles they have. By now, the camp's food supplies are exhausted, forcing the people to scavenge for whatever they can find, and many are dying.

Gradually, people start to leave in small groups to fend for themselves. Shortly after Branwell dies from exhaustion during the second winter after the war, Danny, Kim, and Ben leave the camp. They went to a café to find food. Danny and Ben are hungry. They look for the food inside a cellar where Danny gets busy talking with Kim.

While they both are discussing about the hidden food in cellar, Rhodes creeps towards Ben. He holds a tight grip on Ben's mouth. Kim notices Rhodes and calls Danny. Danny comes up with food and reacts after seeing Rhodes. Rhodes leave Ben and say him to stay where he was. 

Danny is showing his bravery and courage to Rhodes in front of Kim. Ben creeps towards a tin of beans. Kim sees what he is trying to do so she makes Rhodes busy in a useless talk. Ben throws a tin of beans at Rhodes so he becomes out-cold. Ben dies on the hands of danny. Danny sleeps on the dead body of Ben and sees a nice flashback in his dream.

SUMMARY:

                   ACT 1

Scene 1,

              The scene takes place in a shop belonging to the Lodge family in the town of Skipley, consisting of Danny Lodge, Ben (his little brother), Mary (his mother) and Richard (his father).

The shop is a general store (selling normal household items) and at the time there is a threat by the Russians that they will drop nuclear bombs on the area (there is only a threat; the characters are not expecting it at all). When the scene starts, Danny is narrating his life story, and it is clear it is not a happy story (something bad WILL happen). A friend of Mary, Mrs. Troy is with her son, Craig (same age is Ben, 5 years old) and they are discussing the prices. This shows that the prices are rising due to the threat and that people are ready to stack up food items for a long time, and the shop owners are taking advantage. The Government is also recommending stacking up food and Mrs. Troy asks for big bottles of water. But the shop is out of them and Mary reassures her that there will be no bombing. Then Danny comes in with a broken Game Boy, and in this scene we know he dislikes his brother and considers him a nuisance, and right now he doesn’t appreciate him.  Then the women talk about Old Kershaw’s Farm, which shows that they have already started suspicion of each other and the actions of the Government, and they are scared inside. When Mrs. Troy leaves, Mary and Richard talk. The conversation shows that they are stashing the big bottles for themselves, and have already started the “survival of the fittest” in which the best supplied man survives. Danny continues introducing everyone. He shows his hatred for Skipley and he doesn’t appreciate it at all.

Scene 2,

              The scene takes place in the school where Mr. Rhodes (the PE teacher) is giving a presentation on how to survive if the bombing ACTUALLY happens and the seminar is called "Protect and Survive".

Danny’s hatred for Rhodes is already mentioned in the previous Scene. Rhodes tells the audience about some drills and how to survive (setting up camp, waiting for help, supplies, shelters, radiation sickness, etc). He emphasizes on the Warning Sirens. The students are not taking the assembly serious at all. They are laughing and making cat-calls. This shows they do not believe the threat and try to show it makes no difference to them. But Rhodes puts them down by telling them the deathly consequences, and the audience calms down, but they are still unaware the catastrophe and the sadness of death and despair and are still not serious.

Scene 3,

              The scene takes place in the school break where the students are still making fun of the assembly and normal life is going on.

The students are still making fun of the assembly and don’t care about the bomb threat. Sophie (a friend of Danny) invites Danny to a birthday party and not Andrew. This shows that life for the people is going as per usual routine and they don’t worry about the future, they are only living in the present.

Scene 4,

              Kershaw’s Farm. The rumors of Mary and Mrs. Troy are true. A Civil Defense Team has been set up (“Civil Defense Team” protects civilians from natural and other disasters).

The setup of the CDS (Civil Defense Team) shows that the bombs are a serious matter and the mass (the people) is unaware of the private matters. A serious lecture is taking place between the army members on how to survive radiation, how to get supplies, how to come outside, etc, by Renton (the medical officer). Weirdly, the CDS only keeps these demonstrations to themselves. If they had wanted the rest of the town to survive, wouldn’t they have told the people? This shows they only want to survive themselves and don’t care about the other people if they survive or not. This conversation goes on until suddenly the lights go out and a siren (Warning Siren) goes out and it is clear the bombs are on their way.

Scene 5,

               It’s the scene of a destroyed town and the country has just fallen victim to full-scale nuclear attack. The scene freezes showing a mushroom cloud that appears on the screen.

It is a rumbling sound of the terrifically roaring bomb. After which the air’s silence was followed by a thunderous bang. It’s an image of a moving mushroom cloud that freezes. It’s the effortless moment, the start of wild humanity.

Loads of people didn’t make it

But we are going to be alright

I am afraid it would not work

Past relaxing end & soulful nights

                   ACT 2

Scene 1,

              Danny is up and makes his way home. All around him he sees destruction. In the book, it says that “he cleans his body with his sweatshirt” according to the speech of Mr Rhodes in the assembly. This means that during the assembly he was non-serious, and now he has to face that situation, and act accordingly.

Danny is walking on the street towards his home. The bombs have destroyed everything. The people who made it to the shelters have survived. After the bomb blast Danny comes out of his hiding place and sees Mr. Bukovsky who just stares into space. He acts like that his batteries are taken out. Danny runs towards home and he is tensed.

Scene 2,

               Danny has reached his home and tries to find his parents and family. He feels they are the only people he wants to see the most right now. He goes into the cellar and sees Ben sleeping. Then his father comes, and tries to kill him (he doesn’t know it is Danny).

 His father finds out that it is Danny and embraces (hugs) him. Then Danny tells him that he had been staying in school that day in detention. He had been the last to leave school (as he had been delayed). On his way home, it starts raining heavily (raining of nuclear bombs) so he takes refuge (protection) in a small shelter (place where you can take refuge during the bomb attack) near Kershaw’s Farm. Then the nuclear bombs fall. He is very scared and sleeps (due to fatigue). When he wakes up he sees the glow of the warning sirens and alarms on the hill. He sleeps again and after waking he suspects that he has radiation sickness.

Scene 3,

               The Civil Defense Team is still in the bunker and is in shock and panic of the bomb.

Councillor Walker (a woman) is in denial of the bombs and is crying. Frank Finch (the Commissioner; highest ranked amongst the CDT) tells her that the bombs have actually happened. We find out that even the CDT was completely unprepared and unaware of the bombing. Various sergeants (Lightfowler, Stroud and Laycock) are talking to each other and it shows that they are planning something selfish.

Scene 4, 

               The survivors of Skipley have gathered to get supplies from a camp set up by the Civil Defense Team. Danny and Andrew are waiting in a line at the community well for water.

Danny and Andrew talk to each other about their fathers. Andrews’ father (Mr. Bukowsky) has lost his mind due to shock and has become a spacer. This may have happened because he lost more than only his wife unlike Danny’s father. Then a new character, Kim, is introduced. In this scene, we find out Kim's character traits: 

·         She is fearless and brave.

·         She is cunning and clever.

·         She does anything to survive.

·         She is very serious.

·         She is not afraid to kill.

·         She is very strong and fast.

Kim has some food in a sack and is running from two of her old schoolmates, Chris and Tracey. There is a fight where Kim wins and Danny takes her away, but Kim stops and tries to kill Chris. Danny stops her as he doesn’t want violence. This shows that Danny still doesn’t know the realities of life, like the plans of Civil Defense Team, and that people have started killing each other for food, etc. We see that he is still innocent and immature when he reveals to Kim that he has a shop and has stored food.

Scene 5,

              The Civil Defense Team is holding their first public official announcement in front of the residents of Skipley.

Sergeant Stroud is making the announcement. We find out that the CDT has made their headquarters and civil hospital at Kershaw's Farm. He announces help for injured citizens and the people are really happy.

Scene 6,

               The scene starts at the hospital of Kershaw's Farm (it is called Medical "Wing" because it is part of their head quarters now).

Renton is addressing a group of survivors. Andrew approaches him and asks him for help for his father, who is a spacer. Renton refers to Mr. Bukowsy's injury as serious and Andrews' as unserious. Meanwhile Commissioner Finch and Councillor Walker had been talking in the background. They move into focus and we see what they say. When Finch refers to "as strong as you or I" and the following sentences suggest they both have an evil plan in mind that is "rather drastic (very unexpected/extreme)" which the others don't know about. And furthermore, after the rest of the sergeants enter, Finch changes the subject as he doesn't want the rest of them to know. The sergeants bring forward news of MASADA (Movement to Arm Skipley Against Dictatorial Authority) which is a resistance (rebels). Renton reports about the number of sick and injured which is 35. Finch argues that the limit had been set to 20. There are no medical supplies in the camp of the CDT and Renton argues that he cannot heal the people without supplies. Then Finch says that "he will take care of the situation..." If a doctor cannot heal people without supplies, what will a normal Commissioner do??? Then we find out that he takes two soldiers with him and kills the injured people. In the end of the scene, the medical sign turns red as a sign that instead of helping people, the CDT is killing them. From here we know the evils plans of the CDT.

Scene 7,

              The Civil Defense Team has set up food rations (supplies) for the citizens. The characters are standing in a line for the able-bodied citizens; the rest of the people (spacers, injured, sick) are in another line.

From the looks of it, Danny and the other boys think that the CDT is giving the good food to the injured people so they can get better. This point is proved wrong when Ken goes to the other line, eats the food, and dies later on. Later, Charlie (friend of Danny) tells Danny that people have now started "badger-hunting". This is actually a trick. Charlie is calling normal people "badgers". This shows that now people are treated like animals. The sense of humanity has finished, and Survival of the Fittest has started. Danny is still innocent and he is easily tricked by Charlie.

Scene 8,

               Danny and Charlie are on their way to hunt "badgers" (people). Danny is still dumb and doesn't realize that they are going to hunt people. They reach the mansion of Sophie Cartwright (Act I, Scene 3).

They reach Sophie's mansion. Danny still thinks they are hunting for badgers. Charlie urges Danny to insert a smoke device into a shelter made by Sophie's family. He already has all the necessary equipment and tactics with him e.g the club, smoke-device, which shows that he is experienced at this and has done this before. The smoke forces the Mr.Cartwright (Sophie's father) out of their shelter. Suddenly, Danny hits Charlie and takes the gun. Now he is in charge (Danny still hasn't recognized Sophie's father). He demands supplies, and the Cartwright family comes out. Danny becomes hard-lined (very aggressive). Sophie comes forward and Danny is taken aback. She asks if this is the way he was accepting "her invitation" (for her birthday party). Danny asks when her birthday was. This shows that people have even forgotten the date and time during the "Survival of the Fittest." Also, when Sophie tell her father about Danny, Danny replies, saying, "He can't help you Sophie..... not this time." Which shows that money is unimportant now. Then Danny runs away. Charlie gets shot by Mr.Cartwright and Danny drops the bag and runs, startled.

Scene 9,

               Danny is keeping watch with a club in his hand beside the remains. Ben is worried about his mother whose body was laying under a pile of bricks.

Danny is thinking about what he did at the Badger Hunt. He is wondering that what has happened to him. First he had to go to Sophie's birthday but then he went to snatch some tin of beans for a live. He was so obsessed but somehow he thought that he was right. Suddenly an APC comes near the shop. Richard goes towards the APC thinking somebody came to help. The people who were in the APC were the Civil Defense Team. Richard was warning his sons by shouting loudly to CDT,

        "There's no one else there. It's just me. The rest of my family were killed in the attack."

They took all the resources and Richard Lodge with them into the APC. The ACP bearing Mr. Lodge explodes, killing everyone on the board, and leaving Danny and Ben orphans. The members of CDT and Richard die. Rhodes has shot the APC and Danny thinks he killed his dad on purpose. The members of MASADA come in view. Danny hates MASADA and he refuses their offer of coming to live with them.

Scene 10,

                Danny is carrying Ben and they both are exhausted. Danny is not knowing what to do. 

Danny cannot walk any further. He places Ben on the ground, then lies next to him. They sleep by a barn. Stroud announces to the survivors of Skipley to register themselves or otherwise they will forfeit their rights as a British citizen. Kate comes out of the barn door and discovers Danny and Ben. She wakes Danny, picks up Ben and takes them both inside.

                   ACT 3

Scene 1,

              Danny and Ben had been walking in search for help. Danny was in disgust of the situation in the world and of Rhodes (because he had killed Danny's father).

Branwell (who has already met Danny in the previous scene) welcomes them and tells him about MASADA. Kim's sister, Kate, is introduced. Danny says that "there has been already too much fighting", meaning that he is sick and tired of the deception and lies of the world and just wants everything to stop. Then Danny sleeps and dreams. The Shadow Chorus comes in and plays a role. They act like savages (which represents the evil in the world) while Danny fights them with flowers (this is nothing to laugh about, he is doing it because it represents that he is trying to counter evil with good). The flowers are then taken away from him. Then his mother and father enter (REMEMBER that this is still a dream!), and he is welcomed warmly by them. This shows that he still remembers them and needs them. He also wants Peace to break out. Then when his parents leave and he wakes up, the person he sees is Kim, which means that he needs Kim to survive. Kim invites him to the canteen of the MASADA.

Scene 2,

               Councillor Walker is conducting a choir with soldiers singing in the choir. After they finish, The Crowd Cheers.

Finch cheers the choir and his own Councillor Walker. But While cheering them up, he also admits or reminds them that the past few months were very harsh and they didnt get the time to celebrate for even a single moment. But after saying this, he is thankful for most of the things that are atleast happening for their betterment. He says that they would be managing the farm so that they have something to feed on ( REMEMBER that food was hard to get during the war ). Finch also announces that he had found beverages in Old Man Kershaws cellar and also said that they would be opening some for the appreciation of the hard ships the soldiers had done.

Scene 3,

               At MASADA. The People are singing "Silent Night". Danny Enters ( on the stage ) and talks to the audience.

Danny says that they had been living with Branwell for ages. Danny is sure and says that the skipley survivors have grown food in the farm and have posioned the well so that people work for them. Kim enters. Danny fancies ( likes ) Kim, so he wants to asks her out ( But remember, he doesnt ask her out YET ). The romance stays for a while and finishes when Kim says that she took part in the Ambush. Danny reminds her that the ambush is deadly but the only reaction of kim was that " We Need More Weapons " which means that they needed more people.

Scene 4,

               This takes place in the Ambush. Rhodes ( Leader ) is talking with his team about the ambush plan. He had 4 grey,Plastic Bowls.

Rhodes had a plan of laying those plastic bowls on the road to trick the vehicles. Kim is suprised to see Danny and Danny asks a question to Rhodes: "What if they drive around the vehicle". The answer was simple: "Run".The Shadow chorus APC (appear on the screen) making an armoured vehicle shape. The plan was working fine and the Ambush was able to kill 1 soldier. But the plan Backfired and Danny is taken as a prisoner.

Scene 5,

               Kershaws Farm. Danny is tied up and is Beaten. Walker and Sergeant Griffiths enter.

In this scene, Danny is only asked questions. Walker wants to know hat he was doing with the Ambush and hits Danny so he speaks up. Danny Simply said that he wanted to burn some biscuits as Mice had ate it ( Finch is thinking that danny is a spacer ). Finch knew that Danny was of no use and scolded Griffiths and Walker. Finch ordered Griffiths to release Danny.

Suddenly Branwell enters and he brings Danny and Craig along as well but they are  severly injured. Kim feels very bad for Danny and is sure the soldiers did that to him. Mrs Troy says that Danny saved their lives, when they went to see a Well ( a place where water is found ). The well was surrounded by Goths. Danny then Introduces branwell. He was the one who gave shelter to Ben and Danny when the shop was being raided. He also introduced Rhodes and said he loved to kill. Everyone leaves so that Kim and Danny could get some free space. Kim asks about the situation in the farm and Danny told her how he was about to die and he was chill with that.

Kim is telling all the problems that baby could face such as no water, destroyed crops and food worth a month. She is telling that the baby can born with abnormalities. Danny was supporting Kim because she was right and she had a point. Kim says that they are going to die because of no good plans.
