BDS and the Faceless Ghost
by Peter Griffith
 
Two young detectives and their dog investigate the mysterious
death of Miss Blightwell's pets. But only Snuffles the dog is
clever enough to understand the danger coming from the leaking
yellow-and-black barrels in the neighbours' yard.
In the end, with the help of the village policeman, the terrible truth
emerges: Miss Blightwell is living next to a storage dump for used
nuclear fuel! Fortunately, the Minister for the Environment is able
to promise that all will be well.
 
Through the irony of the play's ending, the audience is encouraged
to consider the environmental problems caused by the nuclear
power industry and the world's high demand for energy.
The accompanying Teachers' Pack contains contributions from
Greenpeace as well as material from the nuclear industry.
