A Slap in the Face
by Peter Griffith
 
In reality Alan is an awkward teenager, and Melissa Brown
takes no notice of him. But in his imagination he is a hero,
rescuing Melissa from werewolves and skinheads, from
world-dominating villains and from the unwelcome amorous
attentions of Tarzan!
Every time Alan’s imagination leads him into a fantasy-world,
the embarassing return to reality leaves him looking foolish
and inadequate. What can Alan do to really impress Melissa?
 
A Slap in the Face is a light-hearted comedy that examines
schoolboy fantasies - and the pressure on young people to
tell lies in order to try to escape the consequences of
awkward situations.
When the going gets difficult, Alan challenges the audience
to advise him…but will Melissa Brown be as easy to fool as
Mr. Smedley? Alan soon discovers that when it comes to
relationships, life is not as easy as he had thought.
