Description The plays follows Daphne's experiences in school where her history and culture make everyone laugh at her quiz answers; at the footie and the ballet where her clothes and behaviour turn out to be inappropriate; and on TV in 'Perfect Hatch' where she is seen as a 'dag' by all the super-cools because she answers honestly. Chased down by Inspector D. Rake, Daphne has her day in court where everyone turns into ducks, 'too busy quacking to deliver a verdict. There is no crime'3.
