Introduction
Workshop5- The Development The second part of workshop5 was to look at an extended part of "Too Much Punch for Judy". We were given a true piece of information that occurred after the original play.

Ten years later she went on to be responsible for another death in a road accident where she was not only drunk but had Cannabis in her bloodstream." Using the original style in which "Too Much Punch for Judy" is written our group devised an ending to the play based on the information just given.
