The 'Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty' is a play by David Calcutt.
It is About a Boy called Terry Dumpton who is nicknamed Humpty Dumpty. He is bullied in his new school by a gang lead by cruel, cunning Stubbs. Terry's only friend, Sammy, is a coward who can't stand up for himself. As the bullying gets worse, Terry begins to play truant (skip school) which worries and annoys his working-class parents, but they are powerless in the end.
In the opening scene, the bullies and 'hanger-on' Sammy are pressuring Terry into climbing a pylon (electrical building) to go after one of the bullies' Frisbee. To prove he's not a coward, poor Terry climbs the pylon but gets electrocuted. He dies - this is the Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty.
The rest of the play consists of Mrs Dumpton's reminiscence of the worrying events leading up to her son's tragic death, and the police inquiry into Terry's death by two police officers. In the end, scared, cowardly Sammy finally owns up to what happened to Terry and justice is done.
