The Judgement Test

By Michael Butt. A journalist asks Constable John Woolf, an officer in the armed units of the police, some difficult questions about his job. He gets some very unexpected answers.

Officers in the armed units of the Police have a dangerous job - both physically and psychologically. We ask them to face death and to make life and death decisions. But when it comes to the crunch, what kind of decisions does Constable John Woolf make? And how are they affecting him?

In Michael Butt's play, a probing journalist asks some difficult questions and gets some very unexpected answers.
