Justin goes to great lengths to oblige her request for marijuana in the hopes of winning her affection — only to find out that his crush is actually an undercover cop planted in the school to find drug dealers. 21 Chump Street confronts the issues of peer pressure and conformity in schools, and covers the stark divide between the sensible-seeming ‘war on drugs’ and the stark, unexpected realities of its enforcement.Director: Byron BacheFor more http://chapeloffchapel.com.au/melbourne-comedy-theatre-art/melbourne-events/melbourne-theatre/21-chump-street-8-18-june/Subscribe to the Theatre First podcast at
