The importance of research:

Research now more than ever plays a crucial part in our piece, the amount of knowledge and understanding we have gathered by carefully reading and analysing what we have found on the event has created our piece. Below are some link of work and research we have looked at to help inspire our piece:

http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2009/may/06/monsters-james-bulger-arcola-niklas-radstrom - this allowed us to see the interpretation of the play 'Monsters' from the playwright's point of view.

http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/young/bulger/5.html - the novel allowed us to get most of our quotes to make our piece as realistic as possible.
