Rudeboys 2 (Strange Days)

Part Two

‘The First Time’

…Following a 1-to-1 unwitnessed interview with the psychiatrist,

Arthur is informed that because of nurse Mustapha’s

uncorroborated allegation that Arthur is not taking his tablets, he will now be given medication by

injection…

Arthur knows Mr Burke insists on being called ‘Mister Burke’. All the other staff are called by

their first names. Mr Burke calls all the patients by their first

names. Mr Burke is also one of the few nurses to wear a

uniform. All the other staff wear everyday clothes.

Although it is the mid-1970’s, Mr Burke has a Teddy-Boy hair

style. Arthur associates Teddy Boys with ripping up cinema seats and other violence.

Arthur has hair over his ears and likes to be associated with non-violence, peace and love.

Furthermore, Arthur has heard that Mr Burke has trained at

Broadmoor, where Arthur has heard that some patients die

through over-sedation or being restrained.
