Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Originally a 1979 British TV play by Dennis Potter, Blue Remembered Hills has become a staple of student drama productions, particularly in the UK.Set in the Forest of Dean area of the English countryside in the middle of WW2, the play follows seven children (played by adults) - Willie, Peter, John, Raymond, Angela, Audrey and Donald - over the course of a summer afternoon. They play, argue, fight, and struggle to understand the adult world and its issues. However, a childish prank causes the day to end in a horrific tragedy.The title comes from a poem which is recited at the end of the play, and by Dennis Potter himself in the TV version. It's often linked with Lord of the Flies as a thorough deconstruction of the Children Are Innocent trope. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness | |
| Blue Remembered Hills (Theatre) / int_2a015a74 | comment |
Beauty Equals Goodness: Zig-zagged. Angela is often stated to be much more attractive than Audrey and is generally much nicer as well. However, she certainly indulges in her fair share of nastiness towards Donald. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Blue Remembered Hills (Theatre) / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Though no adults ever appear in the play, it's clear from the children's conversations that several are aware of the abuse Donald is suffering from and are unwilling to offer any help. The complete absence of adults - even around the barn - subconsciously invokes this trope. | |

Berserk Button: Calling Donald "Donald Duck" or "Quack Quack"; implying Peter isn't the best at something (unless the best happens to be Wallace Wilson. Then Peter is second best). | |

Bad "Bad Acting" | |
| Blue Remembered Hills (Theatre) / int_f19e8a55 | comment |
Bad "Bad Acting": When Donald, Angela and Audrey are playing House together. Can often edge into Black Comedy territory. | |
