Chapter 1: What is the main theme of the episode 'Darlings'?
You're listening to Petrified. This episode, Darlings.
Oh, Hamlet, speak no more. Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very soul, and there I see such black and grained spots as will not leave their tinct.
Nay. but to live in the rank sweat of an unseamed bed, stewed in corruption, honeying and making love over the nastiest times.
Oh, speak to me no more. These words like daggers enter in my... Jesus, fuck! My heart!
It's only the bell for end of class. Please ignore it.
Enter in mine ears... No more, sweet Hamlet.
A murderer and a villain. A slave that is not twentieth.
It's just a drill, it's just a drill. Everybody form a line out to the yard, please. Will we wait here or go to the staff room? Oh, no, you'll have to come out with us. It could be a fire. But we're in costume. Everybody burns, no matter the outfit.
Give me a cigarette, bunny darling. Here you are.

Chapter 2: How do the characters express their frustrations with the acting industry?
Where's Yvonne?
She might need a bit more TLC.
How did you manage to get your hands on a wheelchair?
They had one in the first aid room. They could see I was in distress, Bunny.
I've a good mind to tip you out on the cobble.
Now, don't be doing that. Is the headmaster standing at the door looking at us?
Yes. Oh, Bunny, my ankle. He just clutched his throat.
Excellent. I pretended to slip on one of the little shite-stropped pencils. He started grumbling about a partial refund after the show. This will shut him up.
You won! You survived! Barely, Pat, barely.

Chapter 3: What dramatic events unfold during the performance preparation?
We are two of the finest Shakespearean actors in the country. I was nominated for an Evening Standard Award.
I have an award named after me.
Because there's cobwebs on both of you. Yvonne, your Ophelia drowning looks like Miss Haversham in the bath. Turlock, when Romeo poisoned himself, the kids thought you were really dead because you couldn't get up off the tomb. They don't want Yvonne and Turlock Grace mincing around the PE hall. They want something fresh, exciting, experimental.
I'm not holding a camera up to my face to be projected onto the wall. Every pore a gaping chasm.
And I'm not gender swapping and playing Polonius or some tripe. My acting is honest.
True. You played all of King Lear's daughters. Cordelia's about 18.
Bonnie, it's up to you to get us gigs. That's what you're hired for.
That's what I'm doing. And cleaning your house. And making the lunches. Look... It's just a bit of a dry patch. We'll get through the school Shakespeare season and then I'll focus on something more. Substantial. My mind has been elsewhere. I have to get that library of yours painted and sort out all your filing. And your taxes are in the state.
Thank you, Bonnie, darling. We really would be lost without you. It's nearly 1pm, by the way.

Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift to past traumas and secrets?
Do you have a criminal history?
She does.
Shoplifting?
Nothing so tacky. No. There were a couple, a handful of kids that went missing and she was arrested. What? Now, look, she was never actually convicted because they never found the things. Small mercies, what? But she was possibly in the papers before she changed her name. Do you think they'd look that up now?
Don't look.
I feel like I've left my body. Why did they arrest her?
Oh, the minuscule amount of children that decided to go missing had been at various events where she had been working as a children's entertainer. That was literally the only tenuous link.
And she's working in the schools now?
Well, that's marvelous. Helen Keller would know what we've been talking about now. Yes, Yvonne, yes. We're talking about you. Oh, she's not there.

Chapter 5: What revelations come to light about the character Yvonne?
Well, not only smothering. Methods evolved over time.
I like them to hang around for a bit.
Did a child ever get away? Survive?
Unless they can crawl out of graves or reassemble themselves from ashes.
We don't have the kid!
Oh, no, sorry, it's your 15-minute call.
He gets! Bunny, help me put on this wig cap, or you'll never find out what happened to the cultural ambassador's child.
Rory, I believe. Thank you, darling!
Yes, Turlock.
