About Coins Against The Wall
A play about bullying, asking whether anything can actually be done about it. A gang of boys engage David in a game of 'coins against the wall' every day at school, a game for which David needs a daily supply of money, and which he inevitably loses. When he doesn't have money he truants from school, and eventually steals money from home.
Directed by Len Brown, Coins Against The Wall leans on a strong ensemble — Martin Murphy, Brian Osborne, Vilma Hollingbery — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1980.
