In Act 1 scene 1 Mr.M set up the format of a debate in order to address the subject of apartheid how effective is this format for staging purposes?

I think the debate goes off into a tangent about gender equality which is not what Mr. had envisioned. A school debate is in progress at Zolile High School. Mr. M, a teacher, stands at a table with two students, Isabel and Thami, on either side of him. Isabel is white, and Thami is black. Mr. M calls for order while Isabel and Thami argue with each other about something Isabel has just said. Thami believes that she said that women are more emotional than men, while she clarifies that she said, "women were more intuitive than men" (p.7). Finally, Mr. M is able to get their attention and silence by ringing the school bell "violently" (p.7).
