Drawing together the work of 10 leading playwrights, this National
Theatre Connections anthology features work by some of the most
exciting and established contemporary playwrights. Gathered
together in one volume, the plays collected offer young performers
between the ages of 13 and 19 an engaging selection of material to
perform, read or study. Each play has been specifically
commissioned by the National Theatre's literary department with the
young performer in mind. The anthology contains 10 play scripts;
notes from the writer and director of each play, addressing the
themes and ideas behind the play; and production notes and
exercises for the drama groups. This year's anniversary anthology
includes plays by Suhayla El-Bushra, Anders Lustgarten, Robin
French, Tim Etchells, Patrick Marber, Kellie Smith, Lizzie Nunnery,
Harriet Braun and Alistair McDowall.
Simon Ireland has worked as an English teacher for 35 years and
brought many poets into schools for workshops, Book Weeks and the
like. Now he has published a collection of his work for 7-13 year
olds, with the aim of entertaining and educating young readers.
Each poem is matched by questions designed to prompt pupils to
think about the meaning in the verses and explore the ideas in them
more widely. The book has been designed to encourage youngsters to
read more widely and even have a go themselves. An entertaining and
instructive introduction to poetry for youngsters.
