Colleges, universities and high schools nationwide are seeking
up-to-date writing on themes related to cultural diversity. Roger
Ellis' previous multicultural anthologies of plays, scenes and
monologs have been in popular use for several years. This unique
anthology of complete plays is directed specifically to young
audiences from new writers of the multicultural experience. Many
international cultures are represented including African American,
Native American, Central and South American, Caribbean, Pacific
Island, Maori, Viking, Irish, Spanish, Gypsy, Canadian, Jewish,
Muslim, Pakistani, East Indian and more. Each of these plays
contain a significant number of roles for young actors. A valuable
text for multicultural, literary or speech classes; or for
theatrical applications.
Young Blood is a collection of plays for young people with the
following aims: * to publish some of the most interesting,
challenging, contemporary writing for young performers in one
volume. * to extend the life of the plays beyond their first
production. * to make them available to young people throughout the
UK To develop performing skills young people need to work on the
best scripts available; to have the opportunity to explore the
ideas, form and language of exceptional writers. Young people in
schools, youth theatres and colleges need to work on plays that
excite, stretch and inspire them. The response from young people to
the final selection has been remarkable. Several have been chosen
by students to be performed as part of their GCSE practical exams.
This collection doesn't include production or teachers' notes.
There are no fixed rules about how to use the plays. Produce the
whole play to a paying audience or work on scenes. Play about with
the casting. Double parts or have six people playing the same
character. The most important thing is to have fun with the
language, characters and staging so that young people enjoy working
on the plays. All of the plays in this collection have a unique
theatrical vision. Combine that with the energy, commitment and
imagination of a group of young people and the results will
definitely be worth watching! Includes the plays The Girl who fell
through a hole in her jumper by Naomi Wallace and Bruce Mcleod, The
Search for Odysseus by Charles Way, Darker The Berry by J.B.Rose,
Geraniums by Sheila Yeger, and, Out of their Heads by Marcus Romer.
This is a collection of eleven plays, written and devised by second and third year pupils using the Cambridge Latin Course. The language and background draw on Unit 1 of the Cambridge Latin Course, although students of other texts will be able to read and enjoy the collection. Unusual vocabulary is explained and there is also a consolidated vocabulary that includes macrons for pronunciation guidance. The casts of the eleven plays call for four to twenty-three characters with speaking parts of various lengths. The book also presents a vivid picture of Pompei's fiery end, referring not only to Pliny's ancient reports, but also to newspaper and artistic reports from more recent eruptions. This collection of playlets makes a stimulating supplement to beginners' courses, including, but certainly not limited to the Cambridge Latin Course. Pupils' amusement and involvement will help the teacher who finds the use of oral Latin increasingly helpful.

This text sets out to bring to life the Greek and Roman plays and
their staging, evoking the visual and emotional character of
performances and dramatic festivals and offering a clear account of
the plays and their writers. It attempts to re-create the
excitement of the competitions and analyses the practical
challenges faced by the playwrights and actors in staging the
plays, whether tragedies or comedies. It also aims to bring to life
the costumes, masks, stage and scenery, as well as the audience's
reactions to the experience. The book gives clear summaries of
well-known Greek and Roman plays and their authors, and explores in
depth some of the best-known, particularly "Antigone" and "The
Clouds." There are many suggestions for further study, including
additional reading for both the teachers and pupils, topics for
discussion, subjects to write about, and activities for individuals
and groups.
Drawing together the work of ten leading playwrights - a mixture of
established and emerging writers - this National Theatre
Connections anthology is published to coincide with the 2014
festival, which takes place across the UK and finishes up at the
National Theatre in London. It offers young performers between the
ages of thirteen and nineteen everywhere an engaging selection of
plays to perform, read or study. Each play is specifically
commissioned by the National Theatre's literary department with the
young performer in mind. The plays are performed by approximately
200 schools and youth theatre companies across the UK and Ireland,
in partnership with multiple professional regional theatres where
the works are showcased. As with previous anthologies, the volume
will feature an introduction by Anthony Banks, Associate Director
of the National Theatre Discover Programme, and each play includes
notes from the writer and director addressing the themes and ideas
behind the play, as well as production notes and exercises. The
National Theatre Connections series has been running for nineteen
years and the anthology that accompanies it, published for the last
three years by Methuen Drama, is gaining a greater profile by the
year. Some iconic plays have grown out of the Connections programme
including Citizenship by Mark Ravenhill, Burn by Deborah Gearing,
Chatroom by Enda Walsh, Baby Girl by Roy Williams, DNA by Dennis
Kelly, and The Miracle by Lin Coghlan. The series has a
recognisable brand and the anthologies continue to be an extremely
useful resource, their value extending well beyond their year of
publication. This year's anthology includes plays by Sabrina
Mahfouz, Simon Vinnicombe, Catherine Johnson, Pauline McLynn,
Dafydd James, Luke Norris and Sam Holcroft.

prove indispensable to schools, colleges and youth theatre groups.
Specially commissioned by the National Theatre for the Connections
Festival 2012 involving 200 schools and youth theatre groups across
the UK and Ireland, each play is accompanied by production notes
and exercises. Power struggles, rites of passage, love and
forbidden relationships are some of the rich themes that run
through the 2012 cycle of plays. Some are deeply funny, some are
provocative and some reflective; and one has really catchy songs!
For the 2012 Festival, the anthology has an international feel and
offers a window on the world. It includes from Australia a play
based on a nineteenth century court case in which a teenage girl
was falsely convicted; from Brazil a drama about young lovers
doomed to tragedy; set in Russia, a play exploring differing
attitudes to National Service and the collapse of the Soviet Union
in 1991; a drama about students' rights to an education and the
Cultural Revolution of 1966 in China; and a comedy involving a
group of Irish country girls travelling to London to audition for
the X-Factor.
