Kategoriewenner van SAVI-Via Afrika Vertalersprys 2006 vir uitmuntende vertaling. Inwoners van Nieu-Bethesda praat van hulle dorpie en die omgewing as die Vallei, en Athol Fugard het sy inspirasie vir sy karakters, Veronica en Buks, in die dorpie gekry. Die storie is op die oog af eenvoudig: Die ou bruin man, Buks, is lief vir die stuk grond waar hy groente kweek. Hy hoop dat sy kleindogter by hom sal bly en die waarde van die grond besef. Sy wil egter 'n gewilde sangeres word en tot Buks se groot teleurstelling besluit sy om Johannesburg toe te trek. Sy probleem word vererger deur die feit dat 'n wit man (Die Skrywer) die stuk grond wil koop. Die belangrikste kwessies en verhoudings in die drama word meesterliker al komplekser gemaak. Aan die einde van die stuk is daar 'n groot gevoel van verlies, maar daar is ook 'n gevoel van versoening en groei wanneer Buks en Die Skrywer saam op die plaas die toekoms inbeweeg. Lied van die Vallei besing eintlik die menslike vreugdes en konflik waaruit die lewe bestaan. Die drama wat oorspronklik in Engels geskryf is, heet Valley Song. Dit is deur Idil Sheard, 'n opvoedkundige en inwoner van Nieu-Bethesda, vertaal. "'n Flink tempo en oortuigende dialoog wat gemaklik oor die tong rol." Janie Oosthuysen, bekende vertaler van kinderliteratuur "Lied van die Vallei is 'n ontroerende oorgangsdrama: van grootword en oud word, van die ou orde wat moet plek maak vir die nuwe en van groei wat met verlies gepaard moet gaan. Die persoonlike klein storie roep 'n groter politieke situasie sonder geforseerdheid op. En soos Buks sy handvol Karoo pampoenpitte plant, plant ook die goed geoefende Fugard sy eenvoudige en gestroopte beelde om 'n wereld van kompleksiteit op te roep. Hierdie is 'n ideale kennismaking met 'n teaterteks. Nie net is dit 'n beeldskone en lekker `leesbare' drama nie, maar dit onthul ook soveel oor die tegnieke en konvensies van die teater as spel.

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.

Each book in this series combines an original play and a set of individual "Production Notes". The playscripts may be photocopied and distributed for classroom use. The "Production Notes" give practical help with casting, costumes, scenery and staging of the play itself. This play is based upon the traditional fairy story, where the Beast of the title turns out to be a gigantic slug with a slime problem. The running time of the play is approximately 45 minutes.

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.

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.

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 brilliant new collection of ten plays for young people will 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.
