This collection features four urgent and explosive plays by
award-winning playwright Evan Placey, each tackling issues facing
young people today. They provide ideal material for teenagers to
read, study and perform. Girls Like That explores the pressures
caused by technology when a schoolgirl's naked photograph goes
viral. Commissioned in 2013 by Birmingham Repertory Theatre,
Theatre Royal Plymouth and West Yorkshire Playhouse, it has
subsequently been performed by school and youth-theatre groups
across the UK, at the Unicorn Theatre, London, and in the Houses of
Parliament. It won the Writers' Guild Award for Best Play for Young
Audiences. Banana Boys, published here for the first time, is about
the challenges of being on the school football team - and secretly
gay. It was commissioned and produced by Hampstead Theatre's
heat&light company in 2010. In Holloway Jones, Holloway dreams
of being a world-class BMXer, but she is held back by the tough
reality of a parent in prison. Also making its debut in print here,
the play was commissioned by Synergy Theatre Project, toured
schools and the Unicorn Theatre in 2011, and won the 2012 Brian Way
Award for Best Play for Young People. Finally, Pronoun is a love
story about two childhood sweethearts dealing with the fact that
one of them, Isabella, has now become a boy. As one of the plays in
the 2014 National Theatre Connections Festival it proved enormously
popular with youth theatres and college companies. 'Maybe change
starts with plays like this' Lyn Gardner, Guardian, on Girls Like
