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.
