Editorial Reviews

Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake for young adults…Recommended.

— CM Magazine

They are hard-hitting plays for older children that tackle subjects like self-esteem.

— Canadian Children's Book News

A superb tool for teachers as well as aspiring actors, directors and playwrights.

— The Midwest Book Review

It demystifies theatre and makes putting on a performance -small or grand - very doable.

— Professionally Speaking (Ontario College of Teachers)

The best part of the book is that it includes complete scripts, production notes, stage directions and photos.

— Monday Magazine

I would recommend this book as a resource for any teacher learning or instructing in Drama.

— Resource Links

An introduction that will be interesting reading for a pre-adolescent or teenager keen on understanding the magic of theatre.
