Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake for young adults…Recommended.
They are hard-hitting plays for older children that tackle subjects like self-esteem.
A superb tool for teachers as well as aspiring actors, directors and playwrights.
It demystifies theatre and makes putting on a performance -small or grand - very doable.
The best part of the book is that it includes complete scripts, production notes, stage directions and photos.
I would recommend this book as a resource for any teacher learning or instructing in Drama.
An introduction that will be interesting reading for a pre-adolescent or teenager keen on understanding the magic of theatre.
