Blurb:

This is a collection of seven original plays to read or record primarily written for students in the lower forms of secondary school. These plays provide an excellent opportunity for group reading practice and also stimulate the students’ own sense of theatre through suggestions for 'Making Your Own Plays' and ‘Plots for You to Try’. The contents represent many different types of theatre: situation comedy, melodrama, pantomime, thriller and adventure story.

Blurb self-explanatory. These really are terrific fun, especially the micro-adaptation of Sweeney Todd, the ghost story centring around a funfair tragedy, and the Victorian melodrama. Have transcribed the latter which you may like to perform with like-minded, consenting adults. Cue Flight of the Bumblebee
