Plays For Young People
by Philip Osment
Highlights
Why we like it
"A thoughtful selection of plays that resonate with young audiences, perfect for introducing the joys of theatre."
From: Plays for Young Performers (Ages 8–12)Synopsis
The four plays in this volume were written for teenage audiences and deal with issues of gender, AIDS, disability, relationships, ethnic strife, crime, drugs and bullying.
In Who's Breaking?
a young man, learning that he is HIV-positive, is forced to rethink his life and attitudes.
At the heart of Listen is the fractured relationship between a deaf teenager and his uncomprehending father.
Sleeping Dogs concerns the love affair between a Muslim boy and a Christian girl during the war in former Yugoslavia.
Through its three troubled protagonists, Wise Guys poses the central question addressed by all these plays: can young people caught up in self-destructive cycles break free of them?
