商品簡介
Love and loss, forbidden relationships and divided families, sexuality and politics, education and violence: these are just some of the issues explored in these plays for young people to perform.
Producers' Choice: Six Plays for Young Performers showcases some of the best plays for young people that have been produced by the UK's leading theatre companies. It includes modern reworkings of classics, such as Simon Reade's brilliantly inventive adaptation of Lewis Carroll's much-loved fantasy, and D. J. Britton's thrilling version of Sophocles' Theban plays, the tragic Oedipus/Antigone.
From ancient Greece to modern day Westminster, Tory Boyz is a fast-paced political comedy about prejudice, sexuality and ambition among young Tories. Contemporary teenage life is explored in Megan Barker's beautiful and uplifting Promise, Sarah May's The Butterfly Club, written in response to teen suicides around Bridgend, South Wales, and Simon Stephens' hit-play set in a grammar school, the explosive Punk Rock.
Including tales of tragedy, comedy and fantasy, this is a collection to inspire and challenge actors aged thirteen to twenty-five.
