Reviews

'Concise and clear... the extracts are varied and interesting'
*Teaching Drama*

'Refreshing... Each extract is economically contextualised and followed by ideas for exploring the major themes of the piece and realising it on stage. Some gutsy issues are delved into from first sexual encounters (both straight and gay), homelessness, racialism, postapocalyptic survival, mental illness and inter-generational cultural tensions. I particularly liked the duologue from Offensive Fouls and the relationship drawn between a young offender and his case worker in Tough Case'
