Description
Readership: Key Stage 3 English and Drama students

Oxford Playscripts are carefully chosen to appeal to students and encourage them to participate in performance, improvisation, and reading aloud.

Special adaptations of classic and contemporary literature combine with lively, original drama to cater for a range of abilities and interests.

  • All the plays are presented in context, with ideas for follow-up work to encourage debate and develop communication, writing and research skills
  • Special introduction by the playwright, adaptor or novelist
  • Starting points for creative writing, role plays, and improvisation
  • Opportunities for individual response, pair work, and group activities
  • Non-fiction material which highlights and develops key themes from the plays
  • Ideal way to develop the skills of speaking, listening, group discussion, and interaction, as demanded by the English Framework document

    Reviews:

    "This series deserves great success in schools because it presents far more than good acting opportunities. The plays open up new fields of knowledge and experience, as the best fiction and the best drama should."
