PLAYS FOR YOUTH THEATRES AND LARGE CASTS
NEIL DUFFIELD
Following the success of the adaptation we published for the stage of Charles Dickens' ‘The Christmas Carol’ also by Neil Duffield - we are pleased to provide the first collection ever of his plays for young people to perform.
TWICE UPON A TIME
Somewhere in the distant future a creature deceives a young warrior into entering the Otherworld. Can he find his way back to the girl he loves?
"There's some serious thought here about storytelling, perception, imagination, and different realities; and a few fine performances, too, from a company whose outstanding commitment and energy shine through every line of this blazingly adventurous show"
- The Scotsman re: Dundee Rep. production
SMALL FRY
'A play that pits dragons, scavengers and small fry against each other
in a battle for power, ownership and belonging.' The Telegraph
Winner of The Writers' Guild Award for Best Children's Play 2006
THE MINOTAUR
'A spell-binding version of the famous myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. 'An adventure for younger audiences – love, lust, betrayal and sibling rivalry… a story that asks important questions…' The Sheffield Star
TALKING WITH ANGELS
An original and highly imaginative retelling of the complex story of Joan of Arc.
'This fine show is suitable for anyone over the age of 7 and it works very well, especially the last powerful scene of Joan at the
stake" - The Stage
