Producers' Choice - Six Plays for Young Performers

The plays are ideal for young performers aged 13-25 and offer a diverse range of challenges, styles and subjects

The plays include modern reworkings of classics, such as Simon Reade's witty and brilliantly inventive adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, and DJ Britton's version of Sophocles' Theban plays, the tragic Oedipus/Antigone

Contemporary teenage issues are dealt with in Megan Barker's beautiful and uplifting Promise and Sarah May's The Butterfly Club

Simon Stephens' hit-play Punk Rock set in a grammar school explores dislocation and aggression among sixth form pupils

Finally, James Graham's Tory Boyz is a fast-paced, political comedy about prejudice and ambition in Westminster

Each play features production notes and the volume is introduced by Paul Roseby, Artistic Director of the National Youth Theatre

Ideal for schools, youth theatre groups and drama colleges, this anthology of thematically and stylistically diverse plays will prove an invaluable resource
