DAVID EDGAR Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic horror story, this dramatic adaptation shows the transformation of the mild-mannered Dr Jekyll into the fiendish Mr Hyde. When Jekyll discovers a drug that can transform him, he becomes able to unleash the dark side of his nature onto the streets of Victorian London. But he soon discovers the price of his double life. What’s the hook? This compelling play makes Stevenson’s classic pre-1914 novella accessible to pupils, whilst remaining faithful to the original prose, allowing them to fully engage with the plot and themes. What are the themes? The struggle between good and evil, the conscious and unconscious, family relationships, Victorian society and morality. Teaching points With one actor taking the roles of both Jekyll and Hyde, the play allows pupils to more easily understand that these characters are ‘one’ person. The play is suitable for use either at Key Stage 3, or to support the study of the novel at Key Stage 4. @ Longman School Drama MARY MORRIS Two Weeks with the Queen An adaptation of Morris Gleitzman’s hilarious yet poignant novel. When his brother is suddenly taken seriously ill, Colin is sent from his home in Australia to England to stay with his Aunty Iris. At first, Colin is devastated, but then he hits on a plan: who better to help him find a doctor able to make his brother better than the Queen? What’s the hook? This play version cleverly lifts the key moments from Gleitzman’s novel and presents them in a light-hearted, amusing and open way, making an ideal drama text for Key Stage 3. What are the themes? Family, responsibility, relationships, death, grief, growing-up, injustice and prejudice. Teaching points An ideal opportunity to look at a popular text in different forms, helping pupils to appreciate the similarities and differences between plays and novels. The play also offers a wide range of opportunities to focus on pertinent contemporary issues that are presented in an accessible way. CHARLES WAY The Search for Odysseus Based on Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey, this play centres on the hero’s son, Telemachus, and his quest to find his lost father. Telemachus was only a year old when Odysseus left to fight in the Trojan wars, leaving his wife, Penelope, behind. Years later, the war is over and Telemachus and Penelope expect Odysseus to return. When he does not, Penelope’s suitor, Eurymachus, determines to take Odysseus’s place. To stop him, Telemachus must find his father and bring him home. What’s the hook? A modern reworking of The Odyssey that will engage pupils through its appealing teenage protagonists and timeless story. What are the themes? Families, relationships, growing-up, myths and legends. Teaching points The play provides an accessible stimulus for work on myths and legends. Vivid characters, that pupils will be able to relate to, and a compelling plot can lead to exciting oral and written work. Paperback Paperback Paperback Paperback new!

Mark’s father is a preacher, but a violent man, who beats his wife and shows little affection for his children. For Mark, fulfilling his goals involves a conflict between following his own ambitions and escaping his family. What’s the hook? A moving portrayal of teenage life and ambition set against a background of adversity. Zephaniah’s poetry suffuses the play with rhythm and flavour. What are the themes?
