Playforms: Seven Scripts for Secondary Drama

They give students an opportunity to discover and unravel stylistic conventions in a creative and immediately rewarding manner. Playforms is suitable for the increasing number of students opting to follow a course in Theatre Studies or Drama at GCSE. The authors have provided basic introductions to the scripts along with short and simple activities by way of follow-up work.
