Taboos: Pack of 5

A series of newly commissioned plays for National Curriculum English at Key Stage 3 (particularly attainment target 1, speaking and listening) and Drama. The three volumes in the series are thematically linked, large-cast, half-hour plays for classroom reading and performance. "Taboos" investigates the myths and prejudices that create taboos - from an 18th-century ghost story to modern taboos such as death and disability. The follow-up assignments focus on English attainment targets for reading, writing, speaking and listening; improvisation and acting work for Key Stage 3 Drama; and technical and design tasks for Drama, Art and Technology. The authors are drawn from TIE, provincial, youth and fringe theatre throughout the country. The plays are available either singly or in packs of 5.
