Foreword by Sir Ken Robinson
50 Best Plays is for students and lovers of theatre, parents and politicians, teachers and actors, a guide to progress over 50 years in a field of theatre dedicated to children and young people. 50 Best Plays is based on Vicky Ireland's and Paul Harman's extensive working knowledge of playwriting and production in England and celebrates the wonderful work created all over the UK.
At the book's heart is a detailed listing of 50 plays by English playwrights chosen by their contemporaries which have most influenced those working professionally to make theatre for young audiences in England today.
It describes a journey during which many attitudes towards education and the arts have changed, much has been learned and maybe too much forgotten.
Today, worldwide, practitioners in participatory or immersive theatre are working with children and young people, exploring their real world with them and helping them to express that experience through theatre.
New generations of theatre-makers will find this book a useful signpost to sources of inspiration in their future work for young audiences.
Celebrates the pioneers who helped establish and nurture the Theatre for Young Audiences sector in England over 50 years of original theatre
Compiled by two leading practitioners, this one-stop resource is of interest to parents, teachers, theatre professionals and/or arts administrators, and others interested in professional theatre for young audiences.
