About This Book

Drawing together the work of 10 leading playwrights, this National Theatre Connections anthology features work by some of the most exciting and established contemporary playwrights. Gathered together in one volume, the plays collected offer young performers between the ages of 13 and 19 an engaging selection of material to perform, read or study. Each play has been specifically commissioned by the National Theatre's literary department with the young performer in mind. The anthology contains 10 play scripts; notes from the writer and director of each play, addressing the themes and ideas behind the play; and production notes and exercises for the drama groups. This year's anniversary anthology includes plays by Suhayla El-Bushra, Anders Lustgarten, Robin French, Tim Etchells, Patrick Marber, Kellie Smith, Lizzie Nunnery, Harriet Braun and Alistair McDowall.

exercise: 
short 
synopsis 
Immediately 
after 
the 
read-through, 
you 
could 
ask 
your
company 
to 
individually 
write 
a 
couple 
of 
sentences 
– 
a 
short
synopsis 
of 
the 
play. 
This 
should 
include 
major 
plot 
points
and 
encapsulate 
the 
key 
outline 
of 
the 
story. 
Ask 
everyone 
to
share 
their 
sentences 
with 
the 
group 
and 
discuss 
the 
similarities/
differences/recurring 
themes. 
This 
is 
a 
useful 
exercise 
to
discover 
together 
some 
of 
the 
key 
narrative 
choices.

Something 
with

values 
to 
the

of

Those 
who
threaten 
their 
way 
of 
life?
The 
journey 
of 
the 
enemy 
and 
that 
process 
is 
important, 
–
from 
monsters 
to 
machines 
to 
an 
enemy 
with 
real 
purpose.
Not 
them 
and 
‘us’, 
just 
‘us’.
