RECOMMENDATIONS GUIDE:

Read – read the play as a genre of writing.

Read aloud – allocate parts and read aloud in class.

Study – dive into the themes and ideas the play presents, discuss and analyse.

Perform in class – excerpts or scenes.

Produce (see production licensing) – as a class or whole school production.

Use as stimulus for making and responding – use the script and its style and themes as a jumping off point for creating a response.

 

NOTE: There is staging advice for some plays. The advice comments on casting, performing and presenting in an education context.
