Summary: Brilliant play WHEN IS IT OUT ON DVD?!
Comment: That's all I want to say really. It is a perfect text to use in secondary school Drama, but try showing the original play, legally, to a class.
BRING OUT THE DVD! Otherwise there may have to be a Drama Teachers' mass demonstration. And you KNOW that's going to include some pretty ugly use of vocal warm-ups .

Summary: A great play, which hints at some deeper issues
Comment: We did extracts from this as our drama exam at the end of Year 9 - and I loved it. I think it was a really good choice on the teachers part (thank you!) as not only was it written to allow people (like me) who normally can't do accents very well to have a go (like the way Hagrids part in Harry Potter is written), but it also had a little bit of everything. Some of the characters include sluts, the sort of guys who think themselves "hard", shy little kids, jokers and one girl who at first seems quiet, but ends up contemplating suicide in a really moving scene near the end of the play. The teachers who go on the trip also have distinct personalities, including the kind, gentle teacher, the two student teachers and a senior male teacher, who seems very strict and harsh at first, though we later see a slightly more caring aspect of him later on in the play.
I'm sorry if I can't remember any of the characters names - it was around a year ago that I did this play, but it just shows how good it was for me to remember it and be inspired to write this review.
This is a really interesting and enjoyable play/book, which has deeper issues hinted at within it. Many of the points raised are well worth seriously thinking about, many of which I had never really thought about before but am glad I am now. I'd recommend this to anyone, but especially drama teachers and students.

Summary: A fun play and a nice story
Comment: This is an ideal play for performing at High School level, ages 11-14, its fun, witty, meaningful and has an easy to follow nice story. I have worked on this play with 11-14 year olds as a director and had a little part myself, its a kind of play that the kids love to do, as so much happens in the space of approx an hour and a half; They go to the Zoo, a castle and a fairground, it gives children a chance to be imaginative. It also makes a nice read for anyone not interested in performing it as a play.

Summary: A great book for any age!
Comment: As i read this book for an english essay i really enjoyed it. very humourus but serious too. the contents of the book are great because you really feel for the kids in the play but you also feel for the teachers.i would recomend it to anyone of any age because as i am 14 and i thought it was great although our teacher did say it was an adults book. so i recomend buying it to anyone who likes humour, acting or reading plays!!!!!
