My Father, Odysseus
AGE
14-18
Timberlake Wertenbaker
AGE
11-16
The timeless Greek myth of Odysseus has been reinvented by playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker to create a modern, rich and powerful new work about a son searching for his father and a father searching for himself that is, at the same time, an exploration of masculinity and the effects of war.
Mark Wheeller The words of the title are the last ones spoken by seventeen-year-old Daniel Spargo Mabbs to his mother. Daniel’s parents thought he was going to a friend’s house. He actually attended an illegal rave and later died after taking MDMA. That fateful evening is told through the words of his school friends and family in a fastpaced, tragic, vibrant piece of verbatim theatre. I Love You, Mum – I Promise I Won’t Die was commissioned by the charity set up in Daniel’s memory to raise awareness about the danger of party drugs.

Dylan Thomas
Adapted for the stage by Gbolahan Obisesan

Creative Shakespeare The Globe Education Guide to Practical Shakespeare

This book shares the many experiences of Shakespeare’s Globe Education team and their active approach to teaching students of all ages. The book provides practical ideas teachers can take and use for their own lessons.
Teaching Shakespeare with Purpose means freeing teachers from the notion that teaching Shakespeare means teaching everything, or teaching ‘Western Civilisation’ and universal themes. Instead, this invigorating new book equips teachers to enable student-centred discovery of these complex texts.

PRACTICAL DRAMA Script Analysis for Theatre Tools for Interpretation, Collaboration and Production
feb 2017
Robert Knopf “Script Analysis for Theatre provides excellent techniques developed over a lifetime of work with actors, directors, designers, in the classroom and on stage. The book is seasoned, smart and practical, equipping students with an essential toolbox for engaging with scripts.” Jim Volz, Professor of Theatre History at California State University at Fullerton, USA Script Analysis for Theatre equips theatre students and emerging theatre artists with a shared language to analyze play scripts, communicate about them, and collaborate with others on stage productions. It offers a practical approach, grounded in case studies of a range of the most studied plays. Based largely on concepts derived from Stanislavski’s system of acting and method acting, the book focuses on action - what characters do to each other in specific circumstances, times, and places - as the engine of every play. Readers will develop the real-life skills professional theatre artists use to design, rehearse, and produce plays. PB | 9781408184301 | £27.99

Towards A Poor Theatre
Thoughts on Acting and Theatre
Jerzy Grotowski
Peter Brook
Edited by Eugenio Barba
Peter Brook is the most consistently innovative director in Western theatre. In these three essays he returns to the concept of his first book The Empty Space and examines what that means for the life of a production.
Jerzy Grotowski created the Theatre Laboratory in 1959 in Opole in south-west Poland. His work since then, with a small permanent company, has become a source of interest to many modern directors. This is a record of the ideas that have motivated the work of the Theatre Laboratory.
