Modern Plays Methuen Drama’s Modern Plays series is world-famous for containing the work of many of the finest contemporary playwrights. Established in 1959 with the publication of Shelagh Delaney’s A Taste of Honey, the series is synonymous with the very best in new writing for the stage. Today it features over 500 titles and continues to grow alongside the staging of new work. Below is a small selection of some of our newest published plays that appeal to students at different levels for study and performance.
The Kids Are Alt Right
NEW
Does My Bomb Look Big In This?
NEW
Martin Travers
Nyla Levy
This is an unflinching exploration of how young people today are prey to a range of extreme ideologies and how helpless people in their real lives are to stop them imploding. It is a cautionary tale of how social media and YouTube content can lead to actions and consequences that can never be undone.
After being cast in roles as a 'jihadi bride' or 'terrorist girlfriend' and generally dissatisfied with the narrative being told, Nyla Levy’s fierce wit and disarming honesty in Does My Bomb Look Big in This? cleverly unveils a human story behind the headlines and questions how close or far we are from multicultural harmony.
“Nyla Levy’s play about London school friends divided when one goes to Syria, is savvy, streetwise and energetic.” – The Guardian
PB | 9781350140523 | £10.99 | Cast: 10 Q and A with Martin Travers
Khaled Hosseini Adapted by Matthew Spangler
Mark Haddon Adapted by Simon Stephens
Afghanistan on the verge of war: childhood friends Hassan and Amir can’t foresee the terrible incident which will shatter their lives forever.
He has an extraordinary brain, but Christopher is ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. His investigation into the death of his neighbour’s dog turns his world upside-down.
PB | 9781350033221 £10.99 | Cast: 18
In these two complementary new plays, Sarah Milton offers up two strong female led narratives with dynamic, complex characters.
James Graham
Zoe Cooper
Alex Oates
Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham forges a uniquely crowd-sourced play, incorporating scenes by emerging writers into his own sweeping narrative.
A tender new play about gender, wild swimming, and how we define who we are.
Inspired by his experiences working as a carer for over a decade, Alex Oates' new play is a kitchen sink comedy-drama filled with heart… and French Fancies.

Hannah Khalil
Sabrina Mahfouz
solo piece that takes the experience of being shy as its central subject – something which has rarely been explored in drama, and yet which touches on many.
A story of treasured history, desperate choices and the remarkable Gertrude Bell. This edition of Hannah Khalil's new play was published to coincide with the world premiere at the RSC's The Other Place in 2019.
This play journeys across 12 different countries using theatre, poetry and music to share stories of women across the region.

“An ambitious book which will surely become a classroom staple.”
– Scotsman on Junction 25 Much of the theatre we make starts with a script and a story given to us by someone else. But what happens when we're required to start from scratch? How do we begin to make theatre using our own ideas, our own perspective, our own stories?

Both an engaging and rewarding activity for young people, playwriting is still under-utilised in the classroom. This is an essential resource for teachers wanting to gain the skills and confidence necessary to introduce playwriting to their students. PB | 9781474288019 | £24.99

Clive Barker
“This book is ideal for pieces for verse, speech and drama competitions, but children will have fun just performing these to each other in school or at home... Highly recommended.”
Theatre is at its best when it argues back to society, becoming disturbing, even life changing. Presenting a rounded picture of the possibilities of a ‘disobedient’ culture, with exercises for creative practitioners, this book illustrates how these principles may work in practice, with hands-on approaches to assist in generating material.
Clive Barker trained actors at Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop, developing his ‘theatre games’ system over 20 years. This classic book combines his philosophy and approach to games, describes how to play them and the acting skills they develop. Includes a DVD of Barker teaching, plus material from Clive himself.
