A collection of short plays based on work between secondary school children and professional playwrights focusing on the journeys of immigrants to and from Europe.
Fin Kennedy is an award-winning UK playwright. He writes for adults and teenagers and his plays are regularly produced in the UK and around the world. He is also an acclaimed teacher of playwriting and community arts project manager, with a particular focus on young people's projects in London's East End. His second play How To Disappear Completely & Never Be Found won the 38th Arts Council John Whiting Playwrighting Award. It was subsequently commissioned by Sam West for Sheffield Crucible and produced to critical acclaim in 2007. It has since been produced in London, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, Melbourne, Auckland, and Portland, Oregon.
An excellent resource for teachers. The four plays in themselves
are short, zippy and dynamic, providing lots of flexibility for
small and large cohorts of students to perform whilst exploring
both microcosmic and macrocosmic issues related to the theme. In
addition, the inclusion of the exercises employed by the directors
and playwrights to devise the subject matter, is essential in
making this book a compact resource for creating schemes of work
around the topic of migration.
