An abridged script of Shakespeare’s Macbeth for a 1 hour student performance. Excellent for supporting study of Macbeth for GCSE English. Maintains Shakespeare’s original language, rhythm/meter and all key scenes and characters. Pages, scenes and lines numbered for ease of reference and rehearsal. I directed a cast of students all the way from year 7-13 (ages 11-18), with SEN and MAGT/GAMA, performing this in one hour, including movement/dance sequencesfor ensemble and it was very successful and well received by students, parents, staff and governors.

A script for 2 performers in which old acquaintences meet and endure an uncomfortable conversation - BUT, the audience hear their thoughts, rather than their words. An excellent exercise in vocal tone for Drama or English students and a humorous performance for a school gala or concert. Two versions included: one 'Christmas Shopping" for seasonal concert/show, and the original version which is not season specific. Clean language an humour appropriate to school setting. If you enjoy, please leave a review!

A Christmas comedy duologue for assembly, concert, or drama students. Two characters offer a literal and ‘honest’ reading of a family Christmas letter. Clean enough for school setting and a great opportunity for two performers to hone their comic timing and vocal tone without too much need for movement or props/costume/resources.
