This script was written to be performed at the end of the humanities unit, Britain since 1948. The story follows Catherine and Oliver, two pre-teens sent to spend their summer with their grandparents. Through Grandad’s stories, we see his experiences of keys event in each decade. There are two poems included in the script as well as 6 suggested songs. The whole performance takes about 40-50 minutes. There are 22 roles but I recommend that the characters of Annie and Michael are played by different characters to show them transition from children to adults. As I had a very large cast I also had different actors play the main characters in each scene. For continuity they just wore the same costume. As an option you can also have 3 actors act out the Beatle-Mania poem. I hope your class enjoys the performance!
