Riassunto

Greek myths are high priority in schools and Geraldine McCaughrean¿s brilliant idea of turning them into short plays for children to perform should be a winner. These twenty-five favourites include King Midas, Perseus and Andromeda, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Theseus and the Minotaur. They can be performed singly or several in one performance, for which a dramatic framework has been supplied. They are easy to stage, with casts that can be expanded or contracted, and there are notes and suggestions for simple props and costumes. Enhanced by Richard Brassey's line drawings, these plays are as much fun to read as they are to perform.

Recensione:

"Dramatising twenty-five myths for children seems from these versions a very good idea. McCaughrean knows so well how to tell a good story and how to retell a good old story for today's young people.... The scripts are well-planned with helpful guidance about staging...This is a book that many groups of children will have a lot of fun using." (Books for Keeps)
