Plays For Young Audiences By Max Bush

An anthology of selected plays for young audiences edited by Roger Ellis. Many consider Max Bush to be the fountainhead of the renaissance in playwriting for young audiences. His sensitivity to current themes and the modern idiom infuses a contemporary appeal into all of his works. The ten full-length plays in this book are adaptations of classics, heroic fantasy adventures and dramas dealing with social and psychological issues for youngsters. All of the plays included have been successfully produced by community, educational and professional theatre companies. Many of the plays have the prestige of regional and national awards.
