The Greeks on stage : 25 plays from Greek mythology

See all formats and editions

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.
