This collection of eleven short plays for primary school-aged children to perform includes traditional stories like ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ and ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ to new stories like ‘Books and Crooks’ and ‘Birthday Surprise’ as well as the dramatisation of the story of Persephone. Each play is infused with humour and fun as well as gently talking about issues like justice and fairness that children will understand.
