"Performance Plays" is a series of photocopiable books that shows teachers how to prepare, rehearse, direct and perform short plays with their class or year group. The plays, usually one act, derive from a variety of sources and drama forms. "The Big Ship Sails" is an emotional play looking at the British child migration in the 1940s and 1950s. Through exploring the effects of this policy on those involved, the play gives children opportunities to investigate actual events of recent British history.
