Dramascripts is an exciting series of plays especially chosen for students in the lower and middle years of secondary school. The titles range from the best in modern writing to adaptations of classic texts. They can be read or acted purely for the enjoyment and stimulation they provide. However, each play in the series also offers all the support that pupils need in working with the text.
