The demand for new drama literature for Key Stages 3 and 4 is met by these original scripts and adaptations of popular children's fiction. The curriculum requirements for studying genuine dramatic literature will be achieved by studying these accessible theatre scripts. The plays can be successfully performed by pupils as they have already been performed in public to popular acclaim. The sophisticated themes and complex plots have been specifically designed to appeal to 11-16 year olds, and have a language level accessible to all pupils. These dramatic adaptations of popular texts allow pupils to respond to the subject matter from a new angle.
