Break a Leg
Author: Christine Harris
Illustrator: -
ISBN: 1 875659 17 X
Publisher: Australian Association for the Teaching of English 2001.
The six short plays in 'Break a Leg' are based on Christine Harris's acclaimed adolescent fiction. While the central themes of these plays are essentially timeless, the strange, funny and thought-provoking plot twists will make the plays just as exciting to watch as they are fun to act. Students will relate to the characters because they are the people they encounter in their own lives: parents, older teens, friends or foes.
'Break a Leg' introduces students to the experience of group work, and how to work in a team to produce a memorable piece of theatre. Students will explore their own talents by learning about drama, directing and playwriting. Experimentation is encouraged through the discussion of alternate plot endings, dialogue and theatrical directions. Try consulting Harris's original short stories not only for inspiration about characters and storylines, but also to see how one genre of literature translates into another.
