Dramatics, apart from being an integral part of school curriculum, also creates an occasion for teachers and students to work together with a growing sense of excitement. The Selfish Hippo and Other Plays, with a rich selection of ten plays from all over the world, would be the perfect introduction to the joys of stagecraft.
Each play begins with a workshop session that introduces the country/culture/people to which the play belongs. Children are encouraged to read and discuss the play as a group before planning a performance. Detailed directions for set design, costumes and lighting guide students through every stage of production.
Within the reading text, meticulous instructions for performance, dialogue delivery and stage movement aid the students understanding the nuances of performance. The full page illustrations that open each play give the students a glimpse into the setting, people and the costumes in the play, thus helping them deliver authentic performances.
The play, ‘The Selfish Hippo’, as a sample radio play on the accompanying audio CD provides a model for voice modulation and performance. Music and background score for each play on the CD enhances the dynamics of performance.
This book of plays is designed to foster in students a lifelong passion for drama.
