Description:
In this book of short plays for "young audiences" (nearly all for teenagers), editor Lowell Swortzell carefully chooses plays that treat many different cultures with respect--yet still make exciting dramatic experiences. Ossie Davis's Escape to Freedom deals with racial relations; Maggie Magalita observes a Latino household where English has been decreed for the children--creating a rift with the grandparents. It's hard to imagine most teen groups wanting to do (or see) some of these plays, but Y York's [sic] Afternoon of the Elves (about girls' cliques) and Wiley and the Hairy Man (an exuberantly enacted fable) are so vivid, you'll want to read passages aloud--and so will your kids.
