Choose this script if you have several strong students keen for speaking roles and a creative group of young people that want to explore staging and transitioning between multiple locations. The play introduces them to a world in the not too distant future and really gets them thinking about the choices they make about food.

The dialogue is very naturalistic and dramatic in terms of the way it builds and there are a lot of lines for the two main male roles. There is also the opportunity for the students to provide their own live sound to compliment the piece. Play in a Week is a popular choice for groups and schools who have a theme week, or a special celebration, as the play can be on any topic you choose. Choose this script if you have ‘strong’ actors that can carry the play and a group of creative students who would benefit from working as an ensemble to present a piece of theatre. The play explores undernutrition and over-nutrition and contains a lot of information to spark discussion and split opinion. These sections are about telling the story with the pictures we make on stage, rather than the words we say, and for both primary and secondary age groups it’s an ideal way to get ideas across, whilst keeping the audience’s attention.
