Excuse Me!: Outrageous Plays for Secondary Students (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923215580)

This engaging collection features five thought-provoking plays designed specifically for classroom performance. Written by acclaimed Australian author Hazel Edwards, the plays tackle contemporary themes including technology, life choices, media influence, bureaucracy and time management, while being perfectly crafted to fit within a standard forty-minute lesson.

More than just entertainment, these plays serve as powerful teaching tools, combining literacy development with active learning and social skills. Whether exploring technological change in 'The Not-So-Great Excuse Machine', grappling with life's big decisions in 'Everyperson', satirising modern media in 'The Fairly Fake TV Show', unravelling mysteries in 'The Mt Paperwork Whodunnit', or diving into reader's theatre with 'The Minutes of Time', these plays promise engaging experiences that spark meaningful classroom discussions.
