The Ratz

Front Cover
Collins Educational, 1991 - Drama - 92 pages

The Ratz is based on the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, but places the same dilemmas in a more contemporary context.

Through role-play and the suggested improvisations, the actors develop the characters and the action of every scene in the play.

Script and extension materials can be used as a lead-in to workshops in drama

Ideas and scenes are built into the text so that workshops and groups can work towards a production of the play
