Product Description
A collection of three plays for young actors written by Mark Ravenhill—Citizenship, Scenes from Family Life, and Totally Over You—each with an introduction by the author. Originally commissioned as part of the National Theatre’s Connections program, these three plays were specifically written for teenagers and are ideal for young performers aged thirteen to twenty-five years old.
Written with greater warmth and humanity than you might expect from the author of notably controversial works, Ravenhill’s plays for teenagers are compassionate, intelligent, and not at all patronizing.
With themes of particular interest to teenagers—self-perception, relationships, sexual identity, and obsession with fame—the plays explore the search for identity during the transition to adulthood.
Citizenship, a bittersweet comedy about growing up, follows schoolboy Tom in his frank and messy search to discover his sexual identity: he dreams of being kissed, but is unsure whether it is by a man or woman.
Scenes from Family Life is set in a world where everyone starts to dematerialize. After six months, Jack and Stacy are the only boy and girl on the planet. For Jack it’s a dream, for Stacy a nightmare. And when the vanished start to return, Jack has to learn how complex adult relationships are.
Totally Over You is an exploration of celebrity-obsession in which four girls break up with their boyfriends when they decide they only want to see celebrities. The boys decide to trick the girls into thinking that they are on the brink of fame and fortune as a boy band. The girls decide to win the boys back, but what will happen when they discover the truth?
