Collins National Theatre Plays - Scary Play
10 year old Kal and his mates (Mal, Ro, Tilly, Jaz and Boff) are having a sleep-over round Kal's to celebrate his birthday. As the night draws in, the kids indulge in an age old pastime. Scaring the living daylights out of each other.Kal tells the story of a local house, said to be haunted by the ghost of a man who once lived there with his ageing mother and his pet monkey. As a boy, Kal's Dad and his mates snuck into the very same house, only to come screaming out again when they found something absolutely terrifying in the upstairs bedroom. Kal challenges his friends to do the same, and with varying degrees of reluctance, they disappear into the night. Meanwhile, Kal's much put upon 8 year old sister, Lou, has been listening at the door. Despite the fact that Kal told her it was his sleep-over and babies weren't allowed to take part, Lou sneaks after the gang. Scary Play follows the ten year olds (and Lou) as they creep into the haunted house and each faces up to their own unique fear.

Ruckus in the Garden
Ruckus in the Garden is a very funny look at the pressures of being a teenager in school today. The play is accompanied by teaching materials containing fantastic ideas for drama work, as well as other activities designed to answer English Framework and NC objectives. When Riverdale Comprehensive and St Nectan's Grant Maintained find themselves in the garden of Cecil Fortescue on a school trip, a ruckus is inevitable. It's customary that when these two schools meet , violence ensues; and many of the pupils are relishing the opportunity of a scrap. However magic and mystery wait amongst the topiary in the form of Cupid who brings about transformations and confusions, both romantic and hilarious. With a modern and accessible nod towards A Midsummer Night's Dream, this play is a fast-paced, thoughtful and very entertaining look at the trials of being fifteen.
Three Days in the Country
A handsome new tutor brings reckless, romantic desire to an eccentric household. Over three days one summer the young and the old will learn lessons in love: first love and forbidden love, maternal love and platonic love, ridiculous love and last love. The love left unsaid and the love which must out. Ivan Turgenev's passionate, moving comedy, A Month in the Country, has been a source of inspiration for films, a ballet and the plays of Chekhov. Patrick Marber's Three Days in the Country premiered at the National Theatre, London, in June 2015 in association with Sonia Friedman Productions.
Rockets and Blue Lights (National Theatre Edition)
The Alfred Fagon Award-winning play that retells British history through the prism of the slave trade.
King Lear
Is King Lear an autonomous text, or a rewrite of the earlier and anonymous play King Leir? Should we refer to Shakespeare’s original quarto when discussing the play, the revised folio text, or the popular composite version, stitched together by Alexander Pope in 1725? What of its stage variations? When turning from page to stage, the critical view on King Lear is skewed by the fact that for almost half of the four hundred years the play has been performed, audiences preferred Naham Tate's optimistic adaptation, in which Lear and Cordelia live happily ever after. When discussing King Lear, the question of what comprises ‘the play’ is both complex and fragmentary. These issues of identit...
Nine Night
When Gloria passes away, it falls to her British-born children to host the traditional Jamaican Nine Night celebration. Family and friends, familiar and unfamiliar, arrive to celebrate the life of the woman who connects them all and deal with unfinished business along the way. Nine Night is at once moving and raucously funny. Gordon paints the rituals of grief, the tensions of family and the complexities of identity with an acute eye and razor-sharp wit.
