Plays for Schools is a series of playscripts meant to foster a love for reading and performing plays at school. The plays are chosen from among the well-loved stories of all times—from mythology and biography to modern fiction. Written in modern English with clear stage directions and useful notes, the playscripts lend themselves to reading aloud and enactment. They are graded, both in terms of theme and language, for children between five and fifteen years of age.

The Story of Persephone is based on the Greek myth, which is about the birth of the seasons on earth. With rich details, the story evokes the fierce capture of Persephone, the grief and despair of her mother Demeter and how these events bring forth the seasons of the earth.

Special Features: 

Carefully graded for children across all board patterns, with

  • a rich introduction which gives a background to the play.
  • a well-defined dramatis personae section to allow easy character identification.
  • an on-page glossary that does not impede the joy of reading aloud or enactment.
  • rich illustrations which guide the use of costumes and stage settings.
  • some suggestions for on-stage adaptations.
Una Nibuaidh, the author earned degrees from both the Universities of London and Paris. She has since then worked extensively in Paris and New York and has a keen interest in theatre as well.
