Faber & Faber

Two Plays for Young People: Philip Ridley

Synopsis:

This book contains two wonderful plays for young people by award-winning playwright, screenwriter and novelist Philip Ridley. In Fairytaleheart, two fifteen-year-olds confront their loneliness by exploring the language of theatre itself in a derelict community centre. In Sparkleshark, a young boy on top of a council estate tower block uses storytelling like a modern Scheherazade to stop a gang beating him up.
