Congratulations to the writer for putting together terrific pieces of theatre for young people. I liked the simplicity of the setting and staging requirements, making it a practical piece for groups to do without the worry of complicated instructions. The subject matter for all three pieces is powerful and provoking
l really liked the final play "Park Bench" because it was particularly relevant to the age range, it was fast moving and included lots of movement and changes in direction and more opportunities for each person to have a significant block of performance time. I liked the length of each of the pieces. I like the drama suggestions at the end of each section
