Synopsis

Play Time is a collection of eleven short plays by Julia Donaldson, designed for primary school children (Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2). The plays range from adaptations of traditional tales, such as the legend of Persephone and The Three Billy Goats Gruff, to original contemporary stories. Each play includes guidance on target age, running time, and cast, making it easy for teachers and students to bring these stories to life in the classroom.
