Two Plays for Young People

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.
