A first-of-its-kind anthology, Beyond The Canon's Plays for Young
Activists combines plays, toolkits, and an online guide to empower
young people into activism.
With award-winning plays from the UK's most revolutionary female writers
of colour, as well as bespoke multimedia learning guides, this
collection offers young global activists aged 16+, as well as teachers
and creatives at any level, the opportunity to diversify their education
and enhance their understanding of politically driven plays, world
politics and social justice.
Unique in how it amplifies these selected award-winning plays by
incorporating learning guides that accommodate different learning styles
(be they visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinaesthetic), Beyond
The Canon dares readers to take a deeper dive into the world of the
play, be inspired by the themes and provocations and use the anthology
to evolve into the ultimate activist.
The plays include:
Muhammad Ali and Me by Mojisola Adebayo
A Museum in Baghdad by Hannah Khalil
Acceptance by Amy Ng
With resources like top tips on creating a safe space, practical drama
challenges and games, interviews with the writers, research guides and
activism test sheets, Beyond The Canon's Plays for Young Activists
will spark the imagination of any and all readers, likely inspiring the
next Mojisola Adebayo, Hannah Khalil and Amy Ng.
