Synopsis

Ivan, Sophie, Tanya and Nicholas are determined to thwart their parents' plans to put their grandmother into a home. Ivan's scheme backfires, however, when he ends up having to look after his grandmother single-handed. This tightly constructed plot revolves around a family drama with a difference. The playscript itself may either be read in class or acted out in drama lessons. The follow-up material explores the 'generation gap' and the issue of old age from many angles, using a wide range of resources and extracts. Students are encouraged to examine stereotyped views of the aged and to think about what it's like being old in society today. Numerous suggestions for improvisation, creative writing, discussion and role play are included. Readership age: 9+.
