A new concept at Playstage YA. To reinforce your STEM curriculum, our writers have produced some interesting short plays on different aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, making heavy use of visuals for either computerised projection or to download and hand out to small groups. The plays are re-enactments of the development of key areas of Science and Technology and are written in a fun and informative style. The plays can either be performed within class, as a way of covering a key topic, or used to perform in front of year groups, the rest of the school or parents. Excellent for Open Days and Summer School projects. We intend to add to this category continuously. You will also see that we have some presentations/plays about aspects of British History. We intend to add to these, also, including topics from World History.
All of our presentations are downloadable only, we do not post paper copies to you. Buying a presentation couldn’t be easier, simply click ‘add to cart’, complete the checkout form and pay.
