Position:Home>Performing Arts> Satire or Good Social Relevence PLay?Question: Satire or Good Social Relevence PLay?I am trying to find a play that fits into one of two catagories with an imperative umbrella. I want to do either a good solid satire (no slapstick) or something with solid social meaning for a high school production. The caveat is that it has to be able to hold up and appeal to a "footloose" type community. The sooner the better in terms of responses as I would like to have a couple of different options by the end of the week. I need a cast of around 15 or possibly up to 20. I have already looked into "Moon Over Buffalo" and other plays by that playwrite, but would like more options. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Have you read "Esu & The Vagabond Minstrels" by Femi Osofisan? He's a Nigerian author if I remember correctly. It deals with how a person defines themself in a shifting political climate. This play is staged at many Canadian universities and has always been a hit. It also involves a lot of audience participation which makes it special. |
