This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Example in this ebook THE STORY OF RACHEL. A Play in One Act. Characters: Captain William Carteret, R.N. (about 48). Rachel (his wife, 28). A maid—not a speaking part—who only brings in a letter. Rachel and Carteret sitting in their comfortable drawing room, Rachel in armchair R.C. near a table, cutting a book with a paper-knife. Carteret on small sofa, L.C., with a little table near him on which is an ash-tray. He is smoking, and reading the "Pall Mall Gazette." Rachel [continuing conversation as the curtain goes up]. Don't you agree with what I'm saying? I'm sure men are like that. Will, do you mean to say you don't agree? Carteret [absently, looking up and down columns of paper]. Yes, I daresay. Rachel. I know quite well what it means when a man says in that way [imitating his tone]—'Yes, I daresay,' and goes on reading. It means you're not thinking of what I'm saying—you're thinking of nothing but the paper. Carteret [still looking up and down the columns]. Well, there are very interesting things in the paper. Rachel. Of course there are. And it's still more interesting trying to guess which of them are true. But still it is rather boring that you should be reading the newspaper while I'm talking. Carteret. Oh? I thought you were talking while I was reading the newspaper. Rachel. That is a one-sided view, I must say. [Carteret smiles, shakes the ash off his cigarette, and goes on reading without speaking]. Rachel. It is a pity you don't enjoy my society, isn't it? Carteret [smiling]. A great pity. Rachel. Will, I suppose that you like me as I am? Carteret. Absolutely and entirely. Even when you talk unceasingly when I'm having a quiet read and smoke before dressing for dinner. Rachel. Anyhow, you'd have to be interrupted soon, because you must go up when the clock strikes, and see Mary in bed. Carteret [laughing happily]. Yes, the little monkey. I should never hear the end of it if I didn't. She's a tremendous tyrant, isn't she. Rachel. Yes. I wonder what she'll be like when she grows up. Carteret [smiling]. Like her mother, I daresay. Apt to talk when her husband's reading. Rachel. To-night I want to talk. Do listen, Will—just this once! [Carteret smiles and puts his paper down on his knee]. Carteret. Just this once, if you're sure it won't happen again. Rachel. I was thinking about what men are like, and what women are like. Carteret. You see, men don't want to be taking their souls to pieces perpetually as women do, to see what they're made of. Rachel. But it is so interesting to do it, even if one's afraid of what one finds there. Carteret. Afraid! Rachel. Oh, yes. There are times when I'm thinking of things, when I'm all over the place. I can't help it. Carteret. All over the place! Yes, that's quite true. You are. Rachel. Well, as I said, I've been thinking—and I see that in heaps of ways men and women are so different. Carteret. That's a very profound remark. Don't get beyond my depth, Rachel, pray. Rachel. Will, you horrid old thing! But I don't care for your laughing at me. I'll go on. Men are so simple—— Carteret. And women so complicated?… Rachel. Sometimes. Men take things and people for granted so much more than women do—sailors I do believe especially, are made like that. You take things for granted; you like everybody; you believe in everybody. Carteret. Well, my experience has shewn me that you come fewer croppers in life if you believe in people, than if you're suspicious of them. It may be an illusion, but that's my experience. Rachel. I wonder?… And there is another great difference. Women—so many women—are cowards; afraid, always afraid. Carteret. Afraid of what, you foolish creature? To be continue in this ebook

Book excerpt: An entertaining collection of new short plays specially commissioned for young people, this book is a great resource for schools, colleges and youth theatres. With contemporary themes and a wide variety of roles, this collection enables young people to engage with serious topics while enjoying all the fun of performance. Contents: LOL: LAUGHING OUT LOUD, CRYING INSIDE This is a play about bullying and bystanding – exploring the complex new world of cyber-bullying and internet trolling. 'With the tragic consequences of cyberbullying being seen regularly in the media it is important that students are educated about the impact of their actions and the law surrounding this crime... LOL is a script I will return to again and again.' -Year 10 teacher ROCKETFUEL A forum-theatre play about peer pressure, making responsible choices about drinking and looking after your friends. 'Every child in my class was so absorbed in the play. You seem to have really hit the message home to them. A fantastic starting point for the rest of the year’s PSHE curriculum.' - Year 8 Teacher THREE SHOES A play which explores children working on stage and screen in the past and present, taking in the backstage life of a choirboy at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, a pantomime babe in Victorian England, and a pair of young film stars in the glare of the media today. NOAH A colossal storm is brewing and the great flood is coming. Yet only one man and his family are doing anything to prepare. The rain starts to fall, the Ark’s doors close and an extraordinary journey must begin. 'a terrific re-imagining of the biblical story. Rachel Barnett’s writing is immediate, intelligent, bold, quirky, consistently surprising and compelling for young people.' -Youth Theatre Director, Chichester Festival Theatre Reviews: 'It’s never easy to find inclusive, meaty plays suitable for youth theatres or schools so this contribution from well-established children’s playwright Rachel Barnett is very welcome. Rocketfuel is a nicely balanced piece about risk taking and boundaries commissioned for gap year students to perform in secondary schools.' - Susan Elkin, The Stage 'Rachel Barnett’s excellent play texts give voice to the concerns of young people, exploring options for dealing with the pressures of teenage life. Her production of Noah, which was performed by our Youth Theatre in 2012, was a gem of a show and makes you wonder why schools are still performing musicals and pantos when there is new writing of this standard out there.' - Jonathan Church, former Artistic Director, Chichester Festival Theatre About the Author Rachel's plays have been performed in the UK and internationally, including in London at the Hampstead Theatre, the Royal Court, the Arcola Theatre, and Polka Theatre, also at Chichester Festival Theatre, the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone, Manhattan Theatre Source in New York, Live Girls in Seattle, and Auroville in India. She has a wide range of interests which inform her writing. Projects to date have included original work, adaptations, translations, theatre for young audiences, and dramaturgy of collaborative devised work. A sought-after workshop leader, Rachel shares her time between writing, producing, teaching and arts project management.

He brags about it to his old mother drinking the wine he stole from the family's basement. Galsworthy's works dealt with social class, upper-middle class lives in particular.
