Excuse Me!

This engaging collection features three thought-provoking plays designed specifically for secondary school students. Written by acclaimed Australian author Hazel Edwards, the plays tackle contemporary themes including technology, life choices and media influence, while being perfectly crafted to fit within a standard classroom lesson.

More than just entertainment, these plays serve as powerful teaching tools, combining literacy development with active learning and social skills. Whether exploring technological change in 'The Not-So-Great Excuse Machine', grappling with life's big decisions in 'Everyperson', or examining media satire in 'The Fairley Fake TV Show', these plays promise engaging experiences that spark meaningful classroom discussions. Each play comes with a comprehensive range of activities and discussion prompts, allowing teachers to deepen student engagement, enhance critical thinking and extend the learning experience beyond the performance itself.
