Plays for Children by Alice I. Hazeltine PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Plays for Children: An Annotated Index The principal feature of the index is the list of plays by title, with references to other versions of the same stories. NO attempt has been made to refer from the titles of all the fables and fairy tales nor to indicate the source of all the stories, but under the titles of books may be found references to scenes from them which have been dramatized. In general, narrative form and poetry are not included when material alone is preserved, as, for example, in volumes intended for oral as well as for dramatic reading. The list includes, however, narratives where suggestions or helps for dramatization are given, as well as dialogues intended not for action, but for reading. Selections from Shakespeare, and plays in foreign languages have been omitted. The annotation is intended to give a clue to the identification of the story more necessary, perhaps, with the simpler tales in the dramatic readers, since the play titles are frequently unlike those of the fairy tales and fables from which they are adapted. Additional help in finding certain stories may be found in Mary Huse Eastman's Index to fairy tales, myths and legends, which indicates variants of the same story. Often a quotation from the text suggests the character of the play. The number of characters is indicated, but it should be remembered that parts may often be doubled, and the number of boys and girls may vary accordingly. It has not seemed practicable to indicate the age of the children to whom each play is suited. The title of the book, the title of the play, the character of the annotation, the story iself, and sometimes the quotation given, often suggest this. Sometimes adults are needed. Some of the plays are best suited to older children. But as this is not a list for High School use, the Drama League List of plays for High School and College production should be consulted. Where the time required for production is given it has been found in the play itself, in the Drama League List of plays for children or in Miss Mackay's How to produce children's plays.
