Artistic Discoveries in European Schoolyards

Data Base Foreword

Developing new play scripts for young audiences was central to the work of PLATFORM 11+.

Between 2009 and 2013, 50 new plays for 11-15 year olds were written and mainly produced by the European Theatre partners. The database presents all these new scripts and their authors. Also incorporated in the database are plays, which were written during the Ibero-American project “Schoolyard Stories”.

You will mainly find plays, which stay true to the spirit and motto of PLATFORM 11+, “Artistic Discoveries in European Schoolyards”. The content of all these plays is based on research conducted in the targeted age group. Users of the database can access information about the new repertoire thanks to the different search functions (topic, summary, age, cast, author, translated languages etc.) For those who want to read the whole play, there are links to the owners of the copyright, from whom they can order the plays. We would be grateful for any feedback about the structure and function of the database.
