No Big Drama is an exciting text for English teachers wishing to engage their students with drama. It presents ten never-before published one-act playscripts for junior secondary on a wide range of contemporary themes. The playscripts have useful links to components of English courses and student activities follow every script. An introduction succinctly explains the drama genre for the benefit of non-drama specialists and a themes matrix at the beginning will aid teacher planning and preparation.
