En scène! - Short plays for learners of French

play lets

What better way to learn to speak French with confidence, than by performing short plays with fellow students?

Our humorous playlets are in well-written, intermediate level French. They vary from 2 to 5 in the number of players required. Choose how you do them: from a simple reading of parts around a table to a rehearsed performance. They can even be read and enjoyed in their own right as humorous dialogues.

Each playlet comes in a colourful folder containing a printed script for each player, a set of advisory notes for the teacher/leader, and a complete English translation of text. Delivery is free.
