Multiplay Drama

Multiplay Drama is an exciting series of large-cast plays, specifically written to be performed by and appeal to young people.

Commissioned by some of the UK's leading youth theatres and drama schools, and written by a mix of established writers and distinctive new voices, these plays have been selected not just for their quality, but also for the wealth and number of roles they offer to younger actors, as well as their bold, ambitious storytelling.

The plays have received dozens of productions by schools, universities, youth theatres and other groups around the world, and both seasons of Multiplay Drama were shortlisted for Music & Drama Education Awards.

'An exhilarating series… producing any of the plays promises a wonderful experience for young people, and the vast range ensures there's something for everyone' Drama & Theatre Magazine
