Author: Habjan, Linda
Price: $21.95

This anthology was commissioned in response to the growing epidemic of bullying and the all-too-often tragic results. The anthology includes 24 10-minute plays that may be performed in any combination or length and in a variety of venues. The plays are touching, imaginative, powerful, uplifting and funny.

A botched chemistry experiment creates a horde of homophobic teenage zombie bullies. A teenager poignantly relates to his dad how a bullied classmate resorted to physical violence. Three dinosaurs at a museum surprise three bickering kids on a school outing. A bully is forced to confront his victim \"on the other side.\" A boy confronts a beast in ancient Greece who provides him with a different perspective on who's the beast. A girl on the anti-bullying crusade must face her own bullying. High-school kids discuss the heartbreak of realizing they contributed to a classmate's death by remaining bystanders. A mother and brother try to come to terms with the suicide of their \"technicolor\" son and brother.

The trickle-down effect of bullying is explored in several plays, along with the dangers of cyberbullying. The collection also includes a mimed piece and a play in rhymed verse. This collection of short plays will challenge, inspire and enlighten your audiences and help you confront the issue of bullying in a constructive and creative way.
