Dark River by Alexa Romanes

Alexa Romanes' play for young people traces the fortunes of the poorest of the human chain in Victorian London, from the mudlarks who scour the Thames mud for a pittance, to the crossing sweepers, costers and pickpockets. Into their midst comes a mysterious stranger, Sal, a maid-of-all-work from the country who is running from her Rotherhithe employer. The unsentimental yet sensitive treatment of its large cast of well-drawn characters and its flexible casting opportunities make this a great choice for schools and youth groups. The age-range is 11-16 for speaking parts, with numerous extra-opportunities for younger children. The songs, traditional and orginal, and dance routine can be performed by all the cast. The music is available separately.
