Oxford Playscripts: Bog Child by Adrian Flynn
An engaging classroom playscript. Digging for peat in the mountain with his Uncle Tally, Fergus finds something that makes his heart stop. Curled up deep in the bog is the body of a child. And it looks like she's been murdered. As Fergus tries to make sense of the mad world around him - his brother on hunger-strike in prison, his growing feelings for Cora, his mam and da arguing over the Troubles, and him in it up to the neck - a little voice comes to him in his dreams, and the mystery of the bog child unfurls...
The text includes useful support for classroom teachers providing appendices on background information and a range of helpful activities for both English and Drama lessons all referenced to Framework objectives and to the possibilities for self and peer assessmentEnjoyable, accessible and challenging, it is to be recommended on all fronts. * John Hickman, NATE Classroom *
