This collection of scenes offers drama teachers a wide range of topics to explore through characterisation of the moment. There are scenes based on the historical past, these could be linked to cross-curricular activities. Those set in the present seek to draw young actors into a setting with which they can identify and emotionally explore. The author believes that young actors often wish to explore comedy. With this in mind, many of the scenes reflect comedic values. Some of these fun situations hold deeper resonances which the drama teacher would be able to explore with the actor. Each scene contains many different levels for the actor to identify with and emotionally develop. As the words are brought to life, the actor should imagine that they relate to a given set of circumstances; each scene is directly linked to the human situation. A young actor's motto should be: "I will live the words I learn."

Set in Edwardian England before the 1908 Old Age Pensions Act, this humorous play features an all-female cast that highlights class divisions. The story follows Sarah Dawkins and her mother, Gran Twigden, as they cleverly navigate the challenges posed by the local gentry, whose paternalistic yet patronizing demeanor adds to the tension. Through their engaging struggle, the audience is drawn into a socially realistic narrative that balances entertainment with insightful commentary on class dynamics.

A modern stage play, perfect for schools and colleges wanting to engage students with the issue of war.
