Urban Girl's Guide to Camping and other plays (NHB Modern Plays)

Tender, uncompromising, haunting and lyrical, these four plays together comprise a contemporary chronicle of the lives of East London's young women. The plays in this volume are: The Urban Girl's Guide to Camping (Southwark Playhouse, 2010)Mehndi Night (Venue 45, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 2007)Stolen Secrets (Venue 45, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 2008)The Unravelling (Venue 45, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 2009) These plays are the result of a unique four-year partnership between award-winning playwright Fin Kennedy and Mulberry School in East London. Originally performed by the school at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at Southwark Playhouse, London, they are written in an ensemble storytelling style that will suit younger performance groups around the country, especially those looking for predominantly female roles. 'To say Fin Kennedy and Mulberry School for Girls are one of the best writer/education partnerships there is doesn't do them justice. To say they're one of the best companies at the Fringe comes closer' - Scotsman
