Data Base Foreword
Developing new play scripts for young audiences is central to the work of Platform11+.
Between 2009 and 2013, approximately 30 new plays for 11-15 year olds will be produced by the 13 European Theatre partners. The data base will present all these new scripts and their authors.
Also incorporated in the data base, are plays which were written during the Ibero-American project “Schoolyard Stories” in 2009/2010.
Furthermore, the data base will be complemented by plays from European authors who have the recommendation of the partner theatres and who also aim their plays at the Platform 11+ target group, the 11-15 year olds.
You will mainly find plays which stay true to the spirit and motto of Platform 11+, “Artistic Discoveries in European Schoolyards”. The content of all these plays is based on research conducted in the targeted age group.
Users of the data base can access information about the new repertoire thanks to the different search functions (topic, summary, age, cast, author, translated languages etc.)
For those who want to read the whole play, there are links to the owners of the copyright, from whom they can order the plays.
We would be grateful for any feedback about the structure and function of the data base.
