Guidelines to Producers
Setting the Scene
I have deliberately avoided being proscriptive when setting the scenes to ‘The Douglas Dragon Play’, preferring to leave to the Producer of the play, the decision of which creative means and method best achieves their desired result.
An appendix to this publication is included by Stuart Merry, former head teacher, identifying how ‘Physical Theatre’ can be appropriately used in the enactment of this play. Physical Theatre is an ideal medium to include participant players who, for a variety of reasons, prefer a part that doesn’t involve public speech. I have also included some ‘Anger Management Steps’, which may be used as an elementary guide in the construction of an Anger Management Programme, independent from the play.
‘The Douglas Dragon Musical Play’, is free for all to download to read or dramatise. All rights remain reserved, and parts of this book may be reproduced for the purpose of facilitating the dramatisation of the play ‘only.’ With that single exception, no part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means (electronic or mechanical), including photo-copying, recording or by any other information storage and retrieval system, without the permission of William Forde in writing who can be contacted on www.fordefables.co.uk
