Home Delivery
Fancy a little kitchen sink drama? A dining room farce? Or a sofa saga?
Well, you’re in luck! Home Delivery is a series of short, accessible play scripts that you can download, rehearse and perform in your homes! The scripts are designed to be child (and grown-up!) friendly, with clear stage directions to make the rehearsal process as enjoyable as possible.
Whether you see yourself as a budding performer or a brooding director, Home Delivery gives you the opportunity to play as a family!
We’d love to see what you come up with, so if you’re feeling proud of your tour de force productions, why not share them with us via social media? Tag us @WeAreRoustabout using the hashtag #TheatreHomeDelivery.
And if you’ve enjoyed performing these scripts at home why not share them with your school? Check out our Workshops, including our How To Tell A Story programme.
