Just Desserts: A Foodie Drama About a Chef Gone Bad

"These scripts will give students the opportunity to confidently practise language in a safe and structured setting where they can enjoy playing roles and bringing the story to life. ... they'll be having so much fun that they won't even realise that they are learning!"
—David Farmer, NILE training consultant, theatre director, and author, Learning Through Drama and 101 Drama Games and Activities

In Just Desserts, a baking competition pits an award-winning chef against a member of his own staff with a secret recipe from a faraway country.

As students read, practice, and perform these plays, they will learn:

The Short Plays for English Learners series makes it easy to bring drama into the classroom. These original plays were written to expose students to real-world language and authentic situations, while also engaging them in a real page-turner!

These scripts are short enough for a project in a speaking class, but expandable to fill a whole elective class, drama unit, or theater club production.
