Investigating how disabilities have been represented on stage in the past, this book discusses what may be inferred from plays which feature disabled characters through a variety of critical approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the theoretical analysis of disability in dramatic literature, the book includes two previously unpublished playscripts, both of which have been performed by secondary school aged students and which focus on issues of disability and its effects on others. The contextual notes and discussion which accompany these plays and projects provide insights into how drama can contribute to disability education, and how it can give a voice to students who have special educational needs themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther features of this wide-ranging text include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean annotated chronology that traces the history of plays that have featured disabled characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean analysis of how disability is used as a dramatic metaphor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econsideration of the ethics of dramatising a disabled character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecritical accounts of units of work in mainstream school seeking to raise disability awareness through engagement with practical drama and dramatic texts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea description and evaluation of a drama project in a special school.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn tackling questions and issues that have not, hitherto, been well covered, \u003cem\u003eDrama, Disability and Education \u003c\/em\u003ewill be of enormous interest to drama students, teachers, researchers and pedagogues who work with disabled people or are concerned with raising awareness and understanding of disability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55002214236504,"sku":"9780415675031","price":179.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415675031_94a3b652-636d-493e-9a38-bd6b4c5ef10f.jpg?v=1771486258","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/drama-disability-and-education","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
