Drama Menu is the revolutionary, hugely popular concept that has transformed the planning and delivery of drama classes for teachers and workshop leaders around the world. Choose an Appetizer or two, a Starter, a Main Course and a Dessert—and voilà!—you’ll have a delicious, dramatic banquet for your students.

This new collection, Drama Menu at a Distance—created specifically to help anyone teaching drama during the COVID-19 pandemic—brings you 80 games and exercises, all of which are safe and secure to play in this new era of socially distanced teaching and online learning.

It offers dynamic, brand-new exercises to energize, excite and inspire your group, alongside some firm favorites, redesigned to be played within the necessary constraints. Also included is an introduction by the author, with advice and suggestions to support you in delivering your session.

Drama Menu at a Distance is the essential recipe book you need to eliminate the challenges of planning lessons and workshops in the “new normal,” and leave you with more time for playing. Stay safe—and bon appétit!

160 all-new games and exercises from the author of the bestselling companion for drama teachers and workshop leaders, offering more than one million unique and tasty combinations, ready to be put into action!

Simply make a selection from each of the four complementary courses, and your whole drama session will come to life with clarity, intensity and focus:

Appetizers are fast-paced warm-up exercises to energize and enthuse;

Starters are the intermediary course to challenge and kickstart creativity;

Main Courses provide the central part of the session, culminating in a final performance piece;

Desserts are there for when you have space at the end of your session for something sweet.

Every exercise has been devised, tested and selected for its ability to ignite creativity and develop the performing potential of each player. There's also a downloadable Resource Pack (available below) stuffed with a huge range of new stimuli to engage your students and encourage deeper participation.
