Arts On The Move play ‘A Suitably Happy Ending’ – review from Amazon
‘As a year 6 teacher I found this an excellent resource to use for our end of year production. The script is well written, easy for the children to use yet with lots of funny lines - for both the kids and the adults to enjoy. The plot is based on a traditional tale, yet with the added twist of Jack failing his SATs tests. This causes great shame to his family and he is banished to the large and spooky forest where he encounters goblins, witches and a royal palace! There are several main characters as well as the general cast (we used a class of 25 children).
I would certainly recommend this for use with children aged between 7 and 11.’
