Are you here for MYFest26? Welcome!
Here are two scripts we might read; we should be able to read both in one hour:
The Palace of Bird Beaks | The Two Pebbles
We'll also spend a little time during the workshop looking at these collections of folktales related to riddles; these "riddlling tales" could be great resources for writing your own plays.
Meanwhile, I've realized that this site has gotten very complicated. I'm going to try to simplify it! For now, you can find a list of the plays alphabetically below. Click on a link to go to the script of the play:
Click on the links below to access the scripts:
King Solomon and the Baker NEWLY REVISED. This is a world folktale, often associated with Nasruddin, but this script is based on a Jewish version of the story featuring King Solomon. 4 readers; appx. 15 minutes to read.
The Two Pebbles: NEW. This is a new script based on a folktale from Myanmar. (You might also know this story from its popularization by Edward de Bono in his "lateral thinking" books.) 5 readers; appx. 25 minutes to read.
This website is a repository for CC-BY licensed scripts for readers theater that come from the folktale traditions of the world. These scripts are free for you to copy, adapt, remix, rewrite, and transform based on your own inspiration; my only request is that you credit the source — Laura Gibbs at Scripts.LauraGibbs.net — so that others can find their way here too.
You can find out more about Readers Theater here: Open the Language Classroom Curtains to Readers Theater., and the article is embedded below.
Thank you for your interest, and if you have readers theater scripts that you would like to contribute to their project, let me know. You can reach me by email: laurakgibbs@gmail.com.
