Twelve Angry Pigs – Free 10 Minute Play
Hey everyone — I am very happy to see that a lot of readers are downloading my latest play — “Tomorrow’s Wish.” (The print version is unfortunately a bit pricey at $10 — but remember there’s a very reasonable $3 download available.)
Personally, I think “Tomorrow’s Wish” is a terrific script for teen performers. But for anyone looking for a completely free children’s play, for kids from 8 to 12, you can check out my royalty-free ten minute play: Twelve Angry Pigs. That’s right, it’s a spoof of 12 Angry Men.
I published it at my Plays & Drama GuideSite a few months ago, and I am pleased that it has already popped up on stages and in schools around the world.
Here’s what I’ve found on Google so far:
I believe a private school in Dallas, (”Life School”) was the first one to perform the play.
A middle school in El Paso also performed a “reader’s theater” version of the play. Check out there link and click on the image — I think you’ll be pleased with the students’ pig snouts.
And here’s my favorite: an American teacher in Russia presented the first international production of the play. Apparently, many of the cultural references were lost upon the young Russians. But I guess the kids loved oinking. Read the teacher’s blog here. (The 12 Angry Pigs section is towards the end.)
