I'm sure you've been there - wanting to concentrate on a talk about something really important, but finding your eyelids getting heavier… Before you know it you've done that embarrassing head-jerk back to attention, hoping that you didn't snore or dribble - even more embarrassing if you're the speaker!

Watching or performing a sketch is a completely different experience. The characters draw you into the story, make you laugh, think, disagree or question, and before you know it you've had international trade rules explained to you in a way that you can actually understand and you’ve had fun in the process!



Just acting contains:

• 15 sketches on global issues such as trade rules, water, HIV, debt, refugees and fair trade

• a variety of sketches for two to nine actors

• easy-to-perform sketches, none of which need lots of props or rehearsals

• sketches suitable for use in youth groups, schools, churches or even your front room

• information pages with facts, suggestions for how to use the sketches and action you can take in response.

Price: £7.99/€12.00. To order, call 08700 787 788 (UK) or 01 611 0801 (ROI) and quote P326.
