"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-8-- Following the course of the school year, these plays provide material for major and minor events. Flat characters, larger-than-life historic figures, and colloquial dialogue (however, " . . . blew me away" is inappropriate in a Civil War piece) make them readily accessible to young performers. The production notes are not particularly helpful, and some props--a working coffin, an antique tube--may be difficult to obtain. Although single-parent families are depicted, there is a stereotyping of sex roles, and it is disconcerting to meet Irish servants. Two plays for Black History Month, one about Martin Luther King Jr., give this title an advantage over Sechrist's New Plays for Red Letter Days (McCrae Smith, 1953; o.p.). Miller's Plays for Living and Learning (1955) covers additional topics besides holidays; Bennett's Creative Plays and Programs (1966, both Plays, Inc.; o.p.) features poems, choral readings, and a larger selection. --Meryl Silverstein, American Museum of Natural History, New York City
