The Play That Rewrites Itself — Transition Year School Play Annual Performance Licence

A structured, inventive ensemble play written for Transition Year, exploring creativity, collaboration, and decision-making through a playful meta-theatrical framework. As a class begins rehearsing a play that refuses to stay the same, scenes, stage directions, and even deleted characters intervene, forcing students to negotiate structure, authorship, and control together.

The play prioritises shared problem-solving, ensemble participation, and creative thinking, without emotional pressure or individual spotlighting. Roles are flexible and expandable, allowing students to participate through group narration, movement-based roles, commentary, negotiation scenes, or observation within a clear, teacher-led structure.
