Plays for Schools is a series of playscripts meant to foster a love for reading and performing plays at school. The plays are chosen from among the well-loved stories of all times—from mythology and biography to modern fiction. Written in modern English with clear stage directions and useful notes, the playscripts lend themselves to reading aloud and enactment. They are graded, both in terms of theme and language, for children between five and fifteen years of age.

Una Nibuaidh, the author earned degrees from both the Universities of London and Paris. She has since then worked extensively in Paris and New York and has a keen interest in theatre as well.
