Description

This is a wonderful adaptation of Bernard Ashley's critically acclaimed novel of the same name, which was short listed for the Carnegie and the Guardian Fiction Awards.

Kaninda is an ex-child soldier from East Africa, orphaned and living in London.

When a child from a nearby estate is hit by a car, he is drawn into an inter-estate conflict.

The story combines current conflicts in London with real war in Africa.

Little Soldier is a gritty and gripping play with a fast-moving, exciting plot which will hook boys.

The play can be used to explore: * different cultures (set in Africa in London) * urban gang culture and moral questions * literary and dramatic techniques and devices.
