Description
This school dramatization of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel is presented in the form of a TV documentary involving key witnesses trying to get to the bottom of a strange case. The story is reconstructed and the audience is taken back to Victorian London. Resources following the playscript contain activities for drama including role-play, reading, writing, and speaking and listening. These are accompanied by extension material, including extracts from modern and contemporary works for comparison, and documentary material.
