This anthology contains three plays (Ceremonial Kisses; Shading the Crime; and The Maternal Cloister) that feature a protagonist who is compelled to confront his or her particular oppressors. The critique of this oppression through theatre falls on particular social institutions and differs for each character. The main institutions under scrutiny are religion and the state. The plays are very different in style and include the use of physical theatre; naturalistic explorations of human rights abuses; and symbolic structures; puppets and poetry. The plays are supported by an analysis of their processes and themes. All have reached production and the text is supplemented by photographs of these performances.

Kids are smarter; hipper; quicker; freer; tuned in; plugged in; grounded; airborne; imaginative; fanciful; and freer than ever. I mustrsquo;ve read a hundred childrens books a hundred times to my kids when they were growing up and today theyrsquo;re multi-taskers who play a variety of instruments; write and perform their own music; create computer programs and poetry and art; commune with nature; are tolerant; kind; outward focused and generous; and better equipped than I to cope with the present and the onrushing future. I showed them ldquo;What is Punk?rdquo; and they connected with it instantly. Art and poetry and music! In one bright and righteous little book! Its pages scream with hope and joy and peace for all mankind!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Perfect Punk 101By StilettoThis is a delightful intro to the punk movement. It hits just the right note (pun intended) by explaining the movement without undue praise or criticism on a level thats perfect for the beginning reader. The claymation-style illustrations are wonderfully detailed and accurate. Punk-loving parents will be able to springboard off the narrative with lots of personal anecdotes and backstory.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This is just friggin awesome.By Crystal ViciousI absolutely love this book! The illustrations are amazing; and the story is so cute. What a fun way to teach little ones about music. I dont even have children. I bought this book for my 30 year old punk self because it just looked so great. So its pretty rad; even for adults. I will cherish it; and keep it safe in case I have children; or I will teach my nieces and nephews; just like my cool uncle taught me all about The Sex Pistols and Siouxsie Sioux. I dont even have to wait for them to be preteens!
