[edit] STREET CHILD PLAYSCRIPT

This is the story of one boy's fight for survival in a harsh world where he must continually fight for a roof over his head and food to eat. It is based on the true story of the boy who inspired Doctor Barnardo to set up his homes for the 'ragged boys'.

Jim Jarvis is all alone in London in the 1860s. Where can he turn for help? He has lost his family - all that's left is the workhouse. But Jim is a fighter and doesn't give up. Find out how Jim's story inspired Dr Barnardo to help thousands of homeless children. Street Child includes a large cast of male and female characters and can be used in the classrooom or in drama lessons. The resource materials offer ideas for staging the play, together with background information on poverty in the 19th century, homeless children, the workhouse and Dr Barnardo. A wealth of activities covering written, oral and drama work are provided.
