Eleanor McLeod is a teacher, performer, LAMDA examiner and Festival adjudicator. Her last collections of "Scenes for Young Performers to Enjoy" have been shared in enthusiastic performances across the world.

One reviewer said: 'Her understanding of writing material that will appeal to young players is evident. Her creations are well defined but offer the performer scope for individual interpretation. Drama teachers looking for scenes that will stimulate the students will be rewarded by some exciting new material.'

So, following on from that comes some more 'exciting new material' - scenes based on nursery rhyme characters, often given an amusing and modern twist, so here is Incy Wincy Spider as a frustrated weather reporter, Old King Cole wanting to enter a talent contest and Little Bo-Peep putting an advert in a Lost and Found column, along with many more. They are certain to be enjoyed once again.
