Starting in the deep south and moving northwards, Mark Casson has written plays for children, young people and adults, as well as television programmes and advertorials for Television New Zealand. His company ActUp also promotes the use of drama and role-plays for education, and his most recent plays not only use acting to tell their stories, but also incorporate song, dance, and sports, proving that all students really can join in with school theatre, whatever their talents may be.
