The Journey is a contemporary 3-act drama text specifically designed to keep large, mixed-ability groups of Key Stage 4 or 5 students (middle/high school) engaged and reading.

Unlike traditional stage plays that are meant to be seen, this was written specifically for the classroom. It takes place entirely within the static setting of a class on a school coach. This constraint gives teachers a built-in, logical reason to keep all students in their seats, while providing a large cast to keep everyone actively engaged. The fast-paced dialogue combines humour and horror while directly addressing the real concerns of teenagers.

The text comes complete with a cast list, the full 3-act play, and two afterwords (one on the writing process and another detailing the true event that inspired the play) and recommended teaching resources/activities.

There is no sex or bad language.
