Chariots and Champions

Chariots and Champions

Illustrated by Thomas Docherty

This play is set in Roman Britain and is suitable for a whole top junior class to read or act. There are notes on simple staging and costumes.

A boy digs up a bronze head from a Suffolk river. As he puzzles over it, the dramatic story of the Roman invasion of Britain unfolds in front of his eyes. Emperor Claudius, British Queen Boudicca, Roman soldiers and British slave girls all play their part.
