Plays for Waldorf Festivals
Seasonal Plays for the Lower School by Richard Moore.
Richard Moore was one of the founder teachers of the Iona School in Nottingham. He has worked for over 25 years as a Waldorf class teacher.
Through his collection of seasonal plays for Lower School classes, Richard Moore brings to light not only his rich pedagogical experience but also his profound insight into the nature of the festivals. The language is beautiful and the plays have been fine tuned through many performances.
The plays are suitable for Classes One to Five.
This collection is not only a valuable resource for class teachers, it is also a source of inspiration.

Beyond the Forest
By Kelvin Hall
The Grail Quest is an archetypal story of the journey of humanity and of each person. Parsifal's search for wholeness – passed down by generations of storytellers – is retold vividly here by Kelvin Hall.
There is a Parsifal in every one of us as we move from the innocence and naivety of forgetting, through courage and surrender, to love and redemption. Impaired by fear, bewilderment, loss and misunderstanding, we learn to trust the instinct of the heart as well as accepting the wisdom and support of others on the way.
The story of Parsifal is close to my heart, and Kelvin Hall's gift is to bring it closer to all of ours in a language that can truly speak to us now –
