Cantata & The Extinction Therapist: Two Plays by Clem Martini

Cantata & The Extinction Therapist features two plays: the first is an exploration of wellness and how it impacts our family members, while the next depicts a group therapy session for animals (and a virus) threatened with extinction. Both plays are fast paced but have a simple cast, which would make either one a good choice for use in English or drama lessons. Despite some rather unique characters (a woolly mammoth, for example), the foundational human struggles and emotions presented in both plays are likely to connect with readers. As many of the scenes are quick dialogues and some can be quite long, these plays are best suited for script reading unless the learners are adept at learning lines.
