The "Heinemann Plays" series offers contemporary drama and classic plays in durable classroom editions. Many have large casts and an equal mix of boy and girl parts. This play is a dramatization of Daniel Keyes's story about a retarded adult who desperately wants to be able to read and write.



This is a powerful dramatisation of Daniel Keyes's perceptive and sad novel. Charlie is a retarded adult who desperately wants to be able to read and write. He undergoes a brain operation which increases his intelligence. Yet such an operation begs many questions - can Charlie's emotional development keep pace with the intellectual? How do the psychiatrists and psychologists view Charlie - as a man or as the subject of an experiment like the mouse, Algernon? And the biggest question of all - will the operation be successful?
