{"product_id":"child-actor-ethics-von-meredith-ott","title":"Child Actor Ethics","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany plays with adult themes involve a child character in order to help  present controversial issues. Little is written, however, concerning the  ethics surrounding the involvement of children in adult-themed plays,  and there is no formal code or guide for theatre companies to follow  when choosing to work with a young actor on one of these complicated  scripts. There is little dispute that children have a strong effect on an  audience when they appear onstage, but the argument as to how a child  actor might be adversely affected by their participation has not been  fully explored.  The focus of this study is on four different case studies of children  involved in regional theatre productions of plays with different adult  themes, such as war, death, sex, and violence. From these observations,  I propose an effective guide for theatre companies to use when  involving a child actor in an adult-themed play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838387079\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChildren in Plays with Adult Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838387079","offer_id":39498935697501,"sku":"9783838387079","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e83dedd5-a237-4e66-9363-5c962c52eae2.jpg?v=1775362759","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/child-actor-ethics-von-meredith-ott","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
