Hi Lisa
Just happened to see your blog entry.
How about doing The Tinderbox - it's a traditional story with wonderful illustrations - the setting is in the past - though it's not clear where! There are dilemmas in it - but not play writing. However you could adapt one of the writing activities to play writing - eg the diary in the cell - could be a play arising from conversation.
Varjak Paw has issues and dilemmas in it - it is the most fantastic book to do with a class - but it is quite substantial - it's not historical though.
Into the Forest is good for issues and dilemmas as well - and of course is a picture book. It depends what you want for your class.
Glad you're enjoying the project
Olivia
