Each volume of Drama for Students features coverage of 14 to 15 plays most frequently studied in literature classes. Each detailed entry includes an introduction that provides an overview of the play; a brief biography of the playwright; a plot summary; a discussion of the play's principal themes; understandable essays on the play's construction (setting, dialogue, imagery); excerpted critical commentary; historical and cultural context sections that illuminate the play's role in inter-curricular studies, and much more. Each volume (beginning with vol. 27) includes two "Literature to Film" entries. Entries profiling film versions of plays/novels not only diversify the study of plays/novels but support alternate learning styles, media literacy, and film studies curricula as well.
Here are some of the plays that students will find in volume 28:
- "Andromache" by Jean Racine
- "Doubt" (Film entry) by John Patrick Shanley
- "Family Reunion" by T.S. Eliot
- "Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years" by Emily Mann
- "Once Upon a Mattress" by Mary Rodgers
- "Tom Thumb" by Henry Fielding
