Oh No! Mummy’s Cooking Vegetables Again

Just when Bianca thought she was a clever little girl not eating her vegetables, an unexpected friend shows up…

Will Bianca ever eat her vegetables?

About the Author

Born in Melbourne, Victoria Sandra was raised by two Italian migrant parents who immensely valued education. As a result, Sandra’s childhood was immersed in both English and Italian literature and from a very early age she knew that she would become a secondary school English teacher. This vocation would provide the platform to impart and instil a love of reading and the written word upon all students entrusted in her care.

Further, Sandra has always been an avid reader with a flair for imaginative writing and a passion for fine art which has inspired her to write her first children’s book. As a mother of two daughters, she values the importance of providing her children with a healthy balanced lifestyle. Sandra was inspired by the famous portrait head painting “The Greengrocer” by the Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Her vision was born from this inspiration, compelled, and moved to write a story to assist parents throughout their journey, evoking a true sense of enjoyment for children when eating their vegetables.

Italian Short Plays

‘Gli Adolescenti’ and ‘La Lettera’

Both of the Italian short plays; ‘Gli Adolescenti’ and ‘La Lettera’ are intended to be used for educational purposes, as a high school based reading resource, to compliment the learning of the Italian language or for lovers of the Italian language. With the inclusion of English stage directions, the characters begin to come alive as they explore the many facets of being a teenager in ‘Gli Adolescenti’, and to delving into a forbidden love story in ‘La Lettera’.

Each Italian play has an introductory summary, written in English, in order to assist in understanding each of the performance themes. The topics of independence, rebellion, growing up and taking responsibility, autonomy, war, forbidden love, loss and hope are portrayed in the two Italian short plays.

Coming from an Italian background, it is important to pass on the joy of the Italian language to the next generation and to continue to hold the torch of light and love through the creative art form of theatrical storytelling.

Be prepared for each character to take you on a cultural journey and to discover the magic and excitement of being immersed in the Italian language.
