Abstract
Sunday's Child is a play, written by four undergraduate law students at The University of Warwick, as part of their assessment for an optional half-module, Origins, Images and Cultures of English Law. The play reflects innovative teaching practices in the area of law and humanities. Based on the professional experience of the course teacher (Dr Paul Raffield) as an actor and director, the techniques of the rehearsal room are introduced into the classroom, enabling the students to develop transferable and cross-curricular skills of negotiation, communication, presentation and performance. In the course of the play's construction, the students develop into a cohesive ensemble, working collaboratively to fulfil the communitarian ethos of the module. The teaching and learning process is intended to demonstrate the Aristotelian principle (central to the substantive content of the course), as espoused in The Politics and The Nicomachean Ethics, that the foundations of justice lie in the establishment of community: the bonds of friendship provide the basis for the ideal polis.
