The 30-Minute Shakespeare series is also great for baby boomers and senior citizens to enact for fun at gatherings. They are easily performed with no rehearsal and make for a great stocking stuffer at $9.95. Parents and teachers of elementary school-aged children will also find these adaptations a great introduction to Shakespeare.
In past decades, many students (and students who are now teachers) have struggled to find a way to relate to William Shakespeare, largely due to teaching that did not take into account that plays are meant to be seen and performed, not read. The 30-Minute Shakespeare series’ plays have all been road-tested by non-actors from a DC Public High School, who performed it onstage at a festival, and emerged happy and triumphant, owning a piece of Shakespeare! No other script has the thrilling, action-packed stage directions, concise and educated editing, and sheer unbridled love of William Shakespeare in performance. It is that combination of education, expertise, enthusiasm and experience that put’s Nick Newlin’s The 30-Minute Shakespeare head and shoulders above all other books of its kind, and that is why students will be performing them for generations to come. Play on!
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is the world's greatest ever playwright. Born in 1564, he split his time between Stratford-upon-Avon and London, where he worked as a playwright, poet and actor. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare died in 1616 at the age of fifty-two, leaving three children—Susanna, Hamnet and Judith. The rest is silence.
