"A master at engaging students in the process of performing a
Shakespeare scene." Janet Field-Pickering, head of education,
Folger Shakespeare Library Richard III: The 30-Minute Shakespeare
This edition of Richard III features seven scenes, opening with the
Duke of Gloucester's villainous "Winter of our discontent" speech
and followed by his audacious wooing of Lady Anne. Queen Margaret's
chilling curses, Richard's string of murders, and the haunting
chants of his victims' ghosts are stage drama at its best. The
climax is a gripping battle in which the Earl of Richmond slays
Richard and becomes King of England. There is also an essay by
editor Nick Newlin on how to produce a Shakespeare play with novice
actors, and notes about the original production of this abridgement
at the Folger Shakespeare Library's annual Student Shakespeare
Festival. The edition includes a preface by Nick Newlin, containing
helpful advice on presenting Shakespeare in a high school setting
with novice actors, as well as an appendix with play-specific
suggestions and recommendations for further resources.
In "Julius Caesar," Rome serves as the setting for a tragic tale of
betrayal, murder, and vengance.
