Get young people excited about Shakespeare! The best way to
experience the plays is to perform them, but getting started can be
a challenge: The complete plays are too long and complex, while
scene selections or simplified language are too limited. "The
30-Minute Shakespeare" is a new series of abridgements that tell
the "story" of each play from start to finish while keeping the
beauty of Shakespeare's language intact. Specific stage directions
and character suggestions give even inexperienced actors the tools
to perform Shakespeare with confidence, understanding, and fun!
This cutting focuses on three ridiculously funny and vibrant scenes
from A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. The first scene starts with Puck
mistakenly anointing the eyes of the wrong lovers with love potion,
leading to a madcap chase scene between Helena, Lysander, Hermia,
and Demetrius. Scene two features Bottom's magical transformation
to an ass, always an audience favorite. The final scene is the
classic play within a play, where the "Rude Mechanicals" act out
with "tragical mirth" the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, with
specific comic suggestions for the characters, including Lion
chasing Thisbe into the audience! The edition also includes 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.
