"A truly fun, emotional, and sometimes magical first experience,
usually guided by a sagacious, knowledgeable, and intuitive
educator." -Library Journal From a teacher's perspective, this book
was a great way to introduce students to a Shakespeare play they
otherwise might never have encountered in high school . . . much
more fun working with the adaptation than it might have been if I
had tackled the full script. I strongly recommend this book (and
the rest of the series) to educators who want to introduce a
variety of Shakespeare plays to their students in a limited amount
of time. -James Brendlinger, Chairman, Department of Arts and
Communications, Lake Lowell High School, Winter Park, FL This
edition of Henry V presents eight scenes, using all actors as
Chorus. Included in this riveting cutting are Henry's inspiring
"band of brothers" oration to his men, a merry interlude with
Bardolph and friends, and an irresistible scene in which Alice
teaches English to Katherine and her ladies in waiting. 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. Nicolo Whimsey Press aims to make
Shakespeare's plays accessible, performable, and fun for young
people, regardless of their experience level. Through his twenty
years of working as a director-in-residence in DC public high
schools under the auspices of the Folger Shakespeare Library, Nick
Newlin has created thirty-minute edits of Shakespeare's plays,
complete with stage directions and character suggestions that can
be performed by groups of fifteen to thirty young people.
Performance rights are included with the purchase of play scripts.
Unlike most other scripts on the market today, The 30-Minute
Shakespeare has no separate charge for public performances, making
each volume an exceptional value. What makes these books
extraordinary is author Nick Newlin's breadth of expertise and
experience as a performer, teaching artist and scholar. Newlin
holds a BA from Harvard University and an MA in Theatre from the
University of Maryland. He has performed a stage act for young
people as Nicolo Whimsey since 1986 from the high Himalayas to the
White House, and since 2006 he has conducted a teaching artist
residency with DC Public High School Students with Folger
Shakespeare Library.
