Planning a school or amateur Shakespeare production? 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 of ROMEO AND JULIET is edited to four key scenes,
starting with the lyrical prologue and the foreboding opening
brawl, which is played out in slow motion to music. Also included
are the timeless balcony scene; the harsh scolding of Juliet by her
father; and the final moments at the tomb. 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.
