"This brilliant collection of re-imagined stories is a perfect
introduction to Shakespeare for students of all ages. They are
funny, fresh, intriguing and poignant, and use a supreme
storyteller's skill to bring us into the worlds of some of
Shakespeare's best-loved characters and plays. A must for all
teachers who want to excite and inspire their students about
Shakespeare's work and the possibilities of theatre." Jacqui
O'Hanlon, Director of Education Royal Shakespeare Company I,
Shakespeare brings together Tim Crouch's take on four Shakespeare
classics: Twelfth Night, Macbeth, The Tempest and A Midsummer
Night's Dream. These solo pieces are written for younger audiences
but their originality and strength make them suitablefor any age.
Each play in this collection combines the need to tell
Shakespeare's primary story with an opportunity for the secondary
characters to finally have their say - Malvolio, Banquo, Caliban
and Peaseblossom. Each play is different but all display a formal
inventiveness and a philosophical playfulness that make them stand
alone as brilliant examples of contemporary theatre.
