Description

These versions of Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream are part of my Shakespeare in 30 collection. Each play in this series has been adapted for teens to tackle in a half an hour. You can use these scripts for Reader’s Theatre (1-2 class periods), Staged Readings (one week), or full productions (3-4 weeks+). This resource has been tested and performed with students in grades 6-12.

*Juliet & Romeo:* This is an exploration of role/gender reversal with an emphasis on the fight scenes. 6F/1M

*Macbeth & the Witches:* This abridgment focuses on Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Banquo, and the witches. 7 roles + 11 extras (apparitions and parade of kings)

*A Midsummer Night’s Dream:* This version is a simple abridgment that maintains all of the subplots and has roles for fourteen students.

*Twelfth Night:* This abridgment focuses on the mistreatment of Malvolio, with a heavy dose of cultural references for comedy. Roles for 5 students.

“This resource provides the ‘quick & dirty’ of a drama, without the dragging on process of a 2-3 month unit. I also love that it provides teamwork and empathy, as my kids need to continue to realize the world doesn’t revolve entirely around them!” -Victoria R.
