Shakespeare in 30 – All Plays & Guides

Description

This is the Shakespeare in 30 collection. Each play in this series has been adapted for teens to tackle in about a half an hour. You can use this script for Reader’s Theatre (1-2 class periods), a Staged Reading (one week), or a full production (3-4 weeks+). These resources have been tested and performed with students in grades 6-12. Break a leg!

Each play has a different “take” on the original. Some have been abridged to focus on major characters and themes, some are adaptations or mash-ups, one is focused on stage combat, and one is a gender-bent version.

All new additions to the Shakespeare in 30 collection will be added to this bundle. 🙂
