Reviews
We really like this modernized Shakespeare plays. Even though this one is not our favorite it is still very good. This book contains three versions of the play for groups of 8 to 11 actors, 12 to 16 actors, and 16 to 20 actors. The author's goal is to make the story easy to understand for children, it is Brendan Kelso words with a splash of Shakespeare's lingo. He encourages actors to improvise rather than memorize the lines verbatim. Fun and kids are really enjoying it.Ali Julia review
