Shakespeare’s Shorts
‘Brevity is the soul of wit!’
Introduce your students to the characters, plot, and language of some of Shakespeare’s most famous plays in the most engaging, memorable way!
HALF-HOUR HAMLET
This highly physical production takes out all the procrastination – the tragedy is performed in 20 minutes, then in 7 minutes, and again in just 3.
EXPRESS MACBETH
This pacey performance spins the murder, betrayal, and madness of the Scottish Play into a tale of fun, frivolity, and… well, madness!
ROMEO & JULIET
This lively show turns the tragedy of the star-crossed lovers into a high-paced comedy with plenty of wooden-sword-buckling!
