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!
INSTANT ROMEO & JULIET
This lively show turns the tragedy of the star-crossed lovers into a high-paced comedy with plenty of wooden-sword-buckling!
