Sinopsis

'The concept is original and the execution brilliant. This is Dr Seuss meets Shakespeare, with all the joy of the former meshed with all the intrigue of the latter.' - David Crystal, author ofáShakespeareâÇÖs Words andáHow Language WorksBut bottom of the all-time list/ Of ShakespeareâÇÖs not-so-greatest hits/ The play which always fails to please/ The poor, unfortunateáPericles./ But before you stand and leave you a seat/ I have to say our playâÇÖs a feat/ Of editing and derring-do / To bring only the best to you/ In forty minutes, not one sec more,/ Your jaws will be upon the floor.TheáSilly Shakespeare for Studentsáedition of ShakespeareâÇÖsáPericlesásimplifies the famous play without dumbing it down. ItâÇÖs perfect for introducing students to the Bard and helping English Language Learners practice speaking and oracy skills while grappling with the classics. Author Paul Leonard Murray, director of the Belgrade English Language Theater, has cut the play down to an hour or so and made the language more accessible. But heâÇÖs kept all the funny parts! Not only that, the whole thing is written in rhyming couplets. Put the yay in traged-yay!Production notes and a summary of the play make putting on Shakespeare easy and fun, even if youâÇÖve never done drama in class before! Looking for something different for drama club, student theater, or speaking class? Want to spice up your literature or reading class and give students a new appreciation for Shakespeare? This version of Pericles is for you!
