This series is really amazing. Quite wonderful.Shakespeare's magic often can seem inaccessible.This 30-Minute Shakespeare guide leads everyone and anyone -- actor, director, school or other group -- by the hand through ingeniously shortened texts of Shakespeare's masterpiece plays.Part of the genius of The 30-Minute Shakespeare is the shortening of the text of the play script. Nick Newlin has brilliantly shortened these plays so that you end up with a coherent, whole, self-contained and self-explanatory story version of the play. The Tempest, told in 30 minutes. And all in Shakespeare's language: not "modernized" speech, but the real Elizabethan words of the Bard. Newlin's editing makes the words and the sense crystal clear.But that's just the start.How do you perform this stuff? Nick Newlin tells you! He makes it totally simple and accessible.This book will give you a sure fire success as you and your group read the words off the page and put Shakespeare's magical play on its feet -- how to do so is all explained to you, step by step, in these remarkable manuals.A fantastic key to putting on a Shakespeare play -- which is of course what they were written for! To be acted! Shakespeare's words will make beautiful sense as you follow Newlin's easy to use and masterfully constructed guide to perform your own Shakespeare play.
