Twelfth Night For Students

“I had the privilege of playing Olivia in a film adaptation and sitting with the play for those months, I really came to appreciate all its delicious layers and intricacies …. Paul’s highly engaging and imaginative retelling of the play does full justice to all of that—with the perfect blend of humour and heart; he cracks open what really lies beneath the language, a deeply human story of love, loss and longing.” — Shalini Peiris, Actress The White Lotus, Twelfth Night, The Ark

The Silly Shakespeare for Students edition of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night simplifies this hilarious comedy of mistaken identity, a love triangle, and upending the social order. Yet all the complexity of the themes and the story are here! It’s 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, actor and director of the Belgrade English Language Theater, has cut the play down to an hour or so and made the language more accessible, but written in a humorous irreverent tone and rhyming couplets! Light-hearted but not foolish, this adaptation will give your students an appreciation for Shakespeare and a love of theatre!

Hamlet For Students

“This new version of Hamlet with its clever rhyming couplets is great fun to read and would be thoroughly enjoyable to watch. It makes Hamlet totally accessible to a new audience and would definitely encourage further interest in Shakespeare. Fully recommend!” — Richard Fleeshman, Actor The Ark and Something Rotten

The Silly Shakespeare for Students edition of the bard’s most famous play, The Tragedy of Hamlet, simplifies the language of the play without sacrificing the power of the play! This adaptation is perfect for introducing students to Shakespeare or helping students practice speaking and oracy skills while grappling with the classics. The powerful dynamics are still here: Hamlet struggles with his own uncertainty as he seeks justice and retribution for his father’s death. Ophelia suffers as her once-lover spurns her whether to protect or out of pure madness. Claudius and Gertrude ponder their own guilt. Laertes’ own quest for revenge parallels Hamlet’s!
