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!
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 is the book for you!
