Sample scripts are for evaluation. If teachers want to use them with their students, please PURCHASE ONE.
If you think you could create your own scripts, you will need talent, smart reading friends and time.
Next would be Othello. Go ahead; amuse me!
The 12 SOL plays are
98% Shakespeare’s words,
vacuumed to an average of
69% of the originals.
They are formatted as thoughts,
not prose or verse.
They are not scholarly translations,
to be silently read, and compared;
they are condensed originals,
to be practiced out loud, and heard.
WHY FREE OPTIONS NOW?
Why free teacher samples? Teachers need to understand the proposed journeys.
Why free audio plays? Shakespeare’s words should be invented, not recited.
Why 4 free study guides? They contain 40 years of professional experience.
Why free monologues and pdfs? Young actors need credible performance-examples.
Universal ingratitude, especially from the talent-challenged, wears me down.
I won’t give up, however;
who else is training youth to think and speak with clarity and complexity and conviction?
The translators???
