A Midsummer Night’s Dream Adapted Script (5-pack)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Adapted Script is a 30-minute adapted script that has been classroom-tested with young children. The adapted script keeps the rich and playful language of the original dialogue intact.  Conveniently packaged in sets of five, it is perfect for teachers wishing to stage a reading or production with their students.

The font size in this specially designed student script version is larger for easy reading. As well, the pride and ownership of students having their very own bound scripts increases their commitment to literacy and the dramatic process.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Adapted Script accompanies Stepping into Drama: A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Elementary Classroom, which features a series of drama lessons, a narrative version of the play, and age-appropriate production and rehearsal strategies.

Reviews

My favourite moment was when my daughter started reading scenes of the play to me. I spent years in high school and college with Shakespeare’s work, and feel that it is familiar because I have worked so hard to learn it. But I remember the feeling of dealing with Shakespeare for the first time in grade 10— just this intense trepidation because it was so strange and so hard—and to see my daughter pick up the text and start reading it to me, with the confidence that she could do it because she knew the play, in grade two! It’s so cool that they feel such familiarity with such a difficult author; really, as readers, it makes them unstoppable.” —Parent
