This volume, More Comedies and Tragedies, includes the following plays:
-
- The Comedy of Errors
-
- The Taming of the Shrew
-
- Antony and Cleopatra
-
- King Lear
These accessible and versatile scripts are supported by: an introduction with emphasis on the evolution of the series and the creative process of editing; the One-Hour projects in performance, a chapter on implementing money-saving ideas and suggestions for production whether in or outside of a classroom setting; specific lesson plans to incorporate these projects successfully into an academic course; suggested casting assignments for small to large casts; the how-tos of producing a radio play; and cross-gender casting suggestions. These supplementary materials make the plays valuable not only for actors, but for any environment, cast or purpose.
Ideal for both academics and professionals, One-Hour Shakespeare is the perfect companion to teaching and staging the most universally read and performed playwright in history.
