SCRIPTS

Community Shakespeare Company Editions:
Shakespeare for Young People

This highly intelligent, innovative approach to Shakespeare immediately engages students grade 3 and up, along with the significant adults in their lives: parents, teachers, mentors, community groups are all inspired by these original, re-imagined Elizabethan-style texts. Best of all, children as young as eight love performing them!

CSC Edition scripts are faithful adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays, written in verse, combining the Bard's immortal words with just enough modern English to make the plays easy for youngsters (and Shakespeare-intimidated adults) to understand and embrace. No text currently available makes Shakespeare so accessible to so many. Young children easily memorize these rhyming couplets. Adults who “never understood Shakespeare” are engaged for the first time. These adaptations capture the spirit and the essence of Shakespeare’s original work, while giving his plays fresh energy and interest for today’s audiences.
