The phone. The most beautiful, the most wonderful communication device in all the world.

Shakespeare Adaptations and Parodies Drop Dead, Juliet! by Allison Williams Comedy, Classical Adaptation, Shakespeare 30 Minutes, 4M+13W HS/MS Juliet has had enough! Enough with the poison, enough with the stabbing, and especially enough with the dying. She wants a new story and she wants it now. More parts for girls! More romance! Less death! Romeo and Juliet will never be the same - or will it? Not everyone's so keen on the changes. And why is Romeo sneaking off with Rosaline? Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $73.95, Rights: $50.00, Video: $50.00 tfolk.me/p87 Hamlet, Zombie Killer of Denmark by Chris Stiles Comedy, Shakespeare 35 Minutes, 4M+2W+11 Either, Plus Extras Zombie or not zombie? That is the question. HS/MS In this gruesomely comic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Denmark is plagued with zombies led by Hamlet's uncle/step-father, the current king of Denmark. When Hamlet learns from his zombified father the plot of his uncle - a plan to turn Denmark into a land of the undead - Hamlet knows he must stop him! Or not. If he could only be sure… A clever adaptation of the Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Hamlet, Zombie Killer of Denmark blends the original text with new, zombified dialogue, with much of the new text written in the iambic tradition of Shakespeare. Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $73.95, Rights: $50.00, Video: $50.00 tfolk.me/p186 Hamlette by Allison Williams Classical Adaptation, Shakespeare, Student Directors 30 Minutes, 1M+1W+3 Either, Expandable to 13 "Hamlette! Mark me! Why art thou wearing so much eyeliner?" Perform Hamlette and Mmmbeth together for a full evening of Shakespearean silliness! HS/MS Imagine if you will that "Hamlet" was not "Hamlet" at all, but "Hamlette" - a woman! This play is a twisty-turny interpretation of the classic Danish tale. Why spend four hours telling the story when five actors can get the job done in thirty minutes? Great for competitions. Elsinore has never been this funny! Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $57.95, Rights: $50.00, Video: $50.00 tfolk.me/p36 Mmmbeth by Allison Williams Comedy, Classical Adaptation, Shakespeare 45 Minutes, 5W+5 Either Perform Mmmbeth and Hamlette together for a full evening of Shakespearean silliness! HS/MS A hilarious gender-bending take on the Scottish play! Everything goes wrong. The witches take over the storytelling, Queen Duncan would rather open a donut franchise than die, Lady M's a bloodthirsty June Cleaver, and the murderers are preoccupied with creating a commercial for their services. Premiered at the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival! Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $69.95, Rights: $50.00, Video: $50.00 tfolk.me/p37 Mmmbeth: Competition Length Version by Allison Williams Comedy, Classical Adaptation, Shakespeare 30 Minutes, 5W+5 Either A competition length version of one of our most popular plays.

Did you just fall off the turnip truck or something?" What if Much Ado About Nothing took place at a high school dance? Mayhem ensues at Much Ado High School. Student Council president Don Pedro schemes to set up new student Claudio with Hero. Hero schemes to set up Beatrice with Benedick. And Don John schemes to mess up everything! An enjoyable introduction to this Shakespearean tale with lightning-fast pace, hilarious characters, and witty dialogue. Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $49.95, Rights: $40.00, Video: $40.00 tfolk.me/p55 More Shakespeare Check out these other Shakespeare adaptations in our catalogue: 55 Football Romeo (p. 9) 55 Shakespeare in an Hour (p. 20) Romeo and Juliet (Modern English) adapted by Craig Mason from Shakespeare Classical Adaptation, Shakespeare, Young Audiences 40 Minutes, 7M+2W+3 Either, Easily Expandable Allow your students to get a grasp of the story before they have to tackle the Elizabethan language. Does your drama club perform for grade school or family audiences? Try this retelling of Romeo and Juliet. The son and daughter of rivals fall in love, causing the age-old grudge between the families to resurface. It is a universal story, and Shakespeare's best-known work. HS/MS Our version gives an overview of the story and offers a lively introduction to the play. Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $53.95, Rights: $50.00, Video: $50.00 tfolk.me/p21 The Tempest adapted by Craig Mason from Shakespeare Classical Adaptation, Shakespeare, Young Audiences 40 Minutes, 7M+2W Room for audience participation. HS/MS Another great introduction to the world of Shakespeare! Our version of The Tempest uses only modern English. The play takes place on an island. Prospero the magician uses a great storm (a tempest) to bring his enemies to the island for one final showdown. This play allows for the performers (as well as their audience) to gain a grasp of "The Bard." Though the text has been simplified, the spirit of the original has been maintained. Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $41.95, Rights: $50.00, Video: $50.00 tfolk.me/p25 Will and Whimsy: Sixteen Dramatically Illustrated Sonnets of Shakespeare by Alan Haehnel Shakespeare, Student Directors, Vignettes 50 Minutes, 8 Either, Expandable to 35 HS/MS Shakespeare stands before you. A book of sonnets in his hands. His sonnets. 154 of them. Will you take the book? Will you read the sonnets? NO WAY!!!!!! Shakespeare isn't meant to be read. He's meant to be performed, shouted, loved, wept with, cursed over, died for, fought for, bled for! You might think that's a bit much. Somewhat overemotional. You can't understand a word Shakespeare says, and now you're supposed to get choked up? And bleed? Over Sonnets? Fair enough. Start with Will and Whimsy. Modern scenes play hand in hand with the original text. The sonnets come alive. No bleeding. We promise. Book: $6.95, PDF: $5.95, Photocopy: $65.95, Rights: $50.00 [3 or more scenes], $20.00 [One or two scenes], Video: $50.00 tfolk.me/p58 Theatrefolk Quick Link.
