An excellent exercise in vocal tone for Drama or English students and a humorous performance for a school gala or concert. Two versions included: one 'Christmas Shopping" for seasonal concert/show, and the original version which is not season specific.
Clean language an humour appropriate to school setting.

An abridged script of Shakespeare’s Hamlet for an 80 minute student performance. Trimmed to approx 40% original length and structured for fast flowing scenes.
Excellent for supporting study of Hamlet for GCSE/Alevel English or Drama.
Maintains Shakespeare’s original language, rhythm/meter and all key scenes and characters.
Pages, scenes and lines numbered for ease of reference and rehearsal. Scenes are broken up into sub-scenes to aid rehearsal.
Outlines for optional movement/mime/physical theatre sequences are included to fill in ‘offstage’ action and create opportunities for ensemble cast.
Also included to help you are a draft rehearsal schedule (11 weeks) and audition materials.
I directed a cast of students all the way from year 7-13 (ages 11-18), with SEN and MAGT/GAMA, performing this in 80 minutes, including movement/dance sequences for ensemble and it was very successful and well received by students, parents, staff and governors. The students involved really enjoyed themselves and rose to the challenge of Shakespeare’s language.
If you’re thinking “my students couldn’t handle the language” - They can and will!
