FAQ
Is this a standalone product or part of a larger curriculum? Both! It works as a standalone production kit for any group that wants to put on a play. It also pairs perfectly with the Stories from the Stage curriculum as a second production — or as a way to run the full class again next year with a brand new play.
Is the script adapted from the original? The script is a curated cut of Shakespeare’s original — all of Shakespeare’s words, condensed into a shorter, more manageable production that young performers can understand and enjoy. You can further edit it to fit your cast size and timeline.
