Much Ado About Nothing (Shakespeare for Young People)

The Shakespeare for Young People series enables students to enjoy the great plays of Shakespeare in the original language. The scripts, which have been cut to be performed in forty minutes, include descriptions and stage actions as well as production notes to help novice directors and actors. While the texts include only Shakespeare's original words, announcers introduce the scenes and explain difficult passages. Students enjoy the stories and poetry in the plays by reading them aloud or by acting them out.
