Produktbeschreibung
The Silly Shakespeare for Students edition of Othello simplifies this challenging tragedy without losing any of the complexity of the plot, characters, of themes. This edition is perfect for introducing students to the Bard's work, working on a class play or drama club, or teaching speaking and oracy skills while grappling with a piece of classic English literature. Author Paul Leonard Murray, director of the Belgrade English Language Theater, has cut the play down to an hour or so and made the language more modern and accessible. But he's kept the dynamics of the tragedy of Othello, the Moor as he struggles against prejudices, social barriers, and his own pride and jealousy. We still grapple with Iago's motivations and how innocent to consider Emilia, Iago's wife, and Rodrigo, his companion and pawn. What is the nature of evil and why do people do bad things? This adaptation is written in rhyming couplets which keeps the action moving and engages students. The clever, slightly irreverent wit of the adaptation does not distract from the drama at the heart of the tragedy though. Also included are notes on playing style, a discussion of the characters and themes in the play, and a full summary to support students. This edition makes putting on Shakespeare easy and fun, even if you've never done drama in class before! Looking for something different for drama club, student theater, or speaking class? Want to spice up your literature or reading class and give students a new appreciation for Shakespeare? This is the series for you!

Autorenporträt
Paul Leonard Murray has worked as an actor and educator for over 30 years. He graduated in Theatre, gained an MA in Educational Theatre and a PhD in Applied Theatre. Originally from England but now living and working in Belgrade, Serbia, Paul is a passionate believer in the power of theatre to engage, educate and amuse children of all ages.He is currently the director of Belgrade English Language Theatre which is a youth theatre for young people for whom English is not their native tongue. The plays in the Silly Shakespeare for Students series were developed with the help of his youth theatre members and can be read in class or performed. Inspired by the humour of the Goons, Monty Python and Commedia dell Arte (and of course the Bard himself) Paul hopes that these adaptations can help to inspire further appreciation of theatre, the English language, Shakespeare and silliness.
