Romeo and Juliet: Sixty-Minute Shakespeare Series (Classics for All Ages)
"Allows teachers to introduce the language more easily to wary students...The series is a valuable resource...Foster successfully retains each plays integrity and beauty." --Today's Librarian"Reading-or performing Shakespeare doesn't need to take 'forever and a day.' Not if you raise the curtain on The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare...Cass Foster has done a superb job of cutting the text while retaining the sense of the story and the poetic rhythm of the words." --Education WorldWant to ease kids into reading full-length Shakespeare? The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare series offers fast-paced condensations of six Shakespeare classics. Rather than retell, the series preserves the original play format and the Bard's language, while providing excellent footnotes to archaic words. It's a smart stepping stone to the real thing. --NEA TodayAs our Education Outreach department at Colorado Shakespeare Festival is dedicated to enlightening teachers and students (and the community at large) about Shakespeare's works-using a "hands-on" philosophy-I have found the Five Star Shakespeare collection an incredible resource. --Melinda J. Scott, Education Director, Colorado Shakespeare Festival
