Description: Cambridge School Shakespeare was developed from the work of the Shakespeare and Schools Project and has gone on to become a bestselling series in schools around the world. Each play in the series has been carefully edited to enable students to inhabit Shakespeare's imaginative world in accessible and creative ways. 

This new edition of Cambridge School Shakespeare has been substantially updated with new and revised activities throughout. It remains faithful to the series' active approach, which treats each play as a script to be acted, explored and enjoyed. 

As well as the complete scripts (established by scholars working on the New Cambridge Shakespeare), you will find a variety of classroom-tested activities, a running synopsis of the action and an explanation of unfamiliar words. This edition also includes: 
an eight-page colour section which introduces each play with a range of production photographs 
an enlarged selection of notes including information on characters, performance history and language.
