General Info
April Feld Sandor, founder of Simply Shakespeare, is creating a series of comedic plays adapted from Shakespeare's works. Each is designed to introduce audiences ages 12 and up to the language, humour and history of Shakespeare and his world.
The plays use Shakespeare's First Folio language and borrow those lovable "rude mechanicals" from A Midsummer Night's Dreame: Bottome, Peter Quince, Starveling, Snug and Flute — giving them new character histories for a fanciful look at Elizabethan actors and Elizabethan times.
The Lyon's Part, based on A Midsummer Night's Dreame, is available for production, and coming soon is You Take The Low Road, based on Macbeth.
Other productions in the works are The Gravedigger's Lament, based on Hamlet, and With Ham On The Side, based on As You Like It.
These productions are suitable for funding events at your organization and for schools with accompanying workshops and follow-up materials. The rights to produce the play may also be purchased by your theatre company or school.
