As 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. Whenever teachers are looking for a truncated script, or help with "opening up Shakespeare" to their students, I refer them to you...(Five Star Publications - Arizona)Melinda J.

The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare makes reading (and understanding) Shakespeare so much easier. Having a shorter version without sacrificing the storyline or wonderful poetic language is a plus. The author includes footnotes with definitions of some of the more difficult words, saving you time by not having to constantly stop to look them up. This will be perfect for my middle school aged child whose attention span isn't up to a full-length Shakespeare novel just yet.Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare as a part of a blogging program and posted a review on my blog, Cinnamon Hollow. All opinions are strictly my own.
This abridged version of Macbeth retains all the main points of the story, yet shortens it to the point the entire play could be produced with an hour long run time. Along with the abridged script, the author included staging tips and nice footnotes throughout the explain the meaning behind Shakespeare's words. This would also be a great resource for reader's theatre.Disclaimer ~ I was provided with a copy of this book by the publisher for a review on my blog, Day by Day in Our World.
These books are short versions of the original plays and still include Shakespeare's poetic language. The author includes footnotes on many pages to explain the meaning of certain words that are not used in today's world. This helped me to read through without getting confused like I did in high school, thus making it more enjoyable.
This is great introduction to Shakespeare, since the book retain the language and main plot points. I intend to use it with my 12 year old in homeschooling this year.
