The One-Hour Shakespeare series is a collection of abridged versions of Shakespeare's plays, designed specifically to accommodate both small and large casts.

This volume, More Comedies and Tragedies, includes the following plays:

  • The Comedy of Errors
  • The Taming of the Shrew
  • Antony and Cleopatra
  • King Lear
  • These accessible and versatile scripts are supported by: an introduction with emphasis on the evolution of the series and the creative process of editing; the One-Hour projects in performance, a chapter on implementing money-saving ideas and suggestions for production whether in or outside of a classroom setting; specific lesson plans to incorporate these projects successfully into an academic course; suggested casting assignments for small to large casts; the how-tos of producing a radio play; and cross-gender casting suggestions. These supplementary materials make the plays valuable not only for actors, but for any environment, cast or purpose.

    Ideal for both academics and professionals, One-Hour Shakespeare is the perfect companion to teaching and staging the most universally read and performed playwright in history.
