Description
Shakespeare is not meant to be read.
Shakespeare at Play is dedicated to bringing you Shakespeare’s works as they are meant to be experienced: in performance. Romeo & Juliet, our first publication, brings you the entire text along with a full video production of the play. The production has been staged for the camera with an emphasis placed on clear, easy-to-understand storytelling.
This is different from seeing a movie version of Romeo & Juliet. We include every scene from the play in its entirety, which makes it perfect for those studying Shakespeare or experiencing Romeo & Juliet for the first time. Most movie versions of Shakespeare’s plays include only about one-third of the play’s text, but Shakespeare at Play has staged the whole thing.
We’ve also included commentary notes throughout the text from the University of Toronto’s Noam Lior as well as audio introductions to each scene which highlight basic plot details and points of interest in the scene under discussion. Our text also makes full use of the iPad’s built-in dictionary, as well as our own glossary for words and terms that have gone out of use or mean something different today than they did in Elizabethan England. All of this is meant to make experiencing Shakespeare more enjoyable and less intimidating than it can be in a classroom setting or with a book in one hand and a dictionary in the other.
**A NOTE ON FILE SIZE**
Because we're anticipate people using this ebook in places without access to a persistent internet connection, we have chosen to embed the video right into the ebook, which can make for a rather large file.
