Hamlet Script Abridged - 80 minutes
CalumRoyCalumRoy

Hamlet Script Abridged - 80 minutes

(0)
An abridged script of Shakespeare’s Hamlet for an 80 minute student performance. Trimmed to approx 40% original length and structured for fast flowing scenes. Excellent for supporting study of Hamlet for GCSE/Alevel English or Drama. Maintains Shakespeare’s original language, rhythm/meter and all key scenes and characters. Pages, scenes and lines numbered for ease of reference and rehearsal. Scenes are broken up into sub-scenes to aid rehearsal. Outlines for optional movement/mime/physical theatre sequences are included to fill in ‘offstage’ action and create opportunities for ensemble cast. Also included to help you are a draft rehearsal schedule (11 weeks) and audition materials. I directed a cast of students all the way from year 7-13 (ages 11-18), with SEN and MAGT/GAMA, performing this in 80 minutes, including movement/dance sequences for ensemble and it was very successful and well received by students, parents, staff and governors. The students involved really enjoyed themselves and rose to the challenge of Shakespeare’s language. If you’re thinking “my students couldn’t handle the language” - They can and will! If you enjoy, please leave a review! See also my Hamlet WHOOSH! activity - a great way to introduce the story and characters and get the cast bonding in an early rehearsal.
