Shakespeare's a Midsummer Night's Dream: A Shortened and Simplified Version in Modern English (The Inessential Shakespeare) Details
Reviews
I was reading this prose version of Hamlet when I took the evening off to go to a concert. Passing a theatre, I noticed Hamlet was on and went in. Having reminded myself of the plot with this book, I enjoyed the production more than I would otherwise have done, even though I like to think I know the play well.As a teacher of English for foreign learners, I recommend this route as an introduction to Shakespeare. It lends itself well to playing in the classroom, and discussion of the issues the play raises.
