OUTSTANDING for kids of all ages! Oct 26, 2009 I have used Kelso's adaptations of Shakespearean plays for kids in my classes for four years with tremendous success. Students are drawn to his clever use of humor and actual quotes to become true fans of Shakespeare. I work with sixth graders who carry their love of this work onto junior high and high school - giving them a huge advantage in literature classes. 'Macbeth' is one of our favorites - who can resist the witches and all the murder going on??? The kids love to create costumes and props to put on full productions for the rest of the school.
One of the greatest things about Kelso's adaptations is that they are so accessible to kids. All the students need is the script and they are off and running - production is totally kid-driven and always a huge hit with the audiences! Thanks to Brendan, a whole new generation will have a blast exploring Shakespeare. Be sure to check out his versions of 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Midsummer Night's Dream' as well - you can have your very own Shakespeare Festival!
