Shakespeare in a Box Taming of the Shrew [With 10 Playing Scripts, 1 Director's NotesWith Players' CardsWith Flute, Wig, and Groucho Glasses

All the living room's a stage! And your friends and family merely players, with their exits and entrances-and 45 minutes of utter enjoyment. Created by an imaginative drama teacher, The Home Shakespeare Festival is a complete theater company in a box.Home Shakespeare is like a host-your-own-murder game, but with an intellectual and artistic bent. Beginning with one of Shakespeare's best-known, best-loved works, the comedy The Taming of the Shrew, each kit has everything needed to produce and act out a thoroughly entertaining 45-minute version of the play: cards for a director and technical director, showing how to cast the play, direct it, stage it, and create easy sets and sound effects; cards for each of the major parts, with a summary of the character and suggestions on how to play him or her; ten cleverly abridged copies of the script; and key props. For Taming of the Shrew, each kit contains a working plastic recorder (a "flute" instead of a lute) and plastic Groucho eyeglasses.Each kit also contains a booklet introducing the wonderful world of Shakespeare, acting tips and exercises, recipes for grog, and other good party games to play. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Fun for all!

I bought this kit on sale at my local bookstore and it has turned out to be money very well spent! My friends and I had so much fun putting it on this weekend! It took a little longer than the kit said to get everything together at the beginning, but no longer than 30 minutes. There were 8 of us and 11 parts, so the "doubling chart" came in handy. My biggest question when I bought it was would I be able to use it more than...

Party Shakespeare

We bought the "Taming fo the Shrew" box because we knew that the box contained a blond wig, funny glasses and a broken recorder. The kids just had to have the props. But what I didn't expect was how enthusiastic the whole group of kids was to perform the play at our family reunion. It truly took about 30 minutes for the kids, ages 11-14 (with one adult present but not presiding), to assign all the parts, quickly rehearse...
