Group Presentation Plays

NOTE: Be sure to view the previous post for Act 3 & 4 questions!  

For your Group Presentation, due toward the end of the semester, you will collaboratively read a 5^th Shakespeare play and watch a modern adaptation/translation (post 1980’s).  I will give you more information on the presentation itself soon, but for now, give me your TOP 3 choices based on the plays below.  I will place you into groups of 3 based on your top (or 2^nd) choices if possible.  Please stick to the plays below, since I have special adaptations earmarked for each one that will be easy for you to access at no additional cost.  However, you are free to find other versions if you wish. 

The Plays:

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Titus Andronicus

Macbeth

Much Ado About Nothing

Hamlet

Romeo and Juliet

Othello

Henry V

The Taming of the Shrew

For a brief synopsis of each play, click here: http://www.bardweb.net/plays/.  Note that our library has copies (often in more than one edition) so you don’t have to buy the work in question.  Many are also free on-line, or in Amazon’s Kindle store.
