Product Information
From the Publisher
For readers intimidated by Shakespeare, it's hard to imagine a more entertaining way to get a sense of what these classics are about.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Is it possible for one not-very-large volume to contain pop-up summaries of the Bard's every play and poem, with representative scenes, settings, quotes, and historical notes? Leave it to the managing partners of the Reduced Shakespeare Company to manage the deed—with plenty of help from Maizels (Pop-Up New York, 2014, etc.)...The plays are really the thing, but these concise and often hilarious takes offer tantalizing hints of their enduring value, along with their content.
