Publisher Description:
Pride & Prejudice like you have never experienced it before: quick, fun, and easy to understand. Designed for 8-16+ actors, kids, families, or anyone who wants to enjoy and perform Lewis Carrol’s classic story.
Pride & Prejudice for Kids is a play versatile enough for sibling fun, classes, drama groups, homeschool groups, or backyard performances. It’s appropriate and fun for all ages! Plays range from 15 to 25 minutes.
Do you want to incorporate a little drama into your homeschool or homeschool co-op? This fun little series is designed to "do" plays. Easy to read and to understand, the series targets schools and afterschools but would be very adaptable for homeschools and co-ops. The actual presentations of each play or book are short; usually 10 15 minutes. They are written in three different versions, each for an increasing group size (6-9; 9-12; and 12-17+). The text is colloquial, in general, but incorporates actual quotations from the play or book. These are highlighted and the "actors" are encouraged to speak those lines precisely but to use their own wording otherwise if desired. After all, "all the world's a stage." 80 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
