They work really well not only as dramatic readings for beginning discussion of Poe's story, but also as performance pieces for beginning acting students who need to work on interpretation techniques, creating atmosphere/mood, and projection stamina. I have actually had more advanced acting students use this piece (3 voice) fo

A Midsummer Night's Dream-Abridged Play Script
This A Midsummer Night's Dream play script keeps Shakespeare's language and all of the Acts/Scenes, but reduces the play to 28 pages (14 if copied front/back) from 48 pages. It includes footnotes to explain the antiquated language.
If you use the 1 page = 2 minutes of performance equation, it would be about an hour performance (with students who know lines well; longer if they have to read it).
I justify the copy expense so students can highlight the play and take notes in the script.
