Classroom Script - A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
Performed this script with my fifth graders for several years. Almost all of the dialogue comes directly from the book. The only additional character is that of "grandma" Belle (in the story she broke off her engagement to Scrooge) as the narrator's voice and to tie up the story at the end. Final pages include all blocking instructions for each scene. Enjoy!

Othello SLICED
This is a sliced version of the original Shakespearean script, still in the original Shakespearean language. As is often done in order to produce his plays without them being three and a half hours long, my idea here was to trim some of the fat from the script, while keeping the original language intact. This way the students are still challenged and required to work with his original rhythm, imagery and syntax, and not side-step the whole process into the world of dumbed-down "translated" scrip
