Romeo & Juliet Blinged Out: A Shakespearean Tragedy Converted into Comedy

Romeo & Juliet Blinged Out is a comedy which introduces and reinforces Shakespeare's original tragedy while keeping the plot, themes, and some of the Bard's famous quotes. Blinged out characters (Seuss-like rappers wearing lots of jewelry) introduce the cast, tell the story, and explain key elements of the original along with a few literary terms. Quotes from Shakespeare's original are in bold and referenced at the end of the quote. To aid teachers and directors, the book contains line counts, stage directions, costume suggestions, and prop details. To help students and performers, the lines and stage directions are color-coded for each character.
