Shakespeare in a Box Taming of the Shrew Paperback - 2001

From the publisher

All the living room's a stage! And your friends and

family merely players, with their exits and entrances-and 45 minutes of utter enjoyment. Created by an imaginative drama teacher, "The Home Shakespeare Festival" is a complete theater company in a box.
"Home Shakespeare" is like a host-your-own-murder game, but with an intellectual and artistic bent. Beginning with one of Shakespeare's best-known, best-loved works, the comedy "The Taming of the Shrew," each kit has everything needed to produce and act out a thoroughly entertaining 45-minute version of the play: cards for a director and technical director, showing how to cast the play, direct it, stage it, and create easy sets and sound effects; cards for each of the major parts, with a summary of the character and suggestions on how to play him or her; ten cleverly abridged copies of the script; and key props. For "Taming of the Shrew," each kit contains a working plastic recorder (a "flute" instead of a lute) and plastic Groucho eyeglasses. Each kit also contains a booklet introducing the wonderful world of Shakespeare, acting tips and exercises, recipes for grog, and other good party games to play.
