LM Shakespeare Hamlet

Why adapt Shakespeare? Well, it's hard! A lot of actors in Shakespeare productions can act it, confusing audiences. A lot of teachers can't teach it, confusing pupils. A lot of parents lack confidence helping with homeworkSo, here's a prose adaptation. Charles and Mary Lamb did this, but they deliberately abridged for 'young readers'. This is for students of all ages and parents, too. The action of Book One, Chapter 1 corresponds with Act One, Scene 1, and so on. The purpose is to make Shakespeare comprehensible and accessible. Shakespeare is the greatest of writers, for that reason everyone must attempt to grasp his genius. Read the original first and then consult this adaptation of Hamlet to help you. Use this as an aid. The poetry of the original cannot be matched.
