As You Like It Shortened: Shakespeare Edited for Length Details
"Girl meets boy. Girl woos boy. Girl dresses up as boy and runs off to the Forest of Arden. Boy woos 'boy'. Girl woos 'boy'. Will it really take the god of marriage to untangle it all?" (BBC) This abridged version of Shakespeare's comedy runs approximately 45 minutes on the stage. Edited from the original play, this shortened version contains Shakespeare's original lines. Great for acting classes, amateur performances, school study and plays, or a great, quick way to brush up on your Shakespeare.
Reviews
Just lazy editing. For instance, the character of Touchstone is included, but only has one line. Obviously that character doesn't contribute to the over-arching story that the editor is trying to promote, so he shouldn't be in it at all.And there are other lazy bits of editing that I don't feel like writing about.But if you want a jumping off point to do your own shortened version, then sure, start with this one, but be prepared to have feelings of annoyance.
