Summary

Plain English Shakespeare adapts and abridges Shakespeare's classic plays, performing them in full cast theatrical productions in clear, modern English. This conversion from Shakespearian language to today’s English makes it easier to grasp the narrative structure of the play and appreciate Shakespeare's incredible gift for storytelling. This can be helpful for a younger audience, for those who are newer to the Shakespeare canon, and for those who simply looking for a fresh approach to the great works of Shakespeare.

This abridged version, lasting approximately 15 minutes, maintain the story and narrative structure of the original plays, but in a shorter 15-minute version, making it easier to digest Shakespeare’s works, which have remained some of the best-loved and most frequently performed plays for over 500 years.

Love's Labour's Lost is believed to be among Shakespeare's earlier plays and was performed before Queen Elizabeth in 16th-century England. It is a comedy as the King of Narrarre and his three friends (Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville) take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. The arrival of the Princess of France and her ladies in waiting quickly disrupts their scheme. The result is a level of confusion common to Shakespearean comedies.
