Final Exam: Part III



When I was a senior in high school a troupe performed a version of abridged Shakespeare for us and watching this clip reminded me of how entertaining it was. For scholars and people relatively well versed in Shakespeare, an abridged performance can act as a light and farcical break from the traditional reading, studying, interpreting, etc. of the Bard's plays. For people who aren't necessarily as acquainted with Shakespeare, an abridged version can still be an entertaining and enlightening insight to Shakespeare. If you search on youtube, I'm pretty sure you can find the entire Royal Shakespeare Company's abridged performance and I definitely recommend checking it out.
