Summary "Playbuilding Shakespeare allows students to explore aspects of five of Shakespeare's plays as performance pieces. The techniques used in the book draw on aspects of playbuilding. At the end of each unit, students should be able to present a version of one of Shakespeare's plays, drawing on their own improvised work as well as drawing on the work of Shakespeare himself."--BOOK JACKET
