An interactive and fun way to approach the world of Shakespeare.
Whacko and Dick Vizioso, who are not only brothers, but also Chicago’s most badass gangsters, have robbed a bank and suddenly find that their loot is actually in fact The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. The only way to turn these books into money is to sell them to the students. How? By persuading them, in their own peculiar manner, of the relevance of each of Shakespeare’s plays and making the students enjoy the formal, literary and most beautiful fragments of Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello or Romeo and Juliet, among other plays.
The perfect show for teachers and students to enjoy the experience of theatre in English during the language learning process!
24 activities,
46 minutes of video
The show is made up of four live recorded scenes, each designed, with the support of interactive activities, as a whole lesson plan.
Each scene and lesson plan is pedagogically designed to delve into a specific play and sample of William Shakespeare’s literary work, including all the necessary information about that particular play and its relevance within the author’s theatrical and poetic oeuvre as a whole.
The play is also accompanied by a very complete Teacher’s Pack that explores the figure of the author and each of the plays that appear in the show and thus make the most of all the opportunities offered at a didactic level to immerse oneself in the figure and dramatic work of Shakespeare.
