A Midsummer Night's Dream: Abridged for Schools and Performance

A shorter, school-friendly edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream for classroom reading, student performance, drama groups, tutors, home educators and younger readers.

This widely used abridged edition keeps Shakespeare's original language while making the play more manageable for students to follow, discuss and perform. With thousands of copies in circulation in the UK and USA, it has been created for practical use in real classrooms, rehearsals and school productions.

This carefully abridged version of A Midsummer Night's Dream keeps the lovers, fairies, mechanicals, comic confusion and play within the play, while presenting a streamlined script that is easier for students to read, rehearse and perform.

Originally devised for a Theatre in Education tour, this script has been successfully staged with as few as four actors and adapted for larger school casts. It is equally effective for classroom exploration of scenes and for full productions in a drama studio, school hall or theatre space.

This edition includes:
  • A streamlined performance script
  • Short scene introductions to guide understanding
  • Staging advice based on real school productions
  • Classroom drama activities to support literary study
Ideal for classroom work, Shakespeare study, school productions, drama activities, tutoring, home education and younger readers meeting Shakespeare for the first time.

Part of the Antic Mind Publishing school classics range, this edition is designed to support accessible reading, teaching and performance of Shakespeare.

Written by an experienced teacher and director, this edition helps students engage actively with Shakespeare's language, characters and themes through both study and performance.
