  • 1.  Classic Text Cuts

    Posted 02-23-2017 14:36

    Hey everybody,

    I am looking for some feedback on a project. Whenever I produce classic plays at my high school that are out of copyright (Shakespeare mainly) I do my own cuts. I keep the essentials to the plot, the rhythm, any iambic pentameter that remains, etc. I take great care with it and I have a stockpile of these. My question is this: 

    Would you pay for a pre-cut version of a Shakespearean play so that you didn't have to do it yourself? $10? $20? I enjoy the process, but I can see where some might see it as a great chore.

    I'm trying to decide if I should continue this as a project to get published...

    Thanks for any input.

    Dave

    I always do my own cuts. But I love Shakespeare and enjoy cutting the shows each time in a manner that works for that particular production and theme I choose.
