Reseña del editor:

"Beware the ides of March" warns the soothsaying Chorus in this acting edition for students in U.S. Grades 5-8 (ages 10-13) to prepare for and act in a forty-minute abridged school play using Shakespeare's original text from one of his most famous tragedies.

There are ten characters, including the Chorus, that appear in the STAGEiT! edition though parts can be double cast (requiring fewer students) or cast in choral character teams (requiring more students).

Cast of Characters (with pronunciations), Plot Synopsis, Paraphrasing Worksheets, and Acting Scripts are included along with a chapter about The Rehearsal Process, which includes how to note stage movement, and The Culminating Performance. Use of nouns, verbs, synonyms, and stage directions are explored in addition to Brutus' journey from loyal friend to savage slaughterer in a character study using archetypes.

STAGEiT! is conceived as a comprehensive series of interconnected companion titles. A Professional Development Guide and Directing Tools for Teachers of Grades 5-8 are available separately.
