What educators are saying

This was a perfect version of the play for my 7th and 8th graders! I teacher kids with dyslexia, so this version was very accessible. They loved it!
My students enjoyed this script, which we read in about an hour. Glad it was editable so that I could add in a few quotes I wanted my students to learn.
