Love Shakespeare examines the trials and tribulations of falling in love through a theatrical exploration of scenes from four of Shakespeare’s most famous plays: Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It, The Taming of The Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing. Presented as an introduction to Shakespeare’s views of the stages of love, Love, Shakespeare focuses on love at first sight, love's conflicts, advice sought on love and love eternal. Originally developed as Shakespeare's Lovers by Libby Appel (Artistic Director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival) and Michael Flachman for the California Shakespearean Festival, the script was further developed for the Acting Company by dramaturg Douglas Langworthy, and features original music by Ray Leslee and rhythmic sounds similar to the show Stomp. A Resource Guide will provide classroom teachers with lessons and reproducibles to enhance the theatre-going experience. Pre- and Post-performance activities will help the students focus on both the literary and emotional impact of the piece. Role-playing, text analysis, writing-in-role and other drama-based techniques found in the guide will enhance the teachers' repertoire of exercises and will give students new approaches to literature.
