The Microwave Shakespeare Pack is a collection of nine books providing introductions to key Shakespeare plays. The plays covered form a great introduction and revision aid when studying Shakespeare's plays.

These books are perfect as an introduction before studying the play, for revision purposes and for reluctant and struggling readers. Each play is retold as a straightforward, pacey narrative in chapter-book format. The books use the present tense and lots of dialogue (in present-day English) to recreate the experience of actually watching the play.

The texts follow the original plays faithfully so students can acquire an accurate understanding of the action and plot. Memorable quotations from the original text (in italics) make these books perfect for exam crammers! Plus each book includes visual information to help pupils get to grips with the plot, the key characters and their important relationships in the play. The stories are all presented in the period of the play but with modern day language.

Written by three award winning writers Barbara Catchpole, Stephen Rickard and Jill Atkins, these are really accessible books. They are perfect for getting all pupils, whatever their ability, comfortable with each play before they go on to study it in its original form and a great all round introduction to Shakespeare.

This pack contains one copy of each of the following books from the Microwave Shakespeare Series:

  • Romeo and Juliet
  • Macbeth
  • A Midsummer Night's Dream
  • The Merchant of Venice
  • Twelfth Night
  • Much Ado About Nothing
  • The Tempest
  • Julius Caesar
  • Hamlet

These books are perfect for reluctant and struggling readers who need a good understanding of the play, but who would struggle with the original text.
