One of my sixth grade teachers introduced me to Shakespeare’s plays. I can still remember him telling my class that we were going to put on a really fun called . It had ghosts, murder and romance and that we’d get to learn how to sword fight. Putting on Hamlet was every bit as fun as he promised it would be. We all enjoyed it so much that our class put on The Taming of the during our Summer vacation.

I know what you’re thinking. Why on Earth did 12 year old Ms. Furey give up her Summer break to put on a 400 year old play? That’s easy. Ghosts. Murder. Romance. Sword fighting! Shakespeare wrote plays that are amazingly fun to read, watch and perform. I hope this list will inspire you to give the Bard a try. I’m sure you’ll like him as as much as I do. --Ms. Furey Shakespearean Characters Thomas Stothard, painter (1755–1834) Tate Gallery, , Shakespeare’s Plays
