The 12 SOL plays are
98% Shakespeare’s words,
vacuumed to an average of
69% of the originals.
They are formatted as thoughts,
not prose or verse.
They are not scholarly translations,
to be silently read, and compared;
they are condensed originals,
to be practiced out loud, and heard.

Why 4 free study guides? They contain 40 years of professional experience.
Why free monologues and pdfs? Young actors need credible performance-examples.
You might still purchase something or donate.
I grow weary of being free for ever.
Universal ingratitude wears me down.
I won’t give up, however;
who else is training youth
to think and speak complexity?
