    Shakespeare’s Histories: Ten Epic Plays at a Breakneck Pace

    Recklessly sliced from the Historical Plays of William Shakespeare

    Adapted, Edited and Explained by TIMOTHY MOONEY

     
     
    Shakespeare's Histories; Ten Epic Plays at a Breakneck Pace!" is the fastest, most epic, insightful and funniest introduction to these ten most challenging works of the greatest author of all time! "Shakespeare's Histories" is a rapid-fire retelling of Shakespeare's ten history plays, KING JOHN, RICHARD II, HENRY IV, PARTS 1 & 2, HENRY V, HENRY VI, PARTS 1, 2 & 3, RICHARD III and HENRY VIII. This 45 minute performance creates a foundation for further exposure to, and study of, any of these ten plays.
     
    The text is liberally sprinkled with the most famous and most profound speeches of those great plays...It provides historical perspective, fills in crucial gaps of what Shakespeare leaves unsaid (either for political or dramaturgical reasons) and notes the occasional revisions that Shakespeare made to history in the process! Both PLAY and HISTORY LESSON, "Shakespeare's Histories" makes seemingly impenetrable plays easily and immediately accessible!
     
    Jumping from Shakespeare's richest poetry to Mooney's playfully impetuous perspective, "Shakespeare's Histories" isolates the precise facts needed to make characters, plot nuances and levels of intrigue come vividly alive and stick in our heads!
