This New Edition maintains many of the popular features of the first edition, which made it so successful:

This fascinating and extremely useful A-Z guide includes entries for all Shakespeare’s plays, poems and characters as well as the terms used in theatre and stagecraft. This contrasts with other A-Z titles that concentrate either on a single play (as in school texts) or on biographies of Shakespeare’s characters. Entries help explain Shakespeare’s texts and provide the historical context needed. The wealth of information includes practical details of productions and theatre companies, terms from Elizabethan history and society, plus those used in critical reviews. The Dictionary of Shakespeare will bring hours of informative pleasure to anyone interested in the Bard and his work.

There are innumerable ways to interpret and re-tell the story of Romeo & Juliet. Shakespeare’s play is, after all, a creative adaptation of an earlier fable that appeared in France, Italy and Spain well before his version.

Kar2ouche Romeo & Juliet provides the complete text and audio, plus the complete character set and a wide variety of backgrounds, props and sound effects, for students to use to demonstrate their own understanding of and insight into the story.

It encourages them to produce their own unique interpretations of scenes, by posing the characters, adding their own text, recording their own voices and adding their own sound effects or music.

By visualising scenes, they find the language more accessible, deepen their understanding of character and theme, and gain a greater insight into the play’s structure. A wide range of lessons and activities engages children and inspires their creativity, by taking them inside the play through role-play and visualisation exercises.

Students can explore, for instance, the different points of view between the Montagues and the Capulets, or try more advanced activities, such as interrogating the Friar or producing an avant-garde interpretation of a key scene.

Kar2ouche A Midsummer Night’s Dream immerses students in a fantasy world full of bright characters and stunning backgrounds.

It provides them with all the tools they need – the complete text and audio from the play, all the characters and a wide variety of backgrounds, props and sound effects – to make their own class production, construct an animation of Bottom's dream, set key scenes to music, and even illustrate a front-page newspaper story, headlined 'The Elopement'.

The wide range of lessons and activities included provides the ideal way to introduce Shakespeare to younger students or to support GCSE coursework.

The activities are divided into four main sections:



Introducing the Play – establishing storylines and context
Closer Reading – in-depth readings of key scenes and extracts to develop understanding of plot, character, themes, images, relationships, the author’s craft, etc.
Extending Study – ideas for more challenging tasks, additional activities for students who finish early, and fun things to do at home or after the lesson
Unit of Work – an outline for approximately 20 lessons, about one-third of which use Kar2ouche, which shows how Kar2ouche complements existing teaching methods and is likely to be used by long-term supply, trainee and newly qualified teachers

Was Hamlet truly mad, or was he a cunning schemer? How can his relationships with the women in his life be interpreted? These are just two of the themes that teachers and students can address with Kar2ouche Hamlet – a great way to introduce a complex play at A level.

The complete text and audio from the play, the complete character set and a wide variety of backgrounds, props and sound effects are included. Students can produce their own interpretations of scenes from the play by posing the characters, adding their own text, recording their own voices and adding their own sound effects or music, to demonstrate their understanding and insight into the story.

Three suggested activities are provided for students to use to discuss and share their points of view:



The Play’s the Thing – designed to encourage closer reading of Act 3 Scene 2 and its relationship to the play as a whole
Frailty, thy Name is Woman – focuses on Gertrude’s character and how this is developed during the course of the play
What Happens in Hamlet? – students decide which three quotations best summarise each act of the play and produce a storyboard frame for each

Kar2ouche Macbeth provides the ideal way of helping students to visualise scenes and relate to characters from Shakespeare’s tragedy.

The complete text and audio from the play, the complete character set and a wide variety of backgrounds, props and sound effects are provided for students to use to produce their own unique interpretations of scenes from the play. They can demonstrate their understanding of the story by posing the characters, adding their own text, recording their own voices and adding their own sound effects or music.

A comprehensive range of suggested lessons and activities is included, providing an ideal tool to support GCSE coursework:



In the Hotseat – gain insights into the characters of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and/or Banquo, and see how quotations from the text can be used to support their views
Before They Were Infamous – the ways in which Macbeth and Lady Macbeth change during the course of the play
Macbeth Sorted – a revision activity to remind students of the main events of the play, in which they have to annotate a series of frames depicting ten key moments from the play and sort them into the correct sequence

Kar2ouche Much Ado About Nothing allows students to read between the lines of Shakespeare’s comedy of mistaken identity and plot twists, and develop their own interpretations.

There are innumerable ways to interpret and retell the story. Past versions on stage and in film have represented it in a variety of forms – from a farcical, light-hearted, comic crowd-pleaser to something with potentially much more menace – while the Kar2ouche version is set in the American Civil War.

By visualising scenes, students find the language more accessible, deepen their understanding of character and theme, and gain a greater insight into the play's structure.

There are many suggested activities provided in the software, including:



Barebones Much Ado – students create a summary of the narrative, incorporating key quotations and creating memorable visuals to accompany their notes
Class production – pairs of students are asked to capture the main action in a single scene
What happens when? – students open an out-of-sequence summary of the play and arrange the frames in the correct order
Finishing off – students have to complete a partially prepared storyboard comprising some quotations, some modern English summaries and a selection of images, by choosing a style of interpretation and filling in the gaps

The BETT award-winning Kar2ouche Twelfth Night is the ideal way for students to discover one of Shakespeare's more complex plays. Mistaken identities, a shipwreck, love triangles, emotional chaos and a happy ending are just some of the elements for students to explore in this entertaining comedy.

The software is an ideal tool to support GCSE coursework. It includes the complete text and audio from the play, the complete character set and a wide variety of backgrounds, props and sound effects. Students can demonstrate their understanding and insight into the story by posing the characters, adding their own text, recording their own voices and adding their own sound effects or music.

Sixteen different activities are provided, ranging from an introduction to the play, to closer readings of key scenes and extracts, and extended study – ideas for more challenging tasks, additional activities for the student who finishes early, and fun things to do at home or out of the lesson.

They encourage students to show their understanding of different aspects of the play, such as how easily people can be tricked, the developing relationship between Orsino and Viola, and what makes an audience laugh.

Imagine if students could experience every aspect of staging their own theatre, TV or film production - without leaving their desk. Script-writing, casting, set building, directing, lighting, audio-recording, editing and camera skills: the MediaStage virtual 3D performance tool (with GCSE activities by Heinemann and supported by Nesta Futurelab), delivers it all.
Students build and populate their sets, select characters and arrange lighting and cameras using objects from the software library. Character movements, lighting and cameras are in their full control. Students can: record or type in character dialogue and see it performed with automatic lip-synchronisation; control character movements, gestures and emotions; set camera positions and live edit; save and share performances.

A comprehensive Teacher Support Pack (Included free with network licence) provides coursework activities suitable for AQA and WJEC examining bodies.
