Shakespeare Knows How to Rap!

Shakespeare is hard to understand. Thankfully there is a play that makes Shakespeare ten times easier for people. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare ABRIDGED! is a great show for anyone studying Shakespeare. The show only has three actors. These three actors perform all of Shakespeare's works. These three actors make it easy for people to understand Shakespeare. This video is just a small part of the show. In this clip the three actors RAP Othello the Moor of Venice. This rap is able to tell the whole story of Othello in 3 minutes.




The actors who are performing the show in this clip are the actually writers of the show. They take the tragedy of this show and they make it relevant for today and they make it interesting and funny. I love watching this clip and the others like it because it really helps people understand what happens in the plays. Another great thing about this video is that it is funny. People learn a lot more and retain information better if they are having a good time, rather than being bored.

This is not necessarily a film but this can be purchased in a video store or on Amazon. In the 12th grade I was introduced to The Complete Works of William Shakespeare ABRIDGED! I had already fallen in love with Shakespeare and his words but this made me love it even more because they find the humor of the plays and tell the story through the humor. I suggest everyone to see this because it is hilarious and very educational and helpful. I also suggest this to any teacher teaching a Shakespearean play.
