Paul Leonard Murray has worked as an actor and educator for over 30 years. He graduated in Theatre, gained an MA in Educational Theatre and a PhD in Applied Theatre. Originally from England but now living and working in Belgrade, Serbia, Paul is a passionate believer in the power of theatre to engage, educate and amuse children of all ages. He is currently the director of Belgrade English Language Theatre which is a youth theatre for young people for whom English is not their native tongue. The plays in the Silly Shakespeare for Students series were developed with the help of his youth theatre member's and can be read in class or performed. Inspired by the humour of the Goons, Monty Python and Commedia dell Arte (and of course the bard himself) Paul hopes that these adaptations can help to inspire further appreciation of theatre, the English language, Shakespeare and silliness. William Shakespeare is rather famous. You can very easily Google his bio if you need to.
Amazon rating 4.5 out of 5! ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2** Reader's Favorite 5-star review **"I've been lucky enough to read three of the resources in this series - consistently engaging, humorous, easy to read and well-graded. I am genuinely trying to hold back the praise with this one - these are top notch resources." - Peter Clement, ELT Planning and Start-Up"...just as exciting as the original...The exuberance that he displays in making this modern-day adaptation come to life under his guidance is admirable."- Reader's Favorite"Paul's Pericles is not a salvaged, sterile artefact to be admired behind glass, but a bouncy being, brimming with life, wit and energy....My own daughters loved taking part in performing Pericles under Paul's direction for the Belgrade Youth Theatre and were thus introduced to the Bard not as a handle-with-care package ensconced in multiple layers of protective bubble wrap but as a flamboyant jack-in-the-box, "to glad your ear, and please your eyes". - Andreas Roth, teacher, Belgrade"Taking an old classic and simplifying it for better understanding. Shakespeare can be hard to understand but this book tells the same story but in a way that is easier to understand. Great for students and teachers." - Rhonda G., Goodreads reader
