Julius Caesar Blinged Out!: A Shakespearean Tragedy Converted into Comedy (Shakespeare Blinged Out!)

This play is a comedy introducing students to Shakespeare’s tragedy Julius Caesar while keeping the plot, themes, and some of the Bard’s famous quotes. Blinged out characters (rappers and a Seuss-like Fox and Cat wearing lots of jewlrey) introduce the Julius Caesar cast while explaining key elements of the original along with literary terms. Quotes from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar are in bold and referenced at the end of the quote. Line counts, a few stage directions, costume suggestions, and prop supplies are listed at the beginning of the play to aid teachers.
