Review by Austin Live Theatre: "This is no Reader’s Digest edition. This adaptation may be used for free in part or whole for performance, even for profit I ask only that you contact me at to let me know who is using it, and give credit to David Hundsness and where appropriate. The unabridged version shows all cut lines in gray text, so you can easily restore lines and make your own edits. A Wedding Ceremony and Juliet’s Funeral are created from cut-and-pasted lines, and some scenes are altered for dramatic impact (all from the original script, of course). Dated references are minimized so the story may be set anytime and anywhere. It is shortened to under two hours, cutting scenes that are typically slow to modern audiences. This is an adapted version of the play using Shakespeare’s original language.
This script may be downloaded and used for free for education and performance. Side notes are given for vocabulary, figurative language, and allusions.
Spelling and punctuation are modernized (American) with some indications of pronunciation. Shakespeare’s complete original script based on the Second Quarto of 1599, with corrections and alternate text shown from the First Quarto of 1597, Third Quarto of 1609, Fourth Quarto of 1622, First Folio of 1623, and later editions. Romeo & Juliet play, complete original script, full text, with annotations translated into modern language, plus and adapted modernized version, annotated translations
