Phakespeare is a series of animal Shakespeare products for the young & wild at heart. We translate the complexities of Shakespeare, beginning in simple English and gradually introducing the full weight of the text. By using the literary convention of the backstory, the added narrative seeks to explain the character's motivations and allows youngsters to gradually absorb the plot. The hope is that young readers will relate more to animal characters and familiar animal behavior to make them want to persevere and be challenged by one of the greatest literary figures of all time.
The company believes that the traditional way of teaching Shakespeare is out of touch with a media-savy generation of youngsters who have grown up with Harry Potter and Nemo. Companies like Pixar and Disney have led the way and connected with children on unprecedented levels proving that children respond more powerfully to animals than humans. Through the mediums of literature and film we are making Shakespeare more accessible to children and bringing Shakespeare to a new generation one child at a time. |
