Review title: Stories, not plays
Product review: What a disappointment! I teach high school ESL, and I've had a lot of success using adapted classics and plays like others in the Penguin Readers series. My students did an adapted version of Romeo and Juliet last year, and they loved it. I thought this would be great ... but, despite the title, it isn't actually PLAYS. It's Three Great Plays, all right, but they're rewritten as narrative texts. Short stories, basically, which eliminates the oral language possibilities with ESL students and theater.
