Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8–Plays are meant to be seen, and this interactive book features a fold-out model of the Globe Theatre in its heyday, complete with stage, galleries, thatched roof, and spectators ready for a performance. Selected punch-out characters from 12 of Shakespeare's plays are included (and attached to a small cardboard handle to allow for easy manipulation), as are two removable scripts that include monologues and/or scenes in which the characters appear. The package also provides a booklet introducing the Wooden O and the state of the theatre in Elizabethan and Jacobean times as explained by Richard Burbage, leading actor of the King's Players. The well-constructed 10-inch model is made with a good-quality lightweight cardboard and is drawn to scale and filled with accurate architectural details. The excerpts from the plays are exact quotes. A brief plot summary introduces each scene; however, the language of the commentary (as if offered by Burbage) is elevated and the structure quite formal. The illustrated booklet provides interesting information, but for those with little or no background in this theatrical tradition, the explanations may be incomplete. While the book's fragile nature will make it difficult to circulate, libraries might consider purchasing it for classroom or program use.–Nancy Menaldi-Scanlan, LaSalle Academy, Providence, RI

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. This large-format "book" folds out into three sections. The first displays a pop-up model of the Globe Theatre. On the next is an excellent booklet about the famous playhouse, written in the person of Richard Burbage. Glued into the third are pockets holding tiny, stick-puppet players on stiff, glossy paper and two actors' copies of a playbook reprinting and introducing a number of short scenes from Shakespeare's plays. Beautifully painted, the detailed and fairly sturdy pop-up model is a bargain at the price. Though the pockets holding the playbooks are flimsy and the pop-up Globe must be handled with care, public and school libraries may want to have this available for displays or for limited circulation to classrooms. Pair it with Susan Cooper's King of Shadows (1999) or Gary Blackwood's The Shakespeare Stealer (1998) and its sequels. Carolyn Phelan
