Vancouver, BC – Once again the Internet has made business easier. In this case it’s show business – the business of Shakespeare with www.williamonweb.com. It’s now easy to get your own copy of either a Classic (Free) or Director’s Choice ($19.97) version of the most popular plays of all time -thanks to the innovation of a local Vancouver social profit enterprise. For professional companies, community theatres, academic or school productions, the editorial expertise contained in a Director’s Choice is a huge benefit. It streamlines the editing process by offering industry insider professional editorial suggestions coupled with a custom built online editor at WilliamOnWeb. The website offers versions of Shakespeare’s most popular plays including A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, Romeo & Juliet as well as Hamlet, King Lear, The Tempest, Comedy of Errors, Macbeth, Love's Labours Lost, Julius Caesar and more, available right now at WilliamOnWeb. What’s a Director's Choice? Most Shakespeare scripts, with 40-plus roles and running times over 3 hours, rarely get performed as-written in modern productions. But what to cut? Editing is a daunting process that may leave a director struggling with characters’ motives and plot flow, and requires time-consuming manual reformatting. To help solve these problems, WilliamOnWeb created their Director’s Choice scripts to suggest specific cuts which help you reduce cast size and running time while maintaining the integrity of the script. This new production edition draws on every credible version of the plays, from the original Folio to today’s academic gold standard, the Arden. But scripts from WilliamOnWeb aren’t academic works. They’ve been carefully crafted to work for directors and producers preparing from production. Accurate and faithful to the originals, these scripts also offer industry expertise on what and where to cut, delivering modern clarity to the characters and stories. “We think of our project as bringing Shakespeare into the 21st Century”, stated COO James Pollard. “This new edition of his plays and Scriptivate — our custom-built online script editor — represent the first real change in the way to work with the Bard’s plays since he wrote them 400 years ago.” Scriptivate, an online script editor FREE with both Classic and Director’s Choice versions, allows you to customize these scripts for your production. Scriptivate preserves all formatting of Shakespeare's text — showing suggested cuts as strikethroughs — and lets you accept, reject or make your own cuts and additions. Once you're satisfied, accepting your changes lets you e-mail or print your revised script in a rehearsal-ready format. Scriptivate works with modern web browsers on any computer connected to the Internet. Scripts are stored online "in the cloud”, bringing the process of editing Shakespeare into the digital age. Classic versions are offered FREE while the Director’s Choice versions are available for only $19.97 and include reference documents and notes supporting the suggested cuts.
