The TRYZONE area is almost fully complete and is now live on the new Shakespeare 4 Kidz website. The Tryzone - an on line "Try Before You Buy" pack - is designed to give a flavour of all the S4K shows that are available as "Put on a Play" packs.

In the Tryzone each title leads to a tabbed area with more detailed information about the show. The SYNOPSIS tab gives an outline of the storyline; the CHARACTER tab gives a few notes on some of the character parts in the show; the SCRIPT offers a downloadable section of the script; the SCORE tab* a downloadable piano/vocal score of one of the songs; the LISTEN tab allows you to hear a full-length song from the show and some snippets of some of the others; while the ORDER PLAY PACK tab naturally leads you to information on how to order the full "Put on a Play" pack.

(* some elements in the SCORE tab are yet to be populated)

The titles available as in the S4K "Put on a Play" pack series are:

• Shakespeare 4 Kidz A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
