The Complete Works

Study. Rehearse. Perform.

A focused tool for memorizing Shakespeare’s lines. Choose a play, take a role, and rehearse your part aloud scene by scene, with cue prompts and a voice partner that reads everyone else.

The Collection

Shakespeare plays you can rehearse.

How It Works

How to memorize a Shakespeare speech, in three steps.

  1. I

    Pick a scene

    Open a play and choose the scene you are working on. It reads as a proper script, with speeches and stage directions.

  2. II

    Take a role

    Choose your character. Your speeches are marked out from the rest, and everyone else’s lines become your cues.

  3. III

    Speak it aloud

    Start a voice session. The app reads every other part out loud and listens while you deliver yours, following you line by line.

The Rehearsal

This is what a session looks like.

In a voice session, the app reads every other part aloud and listens while you speak yours. Your own lines stay masked to their first letters until you recall them.

What’s Inside

The tools you rehearse with.

Cue Mode

Strip the scene back to your cues and your own speeches. Short Cue trims each cue to its last few words, the way a prompter would give it to you.

Voice Sessions

A live session reads every other part aloud and listens as you speak yours, moving through the scene with you. A microphone is all it needs.

Line Learning

Mask your lines down to their first one, two or three letters. Enough to jog the memory, not enough to read. Hover to check yourself.

Character Connections

Every character has a page: who they are, where they appear, and a map of how they stand towards everyone else in the play.

Questions

Before you begin.

Do I need a microphone?
Only for voice sessions. Reading, Cue Mode and Line Learning work without one.

Nothing. There is no account to create, no trial and no payment. Open a scene and start.
Which plays can I rehearse?
7 plays are ready to rehearse today, scene by scene, and more are added as they are prepared.
