About the Book

‘Give me the daggers and I’ll pin the blame/ On Duncan’s grooms who both are also slain. /A little water clears us of this deed /Though a large scotch might also do the trick...’ To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, this is the first of a new collection of the Bard's greatest plays, digested to a few thousand words with invaluable side notes from John Sutherland. Funny and incredibly clever, these parodies are a joy for those who know their Shakespeare, perfect for the theatre goer needing a quick recap, and a massive relief for those just desperate to pass their English exam. This ebook has a large amount of footnotes and is best viewed on a device that supports pop-up text.

Review :
What finer way to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death than a series of witty modern reworkings...Shakespeare reduced to 100 pages of pithy pentameter with smart side notes. Witty, fresh takes on Shakespeare Hilarious – and all the better for those of us who know our Shakespeare back to front. Hilarious – and all the better for those of us who know our Shakespeare back to front. Shrewd interpretations of the Bard; funny footnotes too. The wonderful John Crace collaborating with UCL’s John Sutherland for parodic and truncated retellings of Shakespeare’s great plays. A very pleasant way to read Shakespeare. Better by far... Perfect for anyone who struggles to understand Shakespeare... hilarious and informative, they really bring Shakespeare to life
