Incomplete Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet Summary

Incomplete Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet by John Crace

Cease I say, cantankerous old fools /
Thy deeds hath made our streets a no go zone /
No more shall Montagues and Capulets /
Enact their West Side Story Sharks and Jets /
Or else shall pay the forfeit of the peace.To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, this is the second of a new collection of the Bard's greatest plays, digested to a few thousand words with invaluable footnotes 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.

Incomplete Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet Reviews

The wonderful John Crace collaborating with UCLs John Sutherland for parodic and truncated retellings of Shakespeares great plays. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
Better by far.. -- David Sexton * Evening Standard *
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. * Evening Standard *
Witty, fresh takes on Shakespeare * The Times *
A very pleasant way to read Shakespeare. * nudge.com *
