Incomplete Shakespeare: Hamlet by John Crace

Incomplete Shakespeare: Hamlet by John Crace

Alas poor Yorick, he looks not at all well. I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, though sadly finite breath. Though thy gibes be still, yet still thou grins. I seldom saw thy teeth look quite so clean To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, this is the fourth 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.

Witty, modern reworkings * Evening Standard *
Hilarious - and all the better for those of us who know our Shakespeare back to front * Harriet Walter *
Shrewd interpretations of the Bard; funny footnotes too * Hugh Bonneville *
Perfect for anyone who struggles to understand Shakespeare.. hilarious and informative, they really bring Shakespeare to life. * Reality's a Bore *
