Incomplete Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing by John Crace
Benedick: I am man enough to say that I love thee. Is that not strange? Beatrice: Not really… Benedick: By my sword, Beatrice thou lovest me. Beatrice: Get over yourself To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, this is the third 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.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 *
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 *
