Reviews

The wonderful John Crace collaborating with UCL’s John Sutherland for parodic and truncated retellings of Shakespeare’s 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

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

There is a lightness of touch and passages of thoughtful contemplation that befit the season. A perfect stocking filler.

—— Daily Express, Book of the Year

It’s the most unusual and surprising book and I haven’t been able to put it down.

—— Patti Clare , My Weekly
