'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.
