"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
