You know, back in the day, Shakespeare wasn't considered elite. Oh sure, his plays were performed for royalty, but they were actually written for tradesmen, shopkeepers, average Joes, anybody who could pay a penny for a ticket. Mostly he wrote plays for the common man, using the language of the times.
Times have changed.
In Shakespeare for Slackers, not only do you get the original play written by William Shakespeare, but you also get what a few of us think he probably would have written if he were still around today. (And if he sat around watching a lot of television.)
It's Shakespeare translated, retold, vandalized, brutalized, and outright demolished to suit the language of the times.
Why? Because we can.
The eBook version includes the threaded Slackers/Original, pure Slackers, and the glory of the original.
The perfect companion for John Poulsen's Shakespeare for Readers' Theatre.
Macbeth Shakespeare for Slackers Book 3 edition by Aaron Kite Audrey Evans Literature Fiction eBooks
I LOVED this book! Not only did it faithfully adhere to the original Shakespearean work, but the translation to the vernacular was spot-on and frequently laugh-out-loud funny. I really liked that the book allowed comparisons to the original by including the original text on one side and the "slacker translation" on the other side. I read both as I went along, so not only was I enjoying the modern translation, but I was getting a nice refresher on the original, which I had not read since high school. Kudos to authors Kite and Evans for making Shakespeare's famous tragedy not only easy to understand but highly entertaining. There were moments in which some liberties were taken with dialogue (e.g., some scenes were drawn out a little bit more), but that was fine and did not detract at all from the storyline. "Shakespeare for Slackers: The Tragedy of Macbeth" is a great literary work in and of itself! Loved it!Product details
