Synopsis
SHAKESPEARE SHAPIRO HAS ALWAYS hated his name. His parents bestowed it on him as some kind of sick joke when he was born, and his life has gone downhill from there, one embarrassing incident after another. Entering his senior year of high school, Shakespeare has never had a girlfriend, his younger brother is cooler than he is, and his best friend's favorite topic of conversation is his bowel movements.
But Shakespeare will have the last laugh. He is chronicling every mortifying detail in his memoir, the writing project each senior at Shakespeare's high school must complete. And he is doing it brilliantly. And, just maybe, a prize-winning memoir will bring him respect, admiration, and a girlfriend ... or at least a prom date.
An unabridged production on 6 CDs (6 hours, 35 mins).

Reviews
Shakespeare Shapiro's life has been one catastrophe after another, all stemming from the fact that his parents saddled him with that ridiculous name. To add insult to injury, his younger brother, Ghandi, is more socially adept than he is. Shakespeare's school, Hemingway High, requires seniors to write a memoir. So Jake Wizner's SPANKING SHAKESPEARE alternates between its protagonist's past and the events of his senior year. In a print book, there are techniques to let readers know if they're reading about the past or the present. But Mike Chamberlain's delivery does not vary, so the listener isn't always able to differentiate between Shakespeare's memoir and his current life. Be prepared for plenty of sexual fantasies, "F-bombs," and other bleep-able language. After all, Shakespeare is a 17-year-old boy with a VERY healthy imagination.
