‘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.

"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)
John Crace, creator of the Guardian's 'Digested Read' column, parodies 'the Scottish play' in a brilliantly funny reduced form, with Professor John Sutherland providing notes.
