Shakespeare
has just been updated into modern English, this time by
British satirist Martin Baum in his newly released book,
"To Be Or Not To Be, Innit."
He
apparently told reporters that his aim was to update "the
important sexist, duplicitous, cross-dressing and violent
moments that made William Shakespeare well wicked."
Some
of his re-titlings of Shakespeare's classics include:
Macbeff
All's
Sweet That Ends Sweet, Innit
De
'Appy Bitches of Windsor
Much
Ado About Sod All
De
Taming of de Bitch
Two
Geezas Of Verona
Some
choice quotes from the book:
'Amlet:
"Dere was somefing minging in de State of Denmark."
Or
how about this from the opening of Romeo And Juliet:
"Verona
was de turf of de feuding Montagues and de Capulet families.
"And
coz they was always brawling and stuff, de prince of Verona
told them to cool it or else they was gonna get well mashed
if they carried on larging it with each other."
The
book is available on Amazon. We have not been paid for this
report. Quotes taken from Ananova.
