If Shakespeare Did Star Wars

[Marc]

Saw these in the shop in the theatre in Stratford on Avon yesterday. Had a quick flick through, rather cleverly done.

Didn't actually look at the price in the shop but I would imagine they were pricey

I keep meaning to buy these for my Dad, he's the most un cultured person going but was lumped with taking his students to see something at the Globe, now suddenly he's a Shakespeare aficionado.

True, but Amazon's production of Othello last season was dreadful.

Ask a stupid question but what are they, the Star Wars films in play form?

Yes, written in the style of Shakespeare.

Awesome they sound like great fun, I'll go look em up on Amazon

Thanks

Not read any but I would imagine it goes something like this

How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry, which their keepers call
A lightning before death! Oh, how may I
Call this a lightning?—O my Dad , my adversary !
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.

Or

Alas, poor Darth ! I knew him, Anikin: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment...
