Description
In the iconic film by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, teenaged MartyMcFly travels back in time from the 1980s to the 1950s, changingthe path of his parents' destiny . . . as well as his own. Now fans ofthe movie can journey back even further-to the 16th century, whenthe Bard of Avon unveils his latest masterpiece- William Shakespeare'sGet Thee Back to the Future! Every scene and line of dialogue from thehit movie is re-created with authentic Shakespearean rhyme, meter,and stage directions. This reimagining also includes jokes and Eastereggs for movie fans, from Huey Lewis call-outs to the inner thoughtsof Einstein (the dog). By the time you've finished reading, you'llbe convinced that Shakespeare had a time-traveling DeLorean ofhis own, speeding to our era so he could pen this time-tossed tale.
