William Shakespeare's Brexit: A Political Sh*tstorm in Five Acts

Description

'Two parties, both alike in dishonour, in fair Westminster, where we lay our scene...' Written by the Bard himself, with a little help from parody writer and novelist Boris Starling, this wonderful 'comedy of errors' will retell the tragic story of the UK's acrimonious break from the EU, with our most prominent politicians the key characters in this Shakespearean pastiche: Michael Gove in the plotting 'Iago' role, the doomed David Cameron as 'Macbeth', Theresa May as 'Julia Caesar', Jeremy Corbyn unable to decide on anything as 'Hamlet', and, of course, Boris Johnson as the feckless old rogue 'Sir John Falstaff'. A most original take of the defining political era of our time - this will be the perfect satire for anyone interested in politics, humour, or even a little bit of Am-Dram.

Boris Starling is an award-winning novelist, screenwriter and journalist. The writer of the bestselling series Haynes Explains which has sold over 500,000 copies. Boris has also written Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling novels and created the BBC1 series Messiah which ran for five seasons.

He lives in Dorset with his wife, children, dogs and a constantly fluctuating number of chickens and ducks. William Shakespeare is a world-renowned poet and playwright and has written over 35 plays which are performed all around the world. He's considered to be one of the most important literary figures in the English language and William Shakespeare's Brexit will no doubt be named as one of his greatest works.
