'I can wholeheartedly confirm that Susie Donkin is funnier than Shakespeare' MEL GIEDROYC
'Impeccably researched, contagiously enjoyable, highly recommended.' BRIAN COX

Imogen thinks she knows what Shakespeare's most famous plays are all about. Everyone does, right?

Star-crossed lovers. Naughty Greeks getting up to mischief in the woods. Scottish kings losing their minds. Young men with daddy issues. Dads who just need some positive affirmation from their daughters*. (*Okay, that's maybe putting it a bit mildly)

But when Imogen brings 14 amateur actors together to perform one of the Bard's great works in a bid to save their local community centre, it becomes apparent that she - or anyone who reads this book for that matter - will never see Shakespeare's greatest works in the same light again . . .

"BAFTA-winning Horrible Histories writer Susie Donkin makes Shakespeare's greatest works even greater." Stan Lafski, Imogen's uncle

"A very funny book. Would definitely not have been as funny if it was about Christopher Marlowe." Larry Fairfoul, troupe member

Susie Donkin has been a writer for the hugely popular Horrible Histories (CBBC) since it first aired in 2009. Now in its 9th series it was won a variety of awards including Best Writing Team and Best Comedy Show at the Children's BAFTAs. Other writing credits include the award-winning Smack The Pony (Channel 4), and Bearded Ladies (Radio 4, BBC2). As Artistic Director of Spitz & Co she has created three successful rural touring comedy shows all of which have toured extensively throughout the UK.
