“Tabloid Shakespeare” by Nick Page

There’s not many things that I like more than taking Shakespeare’s plays and making fun of them in clever ways. This book does just that. All of Shakespeare’s plays and some poems are turned into tabloid articles in this book!

The end result: it’s hilarious! Page definitely has a good sense of humor. Even the advertisements are related to Shakespeare and it’s very funny. There are also published apologies from the rag for publishing lies after characters spread around rumors about one another.

The best one is definitely “Romeo and Juliet” since the story is basically from a tabloid anyways.
There are also some comments from the original Bard himself, but I won’t give it away since it’s pretty clever and amusing.


This was definitely written by a Shakespeare fan, and brings a new twist to his stories.
