Shakespeare Down Under: Aussie Slang Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798281678803)

What if Shakespeare grew up in the Aussie outback with a sausage sizzle in one hand and a thesaurus in the other?

Shakespeare Down Under is the Bard like you've never seen him before - rewritten with full-blown Aussie attitude, backyard banter, and classic down-under charm. From Romeo and Juliet pashing behind the servo, to Macbeth losing the plot in the bush, to a bogan Hamlet yellin' "To be or not to bloody be" - this collection reimagines Shakespeare's greatest hits through the sunburnt lens of the land girt by sea.

Translated, adapted, and given a proper slang-slingin' twist by Paul Tato, with full respect (and a few cheeky liberties) taken with the original master, William Shakespeare.

Grab your thongs, crack open a cold one, and dive into tragedy, romance, and poetic punch-ons - Aussie style.
