Fakespeare
   
I welcome thee to thy Fakespeare page
Modern stories told in Blank Verse Plays. Shouldn't work, but it does...
   
 
My Fakespeare plays have been going down a storm at the Edinburgh Festival
and various theatres up and down the land - including The RSC in Stratford.
   
 
"Kane creates his cross-century mash-up with the joy of language dripping from his lips and echoes of Steven Berkoff at his youthful best. Watch him closely..." Steven Armstrong, The Sunday Times
   
What is Fakespeare?
   
  Too often, Shakespeare-philes rewrite his plays into modern language.
Oh look - Othello in rap. Here’s Romeo and Juliet in chav-speake.

It was time to try it the other way round: Our transient, modern, silly, and vile stories, told with an olde-speake relish for language and verse.

“If beauty be the goal of nature, then thy netting is by goodly Ronaldo infinitely struck upon.”
 

“I desire thee as all of girls aloud combined. The ginger one removéd.”
   
   
  Fakespeare is touring! Where? Good Question!
