Synopsis: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of the greatest stories ever told... in texts?!
What if the fairies and star-crossed lovers of the forest had smartphones? A classic is reborn in this fun and funny adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays!
Four lovers who can’t decide who they have a crush on.
One mischievous fairy with a love potion.
Total chaos in the fairy world, the human world, and everywhere in between!
♥️ and h8. The classics just got a whole lot more interesting. ;)
tl;dr A Shakespeare play told through its characters texting with emojis, posting photos, checking in at locations, and updating their relationship statuses. The perfect gift for hip theater lovers and teens.
A glossary and cast of characters are included for those who need it. For tl;dr means too long; didn’t read.
I’m not gonna lie, Shakespeare is not for me. And while I’m curious about his work, I’m not curious enough to read the OG material 😆 I did listen to a podcast though... And read this book. Lol.
