OMG Shakespeare

YOLO Juliet. srsly Hamlet. Macbeth #killingit. Shakespeare goes textspeak
A new series of books for younger readers gives some of the bard’s greatest plays the 21st-century textspeak treatment. If you have FOMO, read on …

No.

Shakespeare took Raphael Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland and refashioned them into stories fit for the theatre – the most popular format of his time – transforming history into a rose that “might never die”.

Just No.

Now Penguin Random House and Brett Wright are returning the compliment, publishing Shakespeare’s classics in a medium made for the 21st century: textspeak. The OMG Shakespeare series, published under the Random House Books for Young Readers imprint, includes YOLO Juliet. srsly Hamlet. And the forthcoming Macbeth #killingit and A Midsummer Night #nofilter.



Gun.  Where's the gun ?  Now bullets, where the hell are the bullets ?
