Isn't it about time that Shakespeare and other old works of literature were brought a bit more up to date?

With that in mind, here are a few rewrites to be getting on with.

1.Richard III.

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by Global warming caused by man and not solar activity at all.

2. Hamlet.

2B or not 2B that is the question. Whether tis better to use a soft pencil or a hard pencil?

3. Macbeth.

Out damn Spot and take that bone with you.

Is this a dagger I see before me?

It's no good I shall have to go to Specsavers.

Thats true, Sandy..you know when you've lost something - your senses probably - as soon as you reason where they could be they remain lost.
