Description

'Gilbert writes so well that you half suspect he could give up the day job,' The Independent.'A natural storyteller,' The Times Educational Supplement (TES)The brand new edition includes Shakespeare's original play as well as a fabulously entertaining, controversial and challenging translation.This book is a perfect companion to Baz Luhrmann's great film 'Romeo + Juliet'. Written by a teacher who is also a best-selling author, 'Star-crossed' is a modern version of Romeo and Juliet which updates Shakespeare's classic play in a very entertaining fashion. In some ways it is faithful to the original text, providing a modern translation for every speech in the play. However, it uses poetic licence to make Shakespeare's language accessible to teenagers and adults: for example, bad language has been used when appropriate to the dialogue. This playscript is not suitable for children under the age of fifteen. After reading this modern translation, you'll understand and appreciate Shakespeare's text that much more.
