Description

An epic tragedy of love; war; murder; and madness; plucked from the pages of Shakespeare In "All the Worldapos;s a Grave;" John Reed reconstructs the works of William Shakespeare into a new five-act tragedy. The language is Shakespeareapos;s; but the drama that unfolds is as fresh as the blood on the stage. Prince Hamlet goes to war for Juliet; the daughter of King Lear. Having captured Juliet as his bride--by reckless war--he returns home to find that his mother has murdered his father and married Macbeth. Enter Iago; who persuades Hamlet that Juliet is having an affair with Romeo. As the Prince goes mad with jealousy; King Lear mounts his army. . . This play promises to be the most provocative and entertaining work to be added to the Shakespeare canon since Tom Stoppardapos;s "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead."
