Shakespeare Summarised

Here is a not quite comprehesnsive list of shakespeares plays. Followed by a brief summary or pertinent point. Accuracy not Guaranteed. No money returned.

Romeo & Juliet	Teen Pregnancy boosts the Italian tourist industry. And the balcony construction industry. And the modern mafia
A Midsummer’s Nights Dream	Homeless people on drugs. Has a man named bottom. He turns into an Ass.
Macbeth	Warning: This play is unsuitable for minors as it glamorises knife crime. Contains the first Knock Knock joke. It isn’t very funny.
Hamlet	Prince Harry in ten years time, complete with the unorthodox fashion sense.
Julius Caesar	A towering indictment of antisemitism in a totalitarian regime.
Cymbeline	Bloody Foreigners
Taming of the Shrew	Bloody Women
Comedy of Errors	Brith Birth-control failures causes much stupidyti idiyoc hilarity.
Anthony and Cleopatra	Dance like an Egyptian. Just do it.
The Tempest	Meteorology gone mad.
Henry VI part 1 2 and 3	Elizabethan Star Wars. Episodes 5,6 and 7 are now lost. Or the Wagner's Ring Cycle, depending on your educational background.
Othello	‘Is it becoz I iz black?’ Mostly.
Two Gentlemen of Verona	See Julius Caesar.
As You Like It	All the worlds a stage. And all the men and women merely players. But none of them know any of the other lines except that speech. Makes for a boring (if short) performance. Also, where does the audience sit?
Loves Labours Lost	Ironically, this one is not lost, while Loves Labours Won is. If only that were as funny as it could be.
King Lear	Proudly providing job opportunities for mad old men since 1605
Coriolanus	The bit next to the Coriorectum. Man I’m funny.
Much Ado about Nothing	I’m rapidly running out of good material. Better pad it out with some bad puns.
All’s well that ends well	Stuff it, I’m out of here.

Well, that ends my first blog post. Leave a comment, or a summary of any other work. I'll post the best ones at a later date. Maybe.

Don't bother telling me how unfunny I am. I know.
