If Shakespeare was alive to see this, he'd turn in his grave...
This is superb:'A British satirist has translated 15 of Shakespeare's classic plays into chav speak.
Martin Bauam's updated version of Hamlet reveals: "Dere was somefing minging in de State of Denmark."...
Mr Baum's other titles include Macbeff, Much Ado About Sod All, De 'Appy Bitches of Windsor, De Taming of de Bitch, Two Geezas Of Verona and All's Sweet That Ends Sweet, Innit...
Mr Baum's version of Romeo and Juliet sets the scene for the star-crossed lovers with: "Verona was de turf of de feuding Montagues and de Capulet families.
"And coz they was always brawling and stuff, de prince of Verona told them to cool it or else they was gonna get well mashed if they carried on larging it with each other." '
Maybe Gordon Brown could quote some of this to try and get the 'common touch'.
