William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope
What's in a mash-up? Shakespeare ought to know
From all the remixes the Bard has seen:
Artists, Kurosawa to Boito,
Have dragged our Will 'cross page, and stage and screen. Inspir'd by Whedon's recent Much Ado,
We've dredged the 'nets for Shakespeare with a twist,
Our interest in such projects piqued anew,
We now assemble here our humble list: Five entries to enlighten and amuse
Even the staunchest purist, who will ne'er
Find a better sampling to peruse
Of such modern takes on classic fare. And with that promise, we'll bid you adieu,
That you may explore onward—just click through!
