Bardly Writ buy Graeme Sandford

Welcome to a world where Shakespeare meets stand-up, and the Bard gets a thoroughly modern (and slightly bonkers) makeover. Bardly Writ is an irreverent, poetic romp through Tudor times, literary tropes, and theatrical absurdities. With a cast of lost kings, confused witches, existential dogs, and slightly tipsy ghosts, this collection of poems, parodies, and miniature plays pokes affectionate fun at all things Shakespearean – and a few things that absolutely aren’t.

Written with a quill dipped in silliness and stirred with a knowing wink, Bardly Writ is part homage, part lampoon, and entirely unrepentant. Whether you’re a drama student, an English teacher, or someone who once sat through Hamlet and still isn’t over it, there’s something here to make you chuckle, groan, or exclaim, “Did he just rhyme ‘Capulet’ with ‘omelette’?!”

Yes. Yes, he did.
