Confession: I love Shakespeare, I just for the life of me don't understand him when I read it on my own. I need to read it in a group setting, because my ADD-ass doesn't understand it AT ALL. So I decided to try these out. I covered Macbeth in high school so I thought it would be a good comparison and honestly, it's the whole story, but with a lot less FLUFF and extra stuff that was unnecessary. Needless to say that I really enjoyed it and will pick up the other ones as well! Shakespeare is a lot of "reaching the word count" and dick jokes, so I'm glad these little books are here to help

A classic and always one of my faves. I remember watching a play of this in primary school and it hadn’t left me since!!! Sinister and distressing but we love that from Shakespeare!!!!

My favorite Shakespeare play of all time - though Romeo and Juliet rivals it when it comes to the decadence of speech. A dark, twisted story that dabbles in magic. I've always been drawn to tales of ambition and thirst for power and Macbeth is the best of them.
