A press release from Alex Chernin of Random House Digital Publishing:
Reimagined in glorious iambic pentameter, William Shakespeare’s Star Wars will astound and edify Rebels and Imperials alike.
Narrated by Daniel Davis, Jonathan Davis, January LaVoy, Marc Thompson, and author Ian Doescher, this saga of a wise (Jedi) knight, an evil (Sith) lord, a beautiful princess held captive and a young coming-of-age hero, abounds with all the valor and villainy of Shakespeare’s greatest plays.
Full of feuding royalty, family melodrama, comical fools, and fantastic creatures, Star Wars has always been the most Shakespearean of Hollywood blockbusters. Now it’s presented in a manner that Shakespeare himself would recognize–with classic iambic pentameter and Elizabethan-style stage directions.
Includes an afterword read by the author. – See more on this page.
