Status on my latest Shakespearean Assault
I've finished the second draft of Shakespeare's worst nightmare. I've taken the characters and the plot from Hamlet and Othello, transported them to Gundarland and turned these tragedies into comedies (and that ain't easy to do). It's now called Falstaff's Big Gamble.
Hamlet is a dwarf, the crown prince of Denmarko and he has family issues. His uncle killed Hamlet's father the king, usurped the throne and married his mother. Not only that, Hamlet's dead father is thoroughly pissed at the whole sordid affair.
Othello is a dark elf who used a trumped-up resume to get a high-ranking position in Dun Hythe, the country's biggest city. He soon realizes he is in over his head and doesn't have a clue how to solve the problems he faces.
Falstaff is a human and scam artist looking for fresh victims and finds both Hamlet and Othello are available.
Great fun.
It's almost time to look for first readers.
