Summary:
All Brexit’s a stage, and all of the men and women merely players . Written by the Bard himself, with a little help from novelist Boris Starling, this great comedy of mistakes retells the tragic story of the UK’s acrimonious break in the EU, created in fantastic iambic pentameter.
From Cameron and Osborne, through May and Gove, to Cummings and Boris, this is a tale of cynical electioneering and poisoned political scheming, and a most original take on the defining event of our time. about William Shakespeare’s Brexit: A Politics Sh*tstorm in Five Works
Featuring as hammy a cast of personas as ever graced THE WORLD, this is actually the best satire for anyone interested in politics, humour, or even a little bit of Am-dram.
‘To keep or never to leave, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in your brain to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrag’d Remainers,
Or even to take arms against a sea of Leavers,
And by opposing end them? To leave, to stay,
Forget about; and by departing to state we end
The EU, and the thousand petty rules
That we stick to, – ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To stay, to leave;
To remain, perchance to keep: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that move to keep what dreams will come,
Whenever we have shuffl’d away this Brussels yoke…’
BORIS JOHNSON
