Hamlet, one of the greatest stories ever told . . . in texts?! Imagine- What if Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, and the tragic Ophelia had smartphones? A classic is reborn in this fun and funny adaptation of one of Shakespeare s most famous plays! A kingdom on the brink of war. A stolen throne. A boy seeking revenge. The classics just got a whole lot more interesting. ;) A Shakespeare play told through its characters texting with emojis, checking in at certain locations, and updating their relationship statuses. The perfect gift for hip theater lovers and teens. A glossary and cast of characters are included for those who need it. For example- means too long; didn t read.

Courtney Carbone

Courtney Carbone studied English and creative writing in Baltimore before moving to New York City to become a full-time children's book editor.

When she isn't collaborating with the greatest authors of all time, Courtney can be found studying various forms of comedy and thinking of ways to finish her author bio with a clever pun....

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, in 1564. The date of his birth is unknown but is celebrated on 23 April, which happens to be St George's Day, and the day in 1616 on which Shakespeare died.

Aged eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. They had three children. Around 1585 William joined an acting troupe on tour in Stratford from London, and thereafter spent much of his life in the capital. By 1595 he had written five of his history plays, six comedies and his first tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. In all, he wrote thirty-seven plays and much poetry, and earned enormous fame in his own lifetime in prelude to his immortality.
