These translations present work from “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42575391523053,"sku":"9780866987790","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/61si0ZVk0pL.jpg?v=1647404181","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/pericles-play-on-shakespeare","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
