What does it mean to translate Shakespeare? When we change all the poetry, all the wordplay, all the syntax - all the words - is it still Shakespeare? And is it still any good?
If you've wondered about how to rebuild a topical 400 year old joke in a new culture, or are curious about why Lady Macbeth's pronouns are a problem then this deliciously fresh look is for you. Daniel Hahn, seasoned translator and Shakespeare fanatic, will change the way you think about language itself.
