rewrite in Shakespearean play form, so he s decided to branch out, releasing this take on the first Back to the Future movie and a Mean Girls based book as well It s a fine addition to his previous

proposes it wou...This book is another fantastic play by Doescher What I really enjoy about here Shakespearean parodies is spotting the subtleties of the work being parodied as well as the Shakespearean references used to portray certain scenes For example, in the Back to the Future film, Huey Lewis plays one of the judges for Marty McFly s band In the movie he has only a couple of
