Hamlet could NEVER make his mind up about ANYTHING. And one time he actually wen
t to school in just his pants and got senthome because he couldn't decide what t
o wear. When Izzy (star of The Spy Who Loved School Dinners) is asked to tell he
r friends some HILARIOUS and SCARY stories she knows exactly where to look: Shak
espeare, the king of SUPER dramatic stuff.
After learning about Macbeth (a ST
RONG solider who ate four bowls of porridge and twenty pieces of toast every mor
ning) her friends want more. So Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Romeo and
Juliet all get the Izzy treatment. There's blood and guts, ghosty stuff, and pl
enty of people wandering around in their nighties.
The perfect introduction t
o the Bard! Izzy's version of Macbeth originally appeared on the BBC Radio serie
s 'Shakespeare Retold', read by actress Shirley Henderson (who played Moaning My
rtle in the Harry Potter films!). Read more of Izzy's adventures in these other
