- Alternative title
- William Shakespeare’s Star Wars
- Synopsis
- Podcast from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Shakespeare adaptations are a proud tradition. Prokofiev turned Romeo and Juliet into a ballet. Verdi turned Macbeth and Othello into operas, and The Taming of the Shrew and Twelfth Night have been converted by Hollywood into teen comedies. But there’s a different type of Shakespeare adaptation when someone takes an existing piece of popular entertainment and re-imagines it as if it might have been written by Shakespeare. Ian Doescher is the author of six books under the series title, William Shakespeare’s Star Wars, based on the hit films featuring Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and the rest.
