When Shakespeare Lost the Plot

af Anand Subhuti

"FEAR NOT, YOUR MAJESTY, I SHALL KILL THEM ALL!" Will Shakespeare tries to save his neck by writing a gloomy play that will satisfy his misery-addicted boss, Queen Elizabeth 1st. So he pens his greatest tragedy, Hamlet, in which all the main characters die. But his wife, Mrs Shakespeare, is determined to save everyone and create a happy ending. In the struggle that follows, Western philosophy gets trashed, Eastern mysticism comes to the rescue and Hamlet gets a massive makeover.
