What is happening to the Kill Shakespeare series?  I feel as though there is nothing to review here with this issue. Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, and Shakespeare are on a ship, Captained by a masked Cessario whose first mate is Viola.  Cessario and Viola and crew appear to be pirates, but pirates who are afraid of… Continue reading
