William Shakespeare's Cymbeline: A Retelling in Prose | 
pickSomehow, I didn't pick up that the ghosts in Cymbeline were Posthumus's parents and brothers. Maybe it was because I was reading so fast to catch up, but I could really dig into this play even more with this retelling in prose. I'll definitely be reading more from #davidbruce in the future. It's a great companion after having read the play itself. #cymbeline #shakespeare #shakespearereadalong
This is still one of my favourite parts of this play.
If you have to tell people you're not a fool, Cloten, then you are. It's like class. If you have to say "I'm classy" (or wear "classy" on the arse of your track suit), you're not. #shakespeare #cymbeline #shakespearereadalong #davidbruce #cloten
Iachimo is even more of a jerk in this version than the original (or at least it's more clear how much a jerk he is).
The Queen I almost expect to cackle when she speaks.
I am absolutely adoring this take on #Cymbeline. The author has done a really good job of keeping as much of the original text as possible, while putting into prose, so it's just a bit clearer. #davidbruce #shakespeare #brucedavidbruce #shakespearereadalong
Since there is still time in the Cymbeline read-a-long, I thought I'd take this for a spin. I've never read this author before, but if the way he wrote his bio is any indication, it's going to be good!!! It's only about 250 pages, so it should be a quick little read, too. lol #davidbruce #cymbeline #shakespeare #brucedavidbruce #prose #verse #shakespearereadalong (sort of)
