ALL THE WORLD’S A GRAVE: A New Play by William Shakespeare
(August, Drama)

In ALL THE WORLD’S A GRAVE, John Reed takes Shakespeare’s plays, with a primary focus on Hamlet, Othello, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, King Lear, and Henry V, cuts them up and recombines them into a new play. All the language is Shakespeare’s, but it has been rearranged and reassigned, creating a new story for these characters to act out their fatal loves and flaws, jealousies and betrayals. Shakespeare often sourced his plays from existing plays and this book takes this practice a step further creating an exciting and innovative new work.

John Reed received his MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. His fiction and non-fiction has appeared in journals, newspapers and magazines nationwide.
