Description
Theseus, the neighbourhood tycoon in modern-day Yorkshire, is getting married. Bottom and his mates are roped into putting on a play for the wedding. But, before the wedding, there are young lovers with problems to resolve.
Quick Summary
Robert Swindells gives Shakespeare a hilarious modern makeover by turning Theseus into a wealthy Yorkshire businessman while Bottom and his friends stumble through directing a play for the wedding. Kids will giggle at the chaos of young lovers with mixed up feelings, the silly amateur actors rehearsing their lines, and the magical mix ups that flip everything upside down. If your kid loves the laugh out loud messiness of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde Wimpy Kid or the theatrical comedy of The Stinky Cheese Man, they'll be totally hooked. This 3.9 AR level gem is perfect for kids in grades 4 through 7 who enjoy funny stories with heart.
