At the dawn of the new millennium, after centuries of turning over in his grave, William Shakespeare can take it no more and has turned over right out of his tomb to chronicle once more the vanities and inanities of humankind.
He has hired a writing coach, a wordsmith and a grammarian, not to even dare to try to improve on his sublime verse - may heaven forefend - but to update him with the latest allusions, slang and pop culture.
