Hamlet is Not OK - extract from my new book
Description
My new book 'Hamlet is Not OK' goes on sale this week. I recorded two chapters as a bonus episode to promote this event. I hope you enjoy it.
Here's what it says about 'Hamlet is Not OK' on the back of the book...
Selby hates homework. She would rather watch TV - anything to escape the tedium of school, her parent's bookshop and small-town busybodies. So Selby didn't plan to read Hamlet. She certainly never planned to meet him.
Hamlet, the much-maligned miseryguts, is seen here with the empathy of a modern teenager's gaze. With warmth, brilliant banter, deadpan humour and, well, dead people. R.A. Spratt brings her trademark wit to Shakespeare's famous play.

Come along to the Book Launch Show for ‘Friday Barnes 14, Nothing to Lose’. I’ll be telling the stories behind the ideas in the book, doing a live reading and probably singing a song about it. Books will be available for purchase and I will be signing them after the show.
