Description:
Canadian author Crad Kilodney created the “Shakespeare For White Trash” series to make Shakespeare understandable and enjoyable to the many millions of people living now who have little or no knowledge of Shakespeare, and to prove to them that the stories contained in Shakespeare's plays are superb. The plots and characters are unchanged, but everything else has been radically restyled. Read Crad's versions and you will become a Shakespeare fan.  Enjoy!

Kilodney originally posted his versions on Wordpress.com from 2010 to shortly before his death in 2014. It was the first time that all 38 of Shakespeare’s plays had been rewritten by one author and published in one place. They are re-packaged here to increase the likelyhood of people, like you, finding them.

Mr. Kilodney hoped acting companies would be encouraged to stage these plays more often.
Gist of the story: These events take place in 44 B.C. (assassination of Caesar) and 42 B.C. (battle of
Philippi). After a power struggle with Pompey, Julius Caesar has emerged as the undisputed leader of
Rome and its dictator. He is extremely popular with the masses (“plebeians”). But a clique of
conservative nobles find it intolerable that one man should command so much power in what is
supposed to be a republic. They decide to assassinate Caesar. To make their actions credible and
acceptable to the masses, they recruit the highly-respected Marcus Brutus to lead them. When Caesar
goes to the Senate, he is surrounded by the conspirators and killed, but his closest friend, Antony, is
spared. At Caesar’s funeral, Brutus speaks to the crowd to justify the assassination. Then Antony gives
a speech that turns the crowd against the conspirators. The result is a civil war, with Brutus and
Cassius leading the armies of the conspirators, and Antony and Octavius leading the armies of the
“loyalists,” culminating in the battle of Philippi in 42 B.C. (Octavius was only 20 years old at the time
of the battle.) The loyalists win. (Historically, dictators have always been popular with the masses, and
this is where their political power comes from. This fact often escapes modern people, and it is a
crucial element in the story of Julius Caesar.)
