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: Baptista, a rich gentleman of Padua, has two daughters — Katherina and Bianca.
Katherina, the older daughter, is regarded as a “shrew” because of her nasty disposition. Bianca, on the
other hand, is sweet and likable, and she has suitors. But Baptista has decided that Katherina must be
married first, and until then no one can court Bianca. Bianca’s suitors look for someone to marry
Katherina. When Petruchio, a friend of Hortensio, arrives in Padua, he learns about Katherina and her
shrewish reputation, and he decides to court her, marry her, and tame her. A series of complex
deceptions takes place. Hortensio, knowing that Baptista is looking for tutors for his daughters,
disguises himself as the tutor Litio, and has Petruchio present him to Baptista. Lucentio has his servant
Tranio assume his identity, while Lucentio changes himself into the tutor Cambio. Gremio presents
Cambio to Baptista to gain his goodwill, not knowing that Cambio is really Lucentio, who wants to
court Bianca. Tranio, pretending to be Lucentio, makes an extremely large offer of a dowry for
Bianca’s hand to compete against Gremio. Baptista accepts Tranio’s offer provisionally. Now Tranio
has to find an impostor to play the role of Lucentio’s father, Vincentio, to back up Tranio’s extravagant
promises of wealth. The deception comes unraveled when the real Vincentio shows up and confronts
the impostor. All ends well, however. Lucentio gets the girl (Bianca), and Petruchio has married
Katherina and transformed her into a perfectly obedient wife. (Shakespeare’s original play begins with
a gimmicky “Induction,” which has nothing to do with the play itself, and it is routinely cut out of
performances. I decided to concoct my own “Introduction,” which is a rip-off of a 1959 monster movie
trailer. My alleged scientist, Dr. Kwambe Odopongo Bungalunga, also appears at the very end to give
the play a suitably gimmicky conclusion.)
