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:Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is determined to be King of England and is willing tokill anyone who stands in his way. By the time he murders his way to the throne, he has made so manyenemies that a rebellion is inevitable. This will be the final War of the Roses between the Yorks(Richard, et al.) and the Lancasters (Earl of Richmond, et al.). Richmond kills Richard at Bosworthand then rules England as King Henry VII. (Shakespeare’s portrayal of Richard as a deformed, evilmurderer is based on the writings of Thomas More. But there is a large pro-Richard faction that insiststhat More’s history was just Tudor propaganda and that Richard never murdered anyone. The historicalrecord is not absolutely reliable either way, and the evidence against Richard would be consideredcircumstantial by modern standards. Nevertheless, the weight of that evidence is heaviest where thePrinces in the Tower are concerned. Richard was officially their Protector, he had complete power over them, and he had everything to gain by their deaths. To argue that some other person had them killed— quite conveniently for Richard! — is to stretch my credulity beyond its limits. There is a Richard IIISociety (www.richardiii.net) dedicated to rehabilitating Richard’s bad reputation, but I take them as acontrary indicator. If you need a society to rehabilitate your bad reputation 500 years after the fact, youprobably deserve that reputation.)
