About Us
The Project Begins. The most accurate modern translations available of Shakespeare's plays.
Now You Too Can Understand Shakespeare. We start the project by releasing a new series of books in the Shakespeare Translated series. For the first time collected in one volume, Shakespeare’s original play side-by-side with an accurate line-by-line modern English translation, along with stage directions, study notes and historical facts to aid understanding.
Shakespeare Translated
The original innuendos, political satire, puns and bawdy humour are retained, bringing the works to life for scholars, students, actors prepping for a performance, or lovers of the works to enjoy today without flicking back and forth for lengthy explanations. Additional study notes by former QI researchers and modern translation verified by historical consultant to the BBC and major movie companies.
The Dream
As an eight year old boy, SJ Hills read the first part of a simplified version of Macbeth in a children's comic. He rushed to the library to finish the story only to learn he couldn't understand the original work. So began a lifelong dream of making Shakespeare understandable for all, down the the smallest detail, enlisting the help of the world's most renowned researchers from BBC TV series, QI, to aid him.

"Amazing Translation
I wish this author had more Shakespeare books translated. Having the translation made it much more enjoyable to read along with all the notes the author incorporates to teach you about Shakespeare's style of writing in addition to the historical events that inspired his writings based on things like who was going to be watching the play."

"Really accurate translation, well written, and very useful in-line notes about how Shakespeare's writing was influenced by historical, political and current affairs of the time, which makes sense of key speeches that otherwise seem baffling. The best book to follow and understand the text and the play overall.
Highly recommended."
