Awaken: Star Wars
Part the Seventh
Hark! The Shakespearian saga
doth continue once more!
Since 2013, author Ian Doescher has been
combining his dual loves for the works of
William Shakespeare and Star Wars by
adapting the entire movie saga into iambic
pentameter. Now, Doescher begins his
adaptation of the sequel trilogy with William
Shakespeare’s The Force Doth Awaken: Star
Wars Part the Seventh.
As the Resistance clashes with the First
Order, heroes Rey, Finn, and Poe are pulled
into a galaxy-wide drama, and the knave Kylo
Ren continues his treachery most foul.
Complete with Elizabethan verse,
Shakespearian monologues, and theatrical
stage directions, the 176-page hardcover
volume, coming out in early October by Quirk
Books, is certain to delight fans of Star Wars
and Shakespeare enthusiasts alike. Woodcut-
style illustrations by Nicolas Delort further set
the stage for the period parlance.
