Macbeth, or The Wooster Affliction

By S. E. Ward

A kingdom teetering on the brink of farce. A thane whose most dangerous weapon is indecision. A valet in drag, a ghost with dramatic timing, and a hedgehog with alarming symbolic significance.

Welcome to Macbeth, or The Wooster Affliction - a riotous reimagining of Shakespeare's darkest tragedy, as told (with apologies and tea) by G. P. Woodhouse.

Bertram Woodleigh is quite content with luncheon, cravats, and avoiding responsibility at all costs. But when three eccentric aunts predict his rise to power, and his valet Peebles dons lace cuffs to make it happen, Bertie finds himself knee-deep in prophecies, pastries, and the occasional assassination plot.

Featuring spectral interludes, romantic insurrections, and a banquet that ends in revolution and trifle, this literary parody brings Wodehouse's wit to bear on the Scottish play in a tale of ambition, absurdity, and embroidered napkins.
