I have enormous respect for any authors who set off to adapt any Shakespeare‘s tragedies into comedies. Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs’s Wyrd Sisters (a novel parodying Macbeth by Pratchett, now adapted into a play text by Brigg) is everything one could dream for: fast-pace and sharp-wit dialogues; a perfect balance between the tragic and comic modes manifested through a fool character; jokes on adultery and dynastic endeavours; reflections on the social functions of language etc. They really pull it off. Thanks for cooking, Sir Terry and Mr. Brigg!
