22-year-old student Alex Edwards “has transposed the whole of Romeo and Juliet’s famous Act II, Scene II into text abbreviations and produced it as Were4 rt thou Rmo? It’s a flip-page book with the text versions alternating with Shakespeare’s actual words; currently a uni project limited edition, but hopefully more widely available soon. Interestingly, the point is not to celebrate or promote the world of texting, but to show newcomers to Shakespeare how beautiful and powerful the original writing is.”
