BORIS JOHNSON:

To leave or not to leave, that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrag'd Remainers,

Or to take arms against a sea of Leavers,

And by opposing end them? To leave, to stay,

No more; and by leaving to say we end

The EU, and the thousand petty rules

That we adhere to, - 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To stay, to leave;

To stay, perchance to leave: ay, there's the rub;

For in that move to leave what dreams may come,

When we have shuffl'd off this Brussels yoke...

This is our story. All Brexit's a stage, and all the men and women merely players...

Written by the Bard himself, with a little help from novelist Boris Starling, this wonderful 'comedy of errors' retells the tragic story of the UK's acrimonious break from the EU, written in wonderful iambic pentameter. A story of cynical electioneering and poisoned political scheming, featuring the likes of Boris Johnson, Theresa May and David Cameron, this is a most original take of the defining event of our time - and the perfect satire for anyone interested in politics, humour, or even a little bit of Am-dram.
