In OMG, Shakespeare, WTH? Stephen Cramer imagines the characters from the Bard's plays being transported to the 21st century when they have access to cell phones in addition to their traditional rapiers. He envisions, for example, Romeo texting Juliet (his #breastiebestie) just after he's killed her cousin, Tybalt, with all the discomfort that that conversation would have entailed. But hey, Tybalt had just killed Mercutio (his #testebestie). Shakespeare's contemporary Ben Jonson wrote that the Bard was not of an age, but for all time. Four hundred years later, these characters texting each other-their words replete with contemporary abbreviations and emojis-proves just that.
