Today @KirkusReviews...
...I wrote about Exposed, Kim Askew and Amy Helmes’ reimagining of Macbeth in an Alaskan high school:
One of my favorite things about Shakespeare has always been that his stories can be re-imagined and re-told in pretty much any imaginable environment (including space!). And Exposure proves that his over-the-top crazypants plots work especially well in the high school setting, and even MORE SO when the characters go the chest-pounding, scenery-chewing route. It’s not a strict retelling—it’s far less bloody, for one, and not nearly as tragic (some of the major characters even get happy endings!)—and it does have flaws, but it’s mostly good fun.
