Hilarious from start to finish.
Fans of Ghostbusters and Shakespeare alike will dote upon this witty and engaging adaptation of Reitman and Aykroyd's masterpiece. In faith, 'tis sooth that William himself would approve... or at least, his ghost would. Though an admittedly short read, this jewel of a book was well worth the price of admission. Take the plunge and enjoy an hour or so of much-needed belly laughter, especially for those well-versed enough with The Bard's work to tease out all the allusions and quotations. By any measure, 'twill be time well spent. Avaunt!

Delightfully daft retelling of the 1984 Ghostbusters movie
While staying true to the original story, the Shakespearean version of Ghostbusters manages to put it into an earlier form and make it work. The language is, at times, borrowed, adapted, or combined from Shakespeare's other works in a manner that is appropriate and funny. May he go on to tell the second film as well.

Just feels like the a copy paste of the movie script in a Victorian a.I. filter thought it would have been different
