YAMLET: Act 3, Scene 4 - Scromble Of Werms

Timed to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, Yamlet relocates sections of his most famous tragedy to the West Midlands. With the support of local authors, linguists and residents, key speeches from the play have been translated into Black Country dialect which proves every bit as poetic as the Bard’s blank verse.

In this extract:

Yamlet makes a nasty joke about the old man he has just killed.

“(Where’s Polonius?) At supper. (…) Not where he eats, but where a is eaten. A certain convocation of politic worms are e’en at him.”
(Hamlet: Act 3, Scene 4)
