Now fans of the movie can journey back even further--to the 16th century, when the Bard of Avon unveils his latest masterpiece: <i>William Shakespeare's Get Thee Back to the Future!</i> Every scene and line of dialogue from the hit movie is re-created with authentic Shakespearean rhyme, meter, and stage directions. This reimagining also includes jokes and Easter eggs for movie fans, from Huey Lewis call-outs to the inner thoughts of Einstein (the dog).
