I haven't done this for awhile, but this hashtag was too irresistable: #RuinShakespeare.
ROMEO AND JULIET:
"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the cops, and I am on the run."
(Note: This actually works better than Shakespeare's original second line, by reducing the meter to 10 beats on the second line, thereby matching the first line. Admittedly, that was not his intent, as he varied the meter throughout the monologue.)
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM:
"Trump, what fools these voters be!"
RICHARD III:
The definition of the 2008 economic collapse, by Shakespeare:
"A house! a house! my kingdom for a house!"
And so we did...
