Purchase options and add-ons

It be the Passover Haggadah, as Shakespeare would hast writ it, hadst the idea occurred to him.

Art thee a teenager? Most wondrous. How about a tweenager? Coequal better. Readeth this while the stodgy grownups and fartuous children readeth the haggadot, catered only to those folk—until now.

Thou canst useth this as an actual Haggadah too, as the full Hebrew text be on the left, and Shakespeare's rendering be on the right. So it readeth right, which sounds like it should beest the opposite, but it be not as confusing as thou mayest thinketh.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Hi, I'm Dave Cowen, the author of four other Haggagahs. So trust me when I say that Martin, who is also the author of four other Haggadahs, knows how to write good ones, too! I'm not a Shakespearean scholar but I am a spiritual humorist, and it feels like Martin nailed that part of the equation quite well, like he did with the Emoji Haggadah, the Festivus Haggadah, and the Coronavirus Haggadah. 5 stars!” -- Dave Cowen, author of The Trump Passover Haggadah

The perfect gift for your Seder host!

The perfect gift for your Seder host!
As both a Shakespeare snob and the veteran of 50+ years of Sedarim now, I have to say this is my absolute favorite Haggadah. I was blessed to read an advance pre-publication copy of THE SHAKESPEARE HAGGADAH and absolutely love it. I predict this will be the "it" Haggadah of 2023. Buy two copies because this elegant paperback is the ideal gift for your Seder host and is great fun to have on your own table for guests to choose from. Most highly recommended!

    As the writer of this book, I reread it, proofread it, eagle-eyed it, and eyeballed it to death so many times during the writing and editing process that it can easily be considered that I read it at least once. And hey, while I'm at it, I might as well give it as much love as I possibly could. To the reader, what I wish to say is that I hope this book pulls even more people in to your seder table, in addition to all my other offerings, with more to come. Happy Passover!

    My tweens loved this book! Yes, its Shakespearean English is not entirely grammatical and yes it's not written in iambic pentameter, but it caters directly to the humor of a good subset of bookish Jewish teens, it has 433 references to Shakespeare's plays, and each English page faces the Hebrew original. Also, the translation of Chad Gadya was brilliant!

    One of the kids just started Shakespeare in high school, so this Haggadah couldn’t come at a better time! Fun, engaging, tongue-in-cheek insight into familiar text made for a worthy addition of our family Haggadot! Thank you!

    It’s a little Elizabethan in its wording, but it is not otherwise at all Shakespearian. I was hoping for something that might have been written by the bard. No iambic pentameter. No artful use of the language. I’m disappointed. I suppose my expectations were too high.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Cute concept, disastrous grammar
    Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2023
    I enjoy the idea of a Shakespeare haggadah (although the Merchant of Venice suggests that Shakespeare may not be the best role model for Jews coming out of Egypt). However, Elizabethan grammar has rules. I opened to a random page and read, "And thee shalt sayeth, 'It is the Passover sacrifice...' " "Thee" is in objective case and cannot be the subject of the clause. "Shalt" is second person singular and would work with the correct pronoun, nominative case "thou". "Sayeth" is third person singular (when there is no third person noun in the sentence) and it can't go with the helping verb "shalt". "And thou shalt say" would be correct. Nearly every sentence in the entire Haggadah has grammatical errors this grievous. I feel like the Roman legionnaire in Monty Python's Life of Brian correcting "Romanes eunt domus" to "Romani ite domum."
