Boris Starling

    January 1, 1969

    Boris Starling crafts gripping thrillers where death often features prominently, sometimes even deservedly. His literary journey began with an early, albeit plagiarized, display of storytelling talent that foreshadowed his distinctive, often violent, narrative style. Starling's novels, published under his own name and a pseudonym, delve into the darker aspects of human nature, consistently building tension towards impactful, often brutal, conclusions. Beyond his acclaimed novels, he has also made his mark as a screenwriter and creator of a successful television franchise.

      'Two parties, both alike in dishonour, in fair Westminster, where we lay our scene...' Written by the Bard himself, with a little help from parody writer and novelist Boris Starling, this wonderful 'comedy of errors' will retell the tragic story of the UK's acrimonious break from the EU, with our most prominent politicians the key characters in this Shakespearean pastiche: Michael Gove in the plotting 'Iago' role, the doomed David Cameron as 'Macbeth', Theresa May as 'Julia Caesar', Jeremy Corbyn unable to decide on anything as 'Hamlet', and, of course, Boris Johnson as the feckless old rogue 'Sir John Falstaff'. A most original take of the defining political era of our time - this will be the perfect satire for anyone interested in politics, humour, or even a little bit of Am-Dram.
