When something is well - save , it ’s not rare to hear someone touch to it as “ Shakespeare . ” For example , hypothetically , someone might say , “ The script for Ghostbusters was so good , it ’s like Shakespeare . ” But what if Ghostbusters actually was pen by Shakespeare ?
That was the question posed by Jordan Monsell . And not only did he pose it , he answer it . His new Holy Scripture Ministers of Grace : The Unauthorized Shakespearean Parody of Ghostbusters takes Ghostbusters , originally compose by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis , and translates it into iambic pentameter and other variety of period prose . The result is the same Ghostbusters you jazz , but in a way you never expect .
For a taste , here ’s a brief excerption from Ministers of Grace . It ’s when the Ghostbusters go out on their first call .
INNKEEPER
I humbly thank thee gentles for thy speed . Our invitee develop uneasy by the hr and start To question me for reasons have I none .
RAY

Nay ! Good sphere ! We do not speak of it . I wish it were removed before the dawn .
Verily . Now ataraxis just sir . Custom hath made it in we a property of simplicity .

Wilt thou follow ?
I ’d rather keep my head to manducate and immerse .
It hath pass to me of late that a successful test of our weapons have we not .
I do charge myself .
As do I.
The fault , devout Egon , is not in our star but in ourselves , that we are underling .
Wherefore be turbulent ? For upon our binding have we unlicensed boxwood of rough magic .
Agreed . Are we contented ?
EGON charges RAY ’s pack , then backs aside .
