Read This Week's Spectator?

A real treat in the winning entry to the "Reprogramming" competition.

Hope I'm not infringing copyright with my plug for the Speccie, but here's part of the preamble:

"In Competition No. 3012 you were invited to change a letter in the title of a well-known play and submit a programme note for the new production.

Thanks to Steven Joseph, who suggested this excellent competition topic. David Silverman’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Deaf started well... Other promising titles ...included The Cheery Orchard, A Waste of Honey and The Wind in the Pillows. And no one, regrettably, did justice to The ***’s Opera.

I admired A.H. Harker’s Cook Back in Anger — ‘an intense investigation of the stresses that competitors in Bake Off and Masterchef bring to their home lives…As they return unsuccessfully from their respective heats to the intimacy of their own kitchen..."

Winning entry ?

"The Book of Moron, which began life as a musical adaptation of The Art of the Deal...".
