It's said that, given an infinite amount of time, a monkey hitting random keys on a typewriter will eventually type out the complete works of William Shakespeare. But we bet it wouldn't bash out this ad...
Positioning Wayne Rooney in a makeshift audition, delivering a speech from Richard II, as well as presenting Jill Scott as "the mystic being behind Stonehenge and the inception of football", A Shakespearean Love Letter to Today’s England for Nike x Palace might just be the most off-kilter football-related spot we've seen this year.
Produced by Stink UK in collaboration with Stuart Hammond for concept and creative, this sheer oddity of the film's content is held together brilliantly by directing duo Burnermunde, marking their first commercial project with the company.
