Manga 'Macbeth', graphic novel 'Romeo', it's Shakespeare for 21st century readers


Think the only way you could plough through Shakespeare’s plays is with a literature degree – barring which, a very large cup of strong coffee? Think again. His original works may be a tad challenging for novices, but his stories, themes and characters are so universal they’ve been reimagined, redefined and revisited in practically every way possible.

The Bard must have done something right to have his works still fascinating us 400 years after they were penned!
