- Summary:
- Macbeth: The Manga Edition will be a hit with both manga readers and Shakespeare fans. A four-page essay at the beginning ties Shakespeare and manga together; the rest of the book is taken up with the manga play itself. So, there should be strong carryover between those people who are manga readers and those teachers/students who want a new and unique way to read the plays.
- Unlike any other attempt to marry manga and Shakespeare, our Shakespeare manga is true to the original context of the play-- we don't take Macbeth and place him in a setting/time that's not relevant to Shakespeare's original and intended time/setting. You could say that ours is "truer" to the play.
