Over the course of his career, Osamu Tezuka adapted many of
Shakespeare’s works. Shakespeare Manga Theater collects them into
one volume. The book includes the following: * The Merchant of
Venice (1959) * Robio and Robiette (from Astro Boy, 1965) * Macbeth
(from Vampire “The Three Fortunetellers”, 1966) * Hamlet (from
Rainbow Parakeet, 1981) * The Taming of the Shrew (from Rainbow
Parakeet, 1981) * Othello (from Rainbow Parakeet, 1982) While this
may sound like a collection of manga versions of classic plays,
they would actually be better be described as quality examples of
creative adaptation and storytelling, by a master of the craft.
Shakespeare Manga Theater is sure to be popular not just with
Tezuka fans, but also schools interested in presenting Shakespeare
in a format that is easier for readers to engage with.
