A bitter feud between the Montagues and the Capulets keeps the city
of Verona, Italy, in a state of constant unrest. Despite the
enmity, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall passionately in
love. Enlisting the help of Friar Laurence, the young lovers wed in
secret, hoping that their marriage will finally unite the two
families. But things go terribly, tragically wrong. One of
Shakespeare's most widely performed plays, "Romeo and Juliet" has
been adapted for every conceivable format. Yet no adaptation --
film, television, radio, or opera -- can match the richness of the
original. This inspired graphic novel version depicts every scene
of the play in full-color illustrations, accompanied by every word
of the original text. Authentic yet easy to follow, this exciting
adaptation is ideal for purists, students, and readers who
appreciate Shakespeare's matchless verse. Also available are the
Original Text, with the Bard's original, unabridged work, and a
Quick Text version, with less dialogue for a fast-paced read.

This is the full and unabridged play as a graphic novel! 'But soft,
what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet
is the sun'! This title presents the tragic tale of doomed love,
set in Verona, Italy, where the Montagues and the Capulets
constantly feud and bring unrest to the city. So how could love
possibly survive between this pair of star-crossed lovers, Romeo
Montague and Juliet Capulet? Only Shakespeare could take such a
romantic story and turn it into a soul-searching tragedy.
This repackaged book and audio bundle edition of Romeo & Juliet
features a soundtrack that has been especially dramatised for
Classical Comics, bringing Shakespeare's most famous tragedy
vividly to life. Surround yourself in the story as you listen and
read along with the full professional cast recording, that includes
sound effects and ambience to set the scene. The leading roles are
played by two wonderful young actors: Juliet is played by
Anne-Marie Piazza (Annette in the long running radio play The
Archers) and Romeo is played by Tom Mison (Lost in Austen and many
other West End productions). Juliet Stevenson plays the Nurse and
Lady Montague, while Lord and Lady Capulet are played by John
Sessions and Patricia Hodge. The full colour graphic novel features
stunning artwork and coupled with the audio, it provides a
wonderful sensory experience.
To accompany the "Romeo & Juliet" graphic novels from Classical
Comics and to help with their application in the classroom, this
book is spiral-bound, making the pages easy to photocopy, and
includes a CD-ROM with the pages in PDF format, ideal for
whole-class teaching on whiteboards, laptops, etc or for direct
digital printing. Written by a teacher, for teachers, helping to
engage and involve students in Shakespeare's play. Suitable for
teaching ages 10-17, this book provides exercises that cover
structure, listening, understanding, motivation and character as
well as key words, themes and literary techniques. Although the
majority of the tasks focus on the use of language and
comprehension, there are also many cross-curriculum topics,
covering areas within history, ICT, drama, reading, speaking,
writing and art. An extensive Educational Links section provides
further study opportunities. Devised to encompass a broad range of
skill levels, this book provides many opportunities for
differentiated teaching and the tailoring of lessons to meet
individual needs. Includes a CD-ROM. This resource can be used
alongside the Classical Comics adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet"
as well as any traditional text. In fact, many of the activities
can stand on their own as introductions to the world of
Shakespeare.
