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.
Colin is an ambitious door-to-door salesman on the verge of 'making
it' as the owner of his own sales office. And the future is looking
good.'First thing I'm going to buy when I get my own office is a
Porsche Boxster...'But when the terms of his promotion change
without warning, Colin and his team find themselves with just five
days to achieve a new sales target - and to prevent his rival,
Paul, from being promoted in his stead. Colin has to keep his
disgruntled team from 'negging out' while a gang of ruthless debt
collectors are getting ever closer. Of course, everything is going
to be fine, more than fine, in fact...but meanwhile, he runs out of
coins in the phone box and the boss isn't taking his calls.As
Colin's grasp on reality dissolves, we see how the relentless focus
on positive thinking - in the face of exploitative management, pay
and conditions - leads to delusion, vulnerability, failure and,
finally, human tragedy.Set amid the rain-lashed estates of southern
England, The Opportunity is a darkly disturbing, stylish and
compelling character study, set to become a classic of graphic
noir.
