This manga recreation of Shakespeare's text transfers the action
from Ancient Rome to a future Iraq, once again facing dictatorship
after its prolonged struggles to establish a democracy. Part of the
successful Manga Shakespeare series, a fusion of classic
Shakespeare with manga visuals.
Develops understanding of Shakespeare's plays and their language
with extensive notes and activities. Encourages students to read
and enjoy Shakespeare's plays with photographs and actors'
interpretations. Contains supportive exam-style questions and
coursework suggestions at the end of each act. Provides in-depth

only through a close and careful reading of the text. The
commentary facing each page of the text has been designed to
suggest a critical interpretation of the play.
An improved, larger-format edition of the Cambridge School
Shakespeare plays, extensively rewritten, expanded and produced in
an attractive new design. An active approach to classroom
Shakespeare enables students to inhabit Shakespeare's imaginative
world in accessible and creative ways. Students are encouraged to
share Shakespeare's love of language, interest in character and
sense of theatre. Substantially revised and extended in full
colour, classroom activities are thematically organised in
distinctive 'Stagecraft', 'Write about it', 'Language in the play',
'Characters' and 'Themes' features. Extended glossaries are aligned
with the play text for easy reference. Expanded endnotes include
extensive essay-writing guidance for 'Romeo and Juliet' and
Shakespeare. Includes rich, exciting colour photos of performances
of 'Romeo and Juliet' from around the world.
Published to mark the 400th anniversary of the book's original
publication, this facsimile edition faithfully reproduces one of
the finest copies held in the British Library collections. The
significance of the First Folio cannot be underestimated. It is the
only contemporary source of eighteen of Shakespeare's plays.
Without it, performances of such popular plays as The Tempest,
Twelfth Night and Macbeth would not be possible. Changes and
corrections were made during the long printing process. Small
alterations were also made to the (now iconic) portrait of
Shakespeare created by Martin Droeshout for the title page. As a
result, no two surviving copies of the First Folio are identical
and few are complete. Of the 750 copies that were originally
published, some 200 exist today. The British Library has five
copies, one of which is complete, and it is this copy that is
presented with an introductory booklet by curators Adrian S Edwards
and Tanya Kirk.
