Macbeth Graphic Novel by Russell Punter

Macbeth Graphic Novel by Russell Punter

Shakespeare's plays are part of our cultural heritage - every child is sure to come across at least one during their school life, and it's quite likely to be Macbeth. This accessible version of the story is told in picture strip to help both children and adults unravel the complexities of Shakespeare's language and plot. A well-crafted book which will provide a solid base for watching or studying the play.

No doubt Macbeth is my favourite of Shakespeare's plays and this graphic version has great appeal across ages from around ten to mid-secondary with its vibrant comic strip illustrations and updated language
This is probably the most successful graphic adaptation of the Bard's plays I've seen and for the purists there are some original lines included, italicised for easy recognition, a brief introduction including the cast of main characters and a mini-essay to conclude with factual information about both the playwright and the history of Macbeth.
All in all, either as an addition to your graphic collection or as one to share with your English literature teachers, this one ticks all the boxes.
