Product Description

Shakespeare's enduring characters are set adrift in present-day Athens, but a present with a massive difference - an alternative history. Rigid class systems and `god given' monarchies of the past have not been lost. Modern technologies meet ancient tradition; and the citizens of Athens are frustrated by continuing restrictions and hierarchies. Only the forest, home to the fairies and fey spirits can offer the illicit lovers what they seek.

Ideal Visualising Tool for Reluctant Learners
I have also bought the Richard III and Romeo and Juliet for use as teaching tools. Of the three this one is my favourite, simpy because the art work is beautiful and helps the story to motor along greatly. I have scanned in key scenes and used for Year 7's (ordering panels on the interactive whiteboard, filling in word balloons, character mapping, matching names to characters, starting point for drama activities). As soon as the kids hear the word manga, they become enthusiastic and Shakespeare becomes 'fun' again.
