Seven of Shakespeare's best-known plays, including Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, receive lively comic-strip treatment. Panels running across the pages show the actors speaking select lines; brief plot summaries appear in prose beneath. In the borders a boisterous audience views and comments upon the play, providing a glimpse of the interaction between performers and playgoers. An easy introduction to the world of Shakespearean theater.
