I’ve never enjoyed reading plays – I find it much easier to engage with and understand a play when it’s performed. This bridges the gap nicely, with the action “performed” through the illustrations in a comic book. Though the visuals are pretty standard and uninspiring, and Gareth Hinds’ adaptation looks more artistic, the thing that caught my attention here is that the speech bubbles contain the entire unabridged text of the play, meaning readers don’t miss out on anything. That makes this a great read simply because the original play is so good. I may read some other Classical Comics, perhaps starting with A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
