Four Plays by William Shakespeare in Graphic Novel Format
Requirements: .PDF reader, 40 mb
Overview: William Shakespeare was born on April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—their older daughter, Susanna, and the twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood.
The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent, not in Stratford, but in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He had a successful career in London as a playwright and actor and was a shareholder in the acting company the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men. He produced most of his plays between 1589 and 1613. Sometime between 1610 and 1613, Shakespeare is thought to have retired from the stage and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616.
Genre: General Fiction/Classics
As You Like It In graphic novel format, William Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy in which Rosalind, banished to the Forest of Arden and disguised as a boy, reunites with her true love Orlando.
As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 or early 1600. As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle’s court, accompanied by her cousin Celia and Touchstone the court jester, to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden.
The Comedy of Errors: Shakespeare’s play about two sets of identical twins accidently separated at birth in graphic novel format.
The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare’s early plays. It is his shortest and one of his most farcical comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from slapstick and mistaken identity, in addition to puns and word play. The Comedy of Errors (along with The Tempest) is one of only two of Shakespeare’s plays to observe the classical unities. It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen and musical theatre.
The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins that were accidentally separated at birth. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession.
Cymbeline The works of William Shakespeare come alive in these stunning graphic novels adaptation using the original Shakespearean dialog. The world-class art, rivalry, revenge, and romance of Cymbeline will capture the attention of reluctant readers.
Cymbeline, also known as Cymbeline, King of Britain or The Tragedy of Cymbeline, is a play by William Shakespeare, set in Wales and based on legends concerning the early Celtic British King Cunobeline. Although listed as a tragedy in the First Folio, modern critics often classify Cymbeline as a romance. Like Othello and The Winter’s Tale, it deals with the themes of innocence and jealousy. While the precise date of composition remains unknown, the play was certainly produced as early as 1611
The plot of Cymbeline is based on a tale in the chronicles of Raphael Holinshed and is ultimately derived from part of the Historia Regum Britanniae of Geoffrey of Monmouth about the real-life British monarch Cunobelinus. Shakespeare, however, freely adapts the legend and adds entirely original sub-plots.
Henry VIII A relling in comic book format of Shakespeare’s play about the life of the sixteenth-century English monarch.
Queen Katherine of Aragon is upright and virtuous and married to King Henry VIII. Henry was a proud and willful monarch who defies Rome’s ban on divorce to marry Ann Bullen (Boleyn). Cardinal Wolsey, the Powerful Lord Chancellor of England and accomplished politician, attempts to bend Rome to the king’s wishes in the Bullen matter. Later, near death, he repents his unpriestly activity. Katherine is divorced and sent to Kimbolton Castle and Anne marries King Henry VIII to become his queen.
