YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE GREAT BARD!You never expected it to be easy did you, Marcia?

In the past, Shakespeare has not been made accessible to young people in Britain. Retellings should be seen as an introduction to the original, a reanimation, not as a desecration. It is not easy to retell the plays. Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre showed Marcia Williams how the audience interacted with the plays and therefore how to recreate them by involving the reader in a similar way. The many layers of a comic strip mirror the elements of a theatrical production. The reader is the audience and participates in the performance. The comic strip allows each child to respond in a way that suits him or her and get the most from their involvement.
