Over the course of his career, Osamu Tezuka adapted many of Shakespeare's works. Shakespeare Manga Theater collects them into one volume.
The book includes the following:
• The Merchant of Venice (1959)
• Robio and Robiette (from Astro Boy, 1965)
• Macbeth (from Vampire “The Three Fortunetellers”, 1966)
• Hamlet (from Rainbow Parakeet, 1981)
• The Taming of the Shrew (from Rainbow Parakeet, 1981)
• Othello (from Rainbow Parakeet, 1982)
While this may sound like a collection of manga versions of classic plays, they would actually be better be described as quality examples of creative adaptation and storytelling, by a master of the craft.
Shakespeare Manga Theater is sure to be popular not just with Tezuka fans, but also schools interested in presenting Shakespeare in a format that is easier for readers to engage with.
