The future - a divided world. A great quake divides our planet. Separate colonies have formed and the state of Denmark has grown seemingly prosperous. Its founding family is wealthy; their residence a palace equal to those of ages past.

Success, though, breeds corruption - and it could be that the greatest threat of all, over and above challenges from other states, comes from within the walls of Elsinore. The young Hamlet, grieving over his father's death, is plunged into a dark world of misgiving and suspicion when the ghost of his sire appears to him...

  • As You Like It
    As You Like It is perhaps Shakespeare's sunniest comedy, but there are patches of shade amidst the love-drenched brightness. Political corruption, fraternal rivalry, and melancholy all serve as thematic counterpoints to Shakespeare's investigation of how release from the constraints of court, city, and even gender can permit a profound development of the self. In this manga, the Arcadian beauty of...

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream
    Shakespeare's enduring characters are set adrift in present-day Athens, but a present with a massive difference – an alternative history. Rigid class systems and 'god given' monarchies of the past have not been lost. Modern technologies meet ancient tradition; and the citizens of Athens are frustrated by continuing restrictions and hierarchies. Only the forest, home to the fairies and fey...

    Twelfth Night
    Shakespeare turned a tale of unrequited love, family dispute, and fatal shipwreck into a miraculously evergreen Christmas favourite. At the beginning of the story, everyone is alone; by the end, everyone—well, almost everyone—has found their other half. Twelfth Night is reimagined by Li as a 'steampunk' world of snowy mountain tops and lush green valleys.
