The Tragedie of Macbeth

Shakespeare died over 400 years ago, and no story captures the mysticism and brutality of Scottish history quite like The Tragedie of Macbeth. This graphic novel aims to tell the darkest version yet of this tale of witchcraft, murder, manipulation, and unbridled ambition.

Basing his drawings on the Prague Shakespeare Company's adaptation of Shakespeare's masterpiece, Scottish artist Stewart Kenneth Moore has pulled double duty by documenting a stage performance in Prague. He illustrates it against the starkest memories, places, and myths of his own homeland. The pacing of the panels and scene setting serves to clarify aspects of the play that can be hard to understand on the stage.

In addition to this graphic novel adaptation, this volume also includes the original playscript by William Shakespeare. The combination of both the graphic novel and the original script in a durable and handsome softcover makes this the perfect addition to the shelves of avid Shakespeare readers, collectors, librarians, students, and teachers.
