Gareth Hinds’ stylish graphic adaptation on Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy offers modern touches -including a diverse cast underscoring the story’s universality. She’s a Capulet. He’s a Montague. But when Romeo and Juliet first meet, they don’t know they’re from rival families – and when they find out, they don’t care. Their love is honest and raw and all-consuming. But it’s also dangerous. How much will they have to sacrifice before they can be together? In a masterful adaptation faithful to Shakespeare’s original text, Gareth Hinds transports readers to the sun-washed streets and market squares of Shakespeare’s Verona, vividly bringing the classic play to life on the printed page. This is one of Shakespeare’s most loved and most widely taught plays. Gareth Hinds has established himself as a respectful and innovative adaptor of classic texts to the graphic-novel format. Like Gareth’s other editions of Shakespeare, this one uses Shakespeare’s original language as much as possible. Artwork and format give the story a modern edge; cast is multiracial.
