Original Text (William Shakespeare) - Tapa blanda

"Classical Comics break down so many of the barriers that children see when confronted with that dreaded word, 'Shakespeare'. Juliet Stevenson and I really felt we were putting our shoulders to the wheel of a great cause. It's also great to try and get a voice to suit the face in the cartoon. A very different kind of work for us and, hopefully, for the children. Onward, Classical Comics!" - John Sessions, Actor

This book and audio bundle edition of Romeo & Juliet features a soundtrack that has been especially dramatised for Classical Comics, bringing Shakespeare's most famous tragedy vividly to life. Surround yourself in the story as you listen and read along with the full professional cast recording, that includes sound effects and ambience to set the scene. The leading roles are played by two wonderful young actors: Juliet is played by Anne-Marie Piazza (Annette in the long running radio play The Archers) and Romeo is played by Tom Mison (Lost in Austen and many other West End productions). Juliet Stevenson plays the Nurse and Lady Montague, while Lord and Lady Capulet are played by John Sessions and Patricia Hodge. The full colour graphic novel features stunning artwork and coupled with the audio, it provides a wonderful sensory experience.
