The play's the thing
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king!
Denmark is in turmoil. The palace is seething with treachery, suspicion and intrigue. On a mission to avenge his father's murder, Prince Hamlet tries to claw free of the moral decay all around him. But in the ever-deepening nest of plots, of plays within plays, nothing is what it seems. Doubt and betrayal torment the Prince until he is propelled into a spiral of unstoppable violence.
In this sumptuous staging of Shakespeare's enigmatic play on the page, Nicki Greenberg has created an extraordinary visual feast that sweeps up all in its path as the drama intensifies both on stage and off.
An astounding work - unique, gripping and, as ever, tragic.

About the author

Nicki Greenberg is a writer and illustrator with a special interest in sequential art narrative - a fancy way of describing comics.
Nicki's first books, The Digits series, were published when she was fifteen years old, and sold more than 380,000 copies. Since then, she has devoted most of her ink to comics, but has also written and illustrated fiction, non-fiction and picture books for children.
At seventeen, Nicki fell in love with The Great Gatsby. Almost ten years later, she set out to pay tribute to F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel by interpreting it in comic art form. It took more than six years to complete this enormous labour of love.
This mad undertaking was followed by three years' passionate work on Shakespeare's Hamlet, which she finally staged on the page in 2010.

Nicki lives in Melbourne, Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars This amazing book uses the original Shakespearean language and a trippy
Verified PurchaseThis amazing book uses the original Shakespearean language and a trippy, dreamscape visual vocabulary to bring Hamlet to the page in an altogether new way. The stylized figures are minimalist, yet convey important nuances about characters. The details are sometimes a little jarring, in the way that art can be; Gertrude has prominent, animal-like dugs that are constantly on display, which is an effective way to invoke some of the oedipal issues that directors often draw out of the play. The backgrounds are vibrant, swirling, fantastical (and occasionally nightmarish - again, in a good way), working in perfect contrast to the black outline figures. My only regret is that this title isn't easily available in an inexpensive format for use in a course on Shakespearean adaptation I'm teaching - this is one of the more interesting visual treatments I've seen.
