Provides a summary of the play, through the use of cartoons and some key scenes and speeches which are printed in full.

Carefully abridged text of the play retains Shakespeare's own words to preserve the feel of the original text-- many scenes are presented graphically in comic-strip format to link important passages-- brief but useful introduction at the beginning of each scene to orient students-- sparing use of marginal explanatory notes to ensure text does not intimidate students-- "Think about it" boxes at the end of every second scene to provoke discussion and encourage critical thinking-- supporting text uses clear and simple language without patronising students-- supported by photocopiable teacher resource books.
