Brick Shakespeare : The Tragedies-Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar Paperback / softback
by John McCann, Monica Sweeney, Becky Thomas
Paperback / softback
Description
Enjoy four of Shakespeare’s tragedies told with LEGO bricks.
Here are Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar enacted scene by scene, captioned by excerpts from the plays.
Flip through one thousand color photographs as you enjoy Shakespeare’s iconic poetry and marvel at what can be done with the world’s most popular children’s toy. Watch the brick Hamlet give his famous “To be or not to be†soliloquy, and feel brick Ophelia’s grief as she meets her watery end.
Lady Macbeth in brick form brings new terror to “Out, out, damn spot!†and brick Romeo and Juliet are no less star-crossed for being rectangular and plastic.
The warm familiarity of bricks lends levity to Shakespeare’s tragedies while remaining true to his original language. The ideal book for Shakespeare enthusiasts, as well as a fun way to introduce children to Shakespeare’s masterpieces, this book employs Shakespeare’s original, characteristic language in abridged form.
Though the language stays true to its origins, the unique format of these well-known tragedies will give readers a new way to enjoy one of the most popular playwrights in history.
