The Tragedie of Macbeth Signing With Stewart Kenneth Moore

This September, we're thrilled to invite artist Stewart Kenneth Moore to the shop for a special signing of his comic adaptation of Macbeth. Stewart will be signing on Saturday 30th September 2023, from 1-2pm.

Based on the Prague Shakespeare Company adaptation of Macbeth, the beautiful ink drawings and fantastically compositioned panels make this comic unmissable for any Shakespeare fan. Check out what publisher Clover Press say about it:

Shakespeare died over 400 years ago and no story captures the mysticism and brutality of Scottish history quite like 'Macbeth'. This graphic novel aims to tell the darkest version yet of this tale of witchcraft, murder, manipulation, and unbridled ambition...

Basing his drawings on Prague Shakespeare Company's adaptation of Shakespeare's masterpiece Scottish artist Stewart Kenneth Moore has pulled double duty by documenting a stage performance in Prague by illustrating it against the starkest memories, places and myths of his own homeland. The pacing of the panels and scene setting serves to clarify aspects of the play that can be hard to understand on the stage.

In addition to this graphic novel adaptation, this volume also includes the original play-script by William Shakespeare. The combination of both the graphic novel and original script in a durable and handsome softcover makes this the perfect addition to the shelves of avid Shakespeare readers, collectors, librarians, students, and teachers.

Stewart will be in the shop on Saturday 30th September from 1pm. Come along and grab a signed copy on the day. Also available on our website for mail-order or collection here.
