The greatest comics are often those based on real-life stories. The ones found in this project are some of the most incredible ever. Only 43 hours left to support a VERY important publishing project!

The first review of our ROMEO VS. JULIET: A KILL SHAKESPEARE ADVENTURE:

"Aye, ‘tis no high-brow bore. ‘Tis accessible, thrilling, and most importantly, bloody brilliant.

VERDICT: Buy it, read it, and cry “Havoc!” and let slip the geeks of war."

ROMEO VS. JULIET as an entry point to the KILL SHAKESPEARE world. If you've read FIRST FOLIO (and SECOND FOLIO, to be released in Oct!) you'll know everything that's going on. If you haven't read ANY of them... you'll still be able to follow along easily.

Thoroughly enjoyed last night's energetic production of Ken Branagh's KING LEAR at The Shed! Some standout performances and (as always) an insightful look at youth, aging, folly and ego.
