Romeo and Juliet is not only one of the most popular of Shakespeares plays; it is one of the most popular stories in the world. Yet while the play has rarely been off the stage; it has undergone radical transformations in performance. It has been abridged; rewritten; given a happy ending; reset in other times and places; and adapted into other media. While retaining its appeal as a definitive love story; Romeo and Juliet has been a dynamic and unstable performance text; endlessly reinvented to suit differing cultural needs. This edition provides a detailed; thorough and readable account of the play in production. The introduction examines shifts in interpretation; textual adaptations and staging innovations over four centuries of theatrical production. The commentary gives detailed examples of how different performers; from Henry Irving and Ellen Terry to Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes; have brought life and death to Shakespeares star-crossed lovers.

I love all the different designs of flowers in this one. I color most of my pictures with gel pens and then make them into framed pictures to sell or give to friends. Even though some of the pictures seem to not print out as well as other. I am able to draw the lines in with a fine tipped felt pen. I recommend books like these as they are good for relaxing and just putting aside the days cares and worries and doing something that at the end will be something you created with your imagination of colors.I like this better as you can print them as many times as you want and give them to friends to enjoy also. I do highly recommend getting an adult coloring book some colored pencils and have some fun and relax. I have downloaded quite a few of these kinds of coloring books and they have all been a joy to color.My hope is that these reviews are helpful to others.

Simple and elegantBy mimihornsbyI love how simple the designs are. It leaves a lot of room for creativity with shading and mixed colored shading. I like how its actual designs and not just random geometric shapes put together to make a picture. This took alot of careI have pdf version of this one. Why pdf?You can either print these out ot use them in a painting app on your smart phone. Or you can print them and trace them on to what type of paper you want so you can really paint them. Pdf is such a clever way of getting a Coloring book and reusing it over and over.I am s frustrated with people saying these are pointless. Print them. Put them in a Coloring app0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Designs are too Detailed. Dont think it would be relaxing.By Write On! JolynnMost of the designs do not look like flowers. The few that do look like flowers are nice. Most of the book seem like detailed designs and paisleys. I guess they could be imaginary flowers. Because the designs are so detailed. I dont think it would be as relaxing. Id be worrying about not going out of the lines more. and spending a lot of time changing different colors to use.I did like the educational introduction for Pre K children in the beginning. It had reasons why coloring is important for developing motor skills .It was interesting. it also seemed out of place for an Adult Coloring Book.
