ldquo;IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE; PLAY ON!rdquo; It is Christmas in Illyria; but Countess Oliviarsquo;s household is far from merry. Her lovelorn suitor pines for her in vain; her puritanical butler spreads chilly disapproval on her drunken uncle; and even her jester is sad. But when a set of twins are shipwrecked on separate parts of the coast; the comedy of confused identity and true love that follows melts the ice and warms things up. This original manga recreation of Shakespearersquo;s most glittering seasonal comedy relocates the action to a steampunk-inspired 19th century ndash; the era that invented the modern Christmas. Twelfth Night is part of Manga Shakespeare; a series of graphic novel adaptations of William Shakespearersquo;s plays. Drawing inspiration from Japan and using Shakespearersquo;s original texts; this series ndash; adapted by Richard Appignanesi and illustrated by leading manga artists ndash; brings to life the great Bardrsquo;s words for students; Shakespeare enthusiasts and manga fans.
