WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:

‘It’s a marvellous twitchy performance from Zarate’s cartoon Othello … the more anxious the hero, the closer the artist follows his darting eyes.…’ – The Guardian

‘Having found the story boring before, I think it is a good idea to have pictures. They give it atmosphere, as if you are watching a play. It has helped bring the play to life.’
Sonita, 15, Leyton High School

‘The series constitutes an excellent unpatronising introduction to Shakespeare.’ –
The Financial Times

‘Even if you don’t understand some of the language you can follow what’s happening from the expressions on the characters faces.’
Jill, 14, Sanders Draper School
