  • As You Like It
    As You Like It is perhaps Shakespeare's sunniest comedy, but there are patches of shade amidst the love-drenched brightness. Political corruption, fraternal rivalry, and melancholy all serve as thematic counterpoints to Shakespeare's investigation of how release from the constraints of court, city, and even gender can permit a profound development of the self. In this manga, the Arcadian beauty of...

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream
    Shakespeare's enduring characters are set adrift in present-day Athens, but a present with a massive difference – an alternative history. Rigid class systems and 'god given' monarchies of the past have not been lost. Modern technologies meet ancient tradition; and the citizens of Athens are frustrated by continuing restrictions and hierarchies. Only the forest, home to the fairies and fey...

    Twelfth Night
    Shakespeare turned a tale of unrequited love, family dispute, and fatal shipwreck into a miraculously evergreen Christmas favourite. At the beginning of the story, everyone is alone; by the end, everyone—well, almost everyone—has found their other half. Twelfth Night is reimagined by Li as a 'steampunk' world of snowy mountain tops and lush green valleys.
