After recently reading a memoir by Olivia Hussey, the actress who portrayed Juliet in the famous Zeffirelli 1968 film, this play was on my mind quite a lot. ![]() Much to my surprise, I’ve found a nice selection of classic stories, in Manga/Graphic Novel format. As a result, I’m having a lot of fun learning about Manga, Graphic Novels, and Comics. Having gotten to an age where I’ve dipped my toes in many different genres, and sub-genres, I find that the ‘I’ve outgrown this’ or ‘aged out of’ attitude closes off many unexplored avenues and because I like to think I’m open minded, I’ve begun to reconsider areas I’ve previously closed off. But, by sheer accident, I discovered Manga covered a lot of areas, and was much more complex than I’d given it credit for. Then I discovered it was often geared towards teens or young adults, which was yet another strike against it. For me, Manga is something I flat out ignored for years because I presumed without ever giving it a fair chance that it would not be something I’d enjoy. So, I think it is safe to skip the analysis. Many have read the play in school or have seen a stage or movie adaptation at one point. ![]() We all know the basics of this story by now.
