Brick Shakespeare: The Comedies -- A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Taming of the Shrew

In this inventive 2013 series from Skyhorse Publishing, four of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies are retold entirely through LEGO brick photography. Writer Becky Thomas and Monica Sweeney, working from the original texts of William Shakespeare, collaborate with photographer John McCann to stage A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Taming of the Shrew as playful, visually striking single-issue comics. It’s a charming, accessible entry point for newcomers and a clever novelty for longtime fans, proving the Bard’s stories can thrive in any medium.
