King Lear (Manga Shakespeare Series)
I'm all for setting Shakespeare's plays in other eras to clarify the place and ideas for people today. Even so, I was taken aback to find KING LEAR set during the colonial wars of the 1750, with Lear and his court portrayed as members of the Iroquois confederacy, and their British and French allies playing some other characters, such as the Dukes of France and Burgundy. This took a while to get used to, and it seemed odd when one Native American called a frontiersman (Gloucester), "Lord."
I'm not sure that it ever really worked; it is just too strange, but I was able to accept the change of venue most of the time. There are some very smart things done with the art, the cutting creates surprisingly few problems, and the whole Fool/Cordelia matter is given a thought provoking (and wrong) twist. I do think the approach was wrongly conceived, but after that the executions is quite good.
