If you are not already a Patrick Stewart fan, like yours truly, you might know him from Star Trek: The Next Generation as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
He is by far one of my favorite actors, together with Brent Spinner (Data). Besides being famous for his numerous roles in movies and TV series, Patrick is also known as an amazing Shakespearean actor.
This February and March he will be performing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in one of the best known William Shakespeare’s plays, Macbeth. It’s a must see for any Shakespeare lover, or Patrick Stewart fan.
If you happen to have 2 tickets with good seats for the March 13 or 14th - contact me, I’d love to buy them from you 
BAM: Brooklyn Academy of Music

applauds
Classical Comics’
pioneering three-tier dialogue graphic novel adaptation of
Macbeth
“I’m fascinated by your approach… I find them gripping, dramatic and, although for me the original Shakespeare is always my reason for turning to these plays, I think that what you are doing in illuminating and making perhaps more lucid, especially for young people, is clever and meaningful”
Patrick Stewart
The internationally respected actor, known for successfully bridging the gap between the theatrical world of the Shakespearean stage andcontemporary film and television, has given his seal of approval to Classical Comics’ pioneering three-tier dialogue approach, in particular its forthcoming graphic novel adaptation of Macbeth. Patrick Stewart’s recent stint in Macbeth at the Gielgud Theatre in London garnered him several awards - including Best Actor at the Evening Standard Awards, and the prize for Best Shakespearean Performance at the 19th annual Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards (which he shares with Chiwetel Ejiofor for Othello) - and the production transfers to New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music on 12 February.
With its revolutionary three-tier dialogue approach, Classical Comics presents a brand new and inclusive view of the sheer genius of Shakespeare’s storytelling. Macbeth, arguably Shakespeare’s most dramatic tragedy, certainly one of his greatest works, features stunning artwork from Marvel/Spider-man illustrator Jon Haward and comic strip illustrator Nigel Dobbyn, and script adaptation by author John McDonald.
Each of Classical Comics’ graphic novel adaptations of literary classics is published in three versions: Original Text – the full, unabridged script; Plain Text – a modern English version of the original script; and Quick Text – with reduced, simplified dialogue for easier and faster reading.
