I get that the only way I'm ever going to understand Shakespeare is to see a visual depiction (actual play or a comic, like this one), but who exactly is the target audience for this? I don't see little kids understanding the somewhat adult humour of "I ABSOLUTELY MUST WORK FOR THIS WOMAN I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE SO MUCH SO I'LL CROSSDRESS AS A BOY" (adult as in why would a kid want to do this, I sure didn't want a job as a kid), and what person who can at least attempt to understand Shakespeare doesn't know what a NIECE is (seemingly random footnotes for vocabulary word definitions).

Okay adaptation, just strange.

Research for a performance I'll see next week.
