His theatrical career likely began in the mid-1580s, and between then and 1613, he composed such works as Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, The Henriad, Julius Caesar, Othello, and many more.

In a noted departure from the comic, the television adaptation of The Sandman doesn’t have the British warlock John Constantine (who has previously been portrayed by Matt Ryan and Keanu Reeves). There’s one major change, however, that’s causing a bit of a stir. A minor change, like Dream’s hair shrinking from its otherworldly size to a more reasonable tease, is easy for most people to come around on. For Netflix’s The Sandman, there’s both minor and major changes from Neil Gaiman’s much revered comic book series. A great adaptation makes it so that fans barely even think about changes made along the way poor attempts to bring concepts to the screen make any changes appear like a gross oversight from what fans actually wanted. The challenge of adapting a famous comic book or novel is that there will always be fans who aren’t happy with the inevitable changes a show will have to make. ![]() ![]() This can be a drawing table or merely a flat board which you hold on your lap.
