« Ma conscience a mille langues, et chaque langue raconte une histoire, et chaque histoire me condamne comme scélérat. Le parjure, le parjure, au plus haut degré, le meurtre, le meurtre cruel, au plus atroce degré, tous les crimes, poussés au suprême degré, se pressent à la barre criant tous Coupable ! coupable ! »Ô roi criminel, maître des cruautés et des traîtrises, la démesure de ton ambition t'a fait commettre les pires violences. Souviens-toi de tes victimes, le roi Henry VI, Clarence, son frère, les deux jeunes innocents exécutés dans la tour de Londres, Buckingham et tant d'autres, crains leur vengeance, car après le crime vient le châtiment, Marguerite l'a prédit...

Richard III

Noble Orsino, Vous me donnez des noms que je refuse, Je n'ai rien d'un voleur ou d'un pirate Même si, je l'avoue, je l'ai prouvé, Je fus votre ennemi. Si je suis là, C'est attiré par un pouvoir magique :

Cet ingrat, ce garçon à vos côtés, De la bouche écumante des tempêtes Je l'ai sauvé ; il n'avait plus d'espoir ;

En lui rendant la vie, c'est mon amour Que je lui ai offert, sans restriction, En me vouant à lui.

La nuit des rois ; ou ce que vous voulez

This play is named after the Twelfth Night holiday of the Christmas season. It was written around 1601 and first published in the First Folio in 1623.   Like many of Shakespeare's comedies, this one centers on mistaken identity.   The leading character, Viola, is shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria during   the opening scenes. She loses contact with her twin brother, Sebastian, whom   she believes dead. Posing as a man and masquerading as a young page under the   name Cesario, she enters the service of Duke Orsino. Orsino is in love with   the bereaved Lady Olivia, whose brother has recently died and decides to use   "Cesario" as an intermediary. Olivia, believing Viola to be a man, falls in   love with this handsome and eloquent messenger. Viola, in turn, has fallen in   love with the Duke, who also believes Viola is a man and who regards her as   his confidant.

Twelfth Night (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare

Surnommé le "Barde", William Shakespeare (1564-c.1616) est considéré de par le monde comme l'un des plus grands dramaturges de l'Histoire et l'écrivain le plus important de la littérature anglophone. Son existence est controversée, mais les nombreuses oeuvres qu'il a léguées au monde ont influencé des générations de lecteurs et d'écrivains et continuent, aujourd'hui encore, d'être mises en scène ou adaptées au cinéma. Parmi les plus célèbres, figurent "Roméo et Juliette", "Hamlet", "Othello", "Le Roi Lear" ou encore "Macbeth".

Le Jour des Rois

Il n'y a pas de saison théâtrale sans qu'une ou plusieurs pièces de Shakespeare ne soit inscrite au programme. C'est le dramaturge le plus joué dans le monde. À juste titre. Ses pièces mettent en situation des conflits humains de toujours, des peurs ancestrales, des ambitions meurtrières, des angoisses existentielles. Othello, Hamlet, Prospero, Lady Macbeth sont certes des figures historiques, mais ils nous ressemblent ou, plutôt, nous leur ressemblons toujours. Et tant qu'il y aura des hommes, les pièces de Shakespeare leur fourniront les mots pour dire leur grandeur et leur détresse, leur générosités et leur mesquinerie, leur bassesse et leur poésie.

«Cette histoire, l'homme de bien l'apprendra à son fils,Et la Crépin Crépinien ne reviendra jamaisÀ compter de ce jour jusqu'à la fin du mondeSans que de nous on se souvienne,De nous, cette poignée, cette heureuse poignée d'hommes, cette bande de frères.Car quiconque aujourd'hui verse son sang avec moiSera mon frère ; si humble qu'il soit,Ce jour anoblira sa condition.Et les gentilshommes anglais aujourd'hui dans leur litSe tiendront pour maudits de ne pas s'être trouvés ici,Et compteront leur courage pour rien quand parleraQuiconque aura combattu avec nous le jour de la Saint-Crépin.»(Acte IV, scène III).

Written around the middle of his career (1598 and 1599), Much Ado About   Nothing is one of Shakespeare's great festive comedies. The men are back from   the war, and everyone is ready for romance. The dashing young Claudio falls   for Hero, the daughter of Leonato, governor of Messina, and his friend Don   Pedro helps him secure her affection. These youthful lovers are contrasted   with the more experienced Benedick and Beatrice, who have to be tricked into   falling in love. Don Pedro's bastard brother, Don John, provides the   intrigue, and the dimwitted constable Dogberry provides the laughs.

Much Ado About Nothing (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare

Fils d'un gantier devenu bailli de Stratford, Shakespeare put étudier, mais des revers de fortune familiaux et un jeune mariage semblent l'avoir conduit à arrêter. On le suppose établi à Londres dès 1588, mais sa réputation dramaturgique naît en 1592. Son premier mécène est le comte de Southampton à qui il dédie des poèmes, genre dans lequel il excelle au vu de ses 'Sonnets' (1609). Il joue ses pièces à la cour d'Elizabeth 1ère, puis de Jacques 1er, ensuite il devient successivement actionnaire du théâtre du Globe et du Blackfriars (1608). En 1612, il rentre à Stratford. Auteur d'une oeuvre unique et intemporelle, il s'attacha à décrire les jeux du pouvoir et les passions humaines, mêlant joie et douleur, emprisonnant la vie dans ses vers. Les premières oeuvres furent marquées par leur caractère historique ('Richard III'). A partir de 1594, il développa ses comédies ('Beaucoup de bruit pour rien') et délivre sa première tragédie majeure, 'Roméo et Juliette', qu'il fera suivre d''Hamlet', d''Othello' et du 'Roi Lear'. Sa dernière pièce, 'La tempête', est une oeuvre remarquable, baignée d'ésotérisme.
