Venus et Adonis

Troilus et Cressida

Roméo aimait Rosaline. Lysandre aimait Hermia et Démétrius Héléna. Tout à coup, comme en dansant, les hommes changent de cavalières. Juliette apparaît à Roméo et leurs lèvres se joignent au milieu du bal. Une nuit d'été, un lutin effleure les paupières d'un homme endormi, à son réveil il en aime une autre. Illumination pour Roméo et Juliette, illusion pour les amants du Songe, l'amour est fou. Shakespeare en chante la douce et terrible folie, l'enchantement quand il donne l'amour de la vie, le désespoir quand il l'anéantit et appelle la mort. Truculence et humour, fantaisie charme et poésie, Shakespeare parle toutes les langues d'un monde universel. Roméo et Juliette sont le symbole de l'amour parfait et l'on voudrait que l'alouette n'ait jamais chanté après le rossignol.

The Tragedy of King Richard the Second is a play written by William Shakespeare around 1595 and based on the life of King Richard II of England.   It is the first part of a tetralogy referred to by scholars as the Henriad,   followed by three plays concerning Richard's successors: Henry IV, Part I;   Henry IV, Part II; and Henry V. The play, set around the year 1398, traces   the fall from power of the last king of the house of Plantagenet, Richard II,   and his replacement by the first Lancaster king, Henry IV (Henry   Bolingbroke).
Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the   eminent critic Sidney Lee.  This book   was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published   in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National   Biography.

He is often   called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".  His extant works, including some   collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative   poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is   uncertain.

Richard II (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare

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

Roméo et Juliette est l'oeuvre la plus célèbre d'un auteur à qui l'on doit les plus grands classiques de l'histoire dramatique. Autant dire qu'il s'agit là d'une pièce qui confine à l'universel, puisqu'elle constitue l'illustration la plus aboutie de l'innocence des sentiments amoureux. Amours de jeunesse, élans indifférents aux conventions ou à la bienséance : Roméo et Juliette se révèlent l'un à l'autre et par-là même découvrent chacun leur véritable nature. La force (et surtout l'immédiateté) du lien qui les unit symbolise une certaine forme d'idéal humain, généreux et affranchi de toute contingence. C'est précisément cette "arrogance" d'un sentiment qui se suffit à lui-même que le destin va poursuivre avec violence... Car la loi clanique refuse que l'on se place en marge des liens du sang, et ni Juliette ni Roméo ne peuvent oublier qu'ils appartiennent à des familles rivales. Victimes de la fatalité plus que de leurs dilemmes respectifs, les jeunes héros subissent la violence d'un monde qui s'acharne contre l'innocence et la pureté. On ne cesse de s'émerveiller devant la force tragique et le lyrisme spontané de cette oeuvre fondatrice. --Lenaïc Gravis et Jocelyn Blériot

Roméo et Juliette

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a world of violence and generational conflict in which two young people fall in love and die because of that love. The story is rather extraordinary in that the normal problems faced by young lovers are here so very large. It is not simply that the families of Romeo and Juliet disapprove of the lover's affection for each other; rather, the Montagues and the Capulets are on opposite sides in a blood feud and are trying to kill each other on the streets of Verona. Every time a member of one of the two families dies in the fight, his relatives demand the blood of his killer. Because of the feud, if Romeo is discovered with Juliet by her family, he will be killed. Once Romeo is banished, the only way that Juliet can avoid being married to someone else is to take a potion that apparently kills her, so that she is burried with the bodies of her slain relatives. In this violent, death-filled world, the movement of the story from love at first sight to the union of the lovers in death seems almost inevitable.What is so striking about this play is that despite its extraordinary setting (one perhaps reflecting Elizabethan attitudes about hot-blooded Italians), it has become the quintessential story of young love. Because most young lovers feel that they have to overcome giant obstacles in order to be together, because they feel that they would rather die than be kept apart, and especially because the language Shakespeare gives his young lovers is so exquisite, allowing them to say to each other just what we would all say to a lover if we only knew how, it is easy to respond to this play as if it were about all young lovers rather than about a particular couple in a very unusual world. (When the play was rewritten in the eighteen century as The History and Fall of Caius Marius, the violent setting became that of a particularly discordant period in classical Rome; when Leonard Berstein rewrote the play as West Side Story, he chose the violent world of New York street gangs.)

Sir John Falstaff, vieux chevalier naïf et jovial, désire courtiser Mistress Page et Mistress Ford, deux commères de la cour de Windsor. Il va pour ce faire envoyer à chacune la même lettre, se contentant de modifier la signature. Les deux femmes démasquent la manœuvre de Falstaff, à son insu. Elles décident alors de se jouer de lui. Cette pièce a été écrite par Shakespeare (1564-1616) en 1602 en moins de deux semaines à la demande de la Reine Elizabeth Ire, qui souhaitait à tout prix voir Falstaff - personnage de Henri IV - amoureux. Baignée dans une atmosphère pastorale et champêtre où se mêlent farce et féerie, cette comédie de mœurs est l'une des plus légères et des plus originales de Shakespeare.
