À l'heure où les elfes s'éveillent, les humains s'endorment, et il est demandé au spectateur, victime consentante, de croire à la communication improbable de ces deux mondes. Les uns habitent la cité, régie par une loi anti-naturelle et imposée ; les autres demeurent au plus profond des bois, lieu où les lois irrationnelles de l'amour ont libre cours. Thésée juge les amoureux, Obéron les réconcilie grâce à un philtre d'amour qui, tel une encre magique, engendre dans le coeur des amants, comme dans l'intrigue, des bouleversements baroques.

Measure for Measure is among the most passionately discussed of Shakespeare’s plays. In it, a duke temporarily removes himself from governing his city-state, deputizing a member of his administration, Angelo, to enforce the laws more rigorously. Angelo chooses as his first victim Claudio, condemning him to death because he impregnated Juliet before their marriage.Claudio’s sister Isabella, who is entering a convent, pleads for her brother’s life. Angelo attempts to extort sex from her, but Isabella preserves her chastity. The duke, in disguise, eavesdrops as she tells her brother about Angelo’s behavior, then offers to ally himself with her against Angelo.

It focuses on   two friends, Valentine and Proteus, whose friendship is disrupted by their   mutual passion for the lovely Silvia. Proteus jilts Julia in order to pursue   Silvia; she responds by enlisting the help of her maid Lucetta to dress as a   boy and go after Proteus. The play also includes some wonderfully comic   supporting characters, particularly Launce and his scene-stealing dog   Crab.

La tempête

When the Three Witches prophesy that Macbeth, a Scottish general, will become king, they unleash a series of events that prove tragic for all involved. Spurred by ambition, Macbeth and his ruthless Lady will stop at nothing, including murder, to make the throne theirs. Beginning with the murder of King Duncan and culminating with Lady Macbeth's descent into madness and Macbeth's final clash with Macduff, Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare's greatest dramatic works. Known as "The Bard of Avon, " William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare's works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare's innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.
