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.

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

Depuis de longues années, Yves Bonnefoy s'est persuadé que quelque chose de décisif a été expérimenté par Shakespeare dans l'assez brève période où l'auteur de Hamlet a écrit ses Sonnets. « Il a fait de ceux-ci, précise Yves Bonnefoy, une réflexion sur la poésie, de laquelle a résulté qu'il a choisi de cesser d'écrire des poèmes ; lesquels l'avaient rendu aussi notoire que son premier théâtre, pour se consacrer entièrement à la scène : choix qui, en profondeur, était en fait celui de la poésie en un sens plus moderne que celui que son époque plaçait dans les poèmes et leur prosodie régulière. C'est un choix qui est d'ailleurs reflété, médité et même explicité dans les pièces de très exactement ou juste après le moment où furent écrits les sonnets, notamment Roméo et As you like it. Je crois qu'il y a là une approche susceptible d'éclairer tout le théâtre de Shakespeare. »

Romeo and Juliet

Films, livres, ballets, comédies musicales, le mythe de Roméo et Juliette demeure l'un des plus fertiles en termes d'adaptations et de réécritures. Le signe que les amants de Vérone sont notre miroir. Ils nous disent que l'amour et la haine peuvent conduire à la mort, que l'innocence face à l'intrigue perd souvent le combat, posant la question du destin avec une acuité inégalée. Dans cette aventure universelle, le génie de Shakespeare est celui d'un orfèvre ciselant un chant tragique bouleversant.
