- Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse. 
King Richard
- Slave, I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die.
I think there be six Richmonds in the field; Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
A horse ! a horse ! my kingdom for a horse !
they pass on.

- Manant, j'ai misé ma vie sur un coup de dé et j'en veux courir la chance. Je crois qu'il y a six Richmond sur le terrain : j'en ai tué cinq aujourd'hui à sa place. Un cheval ! Un cheval ! Mon royaume pour un cheval !
Ils sortent.

This edition pays especial attention to the history and range of theatrical interpretation, in which famous actors, from the time of Garrick to the present, have appeared as the sparring lovers Benedick and Beatrice. A full commentary includes annotation of the many sexual jokes in the play that have been obscured by the complexity of Elizabethan language. In this new edition, Travis D. Williams reviews recent stage, television, film and critical interpretations of the play, considering treatment of the play's special interest in language, bodies and gender.

King John (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare

After thwarting a rebellion that threatened his throne, King Henry IV's attention is now more directly focused on his son and heir, Prince Hal. Hal is still distanced from the court, spending his time in frivolous ways, while his former companion, Falstaff, finds nothing but trouble in the London underworld. But as Hal witnesses his father's declining health, he must begin to take his responsibility to the throne more seriously. Henry IV, Part II is one of four connected plays about successive British monarchs, including Richard II, Henry IV, Part I and Henry V. 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 III is a historical play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in approximately 1592. It depicts the Machiavellian rise to   power and subsequent short reign of Richard III of England. The play   chronicles Richard's dramatic rise and fall. Shakespeare famously portrays him   as a "deformed hunchback" who ruthlessly lies, murders, and   manipulates his way to throne before being taken down by the guy who becomes   King Henry VII (whose reign ends the Wars of the Roses and ushers in the   Tudor dynasty). Despite his wickedness, Richard is the kind of villain that   audiences just love to hate.

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

Macbeth, duc de Glamis, cousin et fidèle chef des armées de Duncan, roi d'Écosse, s'illustre par son courage et sa persévérance, menant son armée à la victoire, dans une bataille qui oppose la Norvège à l'Écosse. Sur le chemin du retour, il rencontre trois sorcières qui l'accueillent en lui donnant trois titres différents: le duc de Glamis, le duc de Cawdor, et le futur roi. Puis, sans donner plus d'explications, elles disparaissent. Peu de temps après, deux seigneurs envoyés par Duncan viennent annoncer à Macbeth que le Roi le nomme duc de Cawdor en guise de récompense. La question se pose: les prédictions des sorcières éveillent-elles en Macbeth le désir de se faire couronner, ou participent-elles de la fatalité qui le pousse inexorablement vers son Destin? Toujours est-il que Macbeth explique à son épouse cette rencontre, et que cette dernière le pousse illico à tuer Duncan en visite dans leur château. Macbeth devient Roi, après la fuite des enfants De Duncan. Débute alors un règne de peur, de terreur, de meurtres qui conduiront Macbeth à sa chute, à sa propre mort.

Macbeth

A vivacious woman and a high-spirited man both claim that they are determined never to marry. But when their friends trick them into believing that each harbours secret feelings for the other, they begin to question whether their witty banter and sharp-tongued repartee conceals something deeper.

Mesure pour Mesure (Measure for Measure en anglais) est une pièce de William Shakespeare, à l'origine classée dans le premier in-folio comme comédie. C'est une des pièces « problématiques » du dramaturge qui passent pour inclassables.

Parue pour la première fois dans le premier in-folio de 1623, elle a probablement été composée au début du XVIIE siècle puisque la première mention écrite d'une représentation date de 1604. La pièce aborde la question de la grâce, de la justice, de la vérité et comment elles s'articulent sur l'orgueil ou l' humilité, la rédemption et la chute : « Il en est que le péchéélève et d'autres que la vertu fait chuter. »

Cette pièce a été conçue dans l'époque dite "pessimiste" de Shakespeare. Il s'agit pour lui de peindre les maux et les tares les plus corrosives de l'âme humaine. Ici, il révèle la perversion latente dissimulée dans la vertu la plus austère.

Bien que l' intrigue se déroule à Vienne, il est tentant de relier cette intrigue sur la liberté des mours et sur l' hypocrisie qui résulte d' un excès de rigueur à ce sujet, au puritanisme qui prévalait dans la patrie de Shakespeare à l' époque élisabéthaine.
