Àííîòàöèÿ: The first collection of Shakespeare—s complete works, known as —The First Folio—, is arguably the most important document in the cultural history of Europe. Without it there would be no such thing as —William Shakespeare—. It is almost a miracle that the First Folio (Complete Works of William Shakespeare) exists at all, given that playwrights tried to keep their plays out of print — mainly to avoid them being pirated — that Shakespeare never published any of his plays, and that not one of Shakespeare—s manuscripts has survived. We owe this book and the fact that we have the texts of so many of the bard—s plays to the enterprise of two actors. John Hemminge and Henry Condell, two of Shakespeare—s friends and fellow actors, edited the collection

Àííîòàöèÿ: Illustrations have been an important element of many of the most extensively read editions of Shakespeares plays, from the frontispieces to Nicholas Rowes 1709 edition to the multiple images placed within the text of Victorian editions. Through symbols the illustrations have explored language and character; by allusion to earlier paintings they have offered critical readings; and by gesture, setting and costume they have redesigned the plays within the visual vocabulary of their own times. In all these ways they offer important exchanges with contemporary social, aesthetic and critical concerns, and, despite being largely ignored by scholars, are central to the plays reception. Highly illustrated, including many images not previously reproduced, the book allows the reader to share the experience of early readers of the plays. Building on the authors earlier work in Painting Shakespeare it offers a fresh address to the tradition of visual criticism and assimilation of Shakespeares plays. A complete study of the history and tradition of illustrated editions of Shakespeare, containing 167 illustrative images from major editions.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This section is dedicated to Timon of Athens, the play by William Shakespeare. The picture is 18th century and image displayed represents the essence of the play which, we hope, will bring to life a famous scene or character from the play. The information provided in this section of william-shakespeare.info includes famous quotes / quotations, summary of the plot or story, facts about the play, a list of the cast and characters and access to the full text - script of Timon of Athens play by William Shakespeare.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A troublesome tragedy from William Shakespeare (1564-1616). Timon of Athens begins as a wealthy and generous man who gives his wealth away to artists and friends and ends as a misanthropic cynic dying in the wilderness.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In Shakespeare's bawdy bedroom farce, the dissolute Sir John Falstaff seeks to restore his declining fortunes by seducing the wife of a wealthy Windsor citizen. His ambitions go awry when two of his intended victims realize what Falstaff is up to and seek to lure him into a trap of their own. The Merry Wives of Windsor explores greed, envy and revenge, yet ends on a note of forgiveness. Shakespeare weaves an intricate plot, full of disguises and double-dealing, resulting in sparkling comedy. Falstaff ranks as one of Shakespeare's greatest characters, a man whose obvious flaws make him thoroughly human and all the more likeable.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare s most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness and death.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Among Shakespeare's plays, "Hamlet" is considered by many his masterpiece. Among actors, the role of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is considered the jewel in the crown of a triumphant theatrical career. Now Kenneth Branagh plays the leading role and co-directs a brillant ensemble performance. Three generations of legendary leading actors, many of whom first assembled for the Oscar-winning film "Henry" V, gather here to perform the rarely heard complete version of the play. This clear, subtly nuanced, stunning dramatization, presented by The Renaissance Theatre Company in association with "Bbc" Broadcasting, features such luminaries as Sir John Gielgud, Derek Jacobi, Emma Thompson and Christopher Ravenscroft. It combines a full cast with stirring music and sound effects to bring this magnificent Shakespearen classic vividly to life. Revealing new riches with each listening, this production of "Hamlet" is an invaluable aid for students, teachers and all true lovers of Shakespeare -- a recording to be treasured for decades to come.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Hamlet is Shakespeare s longest play, and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others. It was probably one of Shakespeare s most popular works during his lifetime, and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879. It has inspired many other writers—from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch—and has been described as the world s most filmed story after Cinderella.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The bitter, deformed brother of the King is secretly plotting to seize the throne of England. Charming and duplicitous, powerfully eloquent and viciously cruel, he is prepared to go to any lengths to achieve his goal - and, in his skilful manipulation of events and people, Richard is a chilling incarnation of the lure of evil and the temptation of power
