Coriolanus is perhaps the most brilliant political play ever written. Set in Ancient Rome, it remains a gripping psychological study of the relationship between personality and politics. The introduction to this new edition considers Shakespeare's adaptation of his historical material (Plutarch's Lives) in relation to the social and political conditions in London and Stratford at the time of the play's composition, also offering new evidence that it was written in 1608. Professor Parker examines the play's history and particularly its staging at the Blackfriars theatre, where it was probably the first of Shakespeare's plays to be presented and for which it may have been written. A thorough commentary pays special attention to the needs of actors and directors.

Vive con Romeo y Julieta la historia de amor más trágica jamás contada.

"Cymbeline" is one of the great comedy plays by William Shakespeare and one of his later ones. Near the end of his career, William Shakespeare wrote a group of beautiful and confounding plays that did not easily fit into any of his previously chosen genres, or categories of literature. These plays are neither tragedies nor comedies, though they contain elements of both at times. They also often feature exotic locations, elaborate special effects, and magic. Shakespearean critics have classified this group as Shakespeares romances. One of these romances is "Cymbeline", first performed around 1611.Gullible Cymbeline, King of Britain, takes a new wife who has an arrogant son called Cloten. Cymbelines beautiful daughter Imogen is expected to marry Cloten. Instead Imogen marries the brave, but poor Posthumus Leonatus. Cymbeline is furious when he finds out about the marriage and banishes Posthumus who goes to Rome. The couple have time to exchange love tokens and Imogen gives Posthumus a diamond ring and he gives her a bracelet. The villain of the plot is Iachimo who bets 10,000 ducats against Posthumuss diamond ring that he can seduce Imogen. Various plot lines ensue involving deceit, cross-dressing, poison and treachery. The story has a happy ending when Iachimo confesses and Imogen reveals her true identity and is reunited with Posthumus.

"La tempestad" es un drama en cinco actos en verso y prosa escrito en 1611 por el maestro William Shakespeare y estrenado el mismo año."La tempestad" está considerada como la invención más sincera y original de Shakespeare. Es tambien la summa de su cultura acumulada a traves de los años, y sobre todo de su experiencia teatral. Es ante todo un experimento en el ambito del espectaculo: explota, deliberadamente, como ninguna otra obra precedente, los recursos y trucos de escena y hace del elemento musical y de todos los efectos sonoros una estructura que recorre la obra.En este drama, compuesto al final de su carrera (y al igual que en "El sueño de una noche de verano", escrito al comienzo), Shakespeare introduce elementos sobrenaturales recurriendo al mundo maravilloso de los elfos y de las hadas, y funde admirablemente las acciones de estos seres fantasticos con las aventuras humanas, con lo que estas ultimas ganan en donosura y profundidad. ResumenUna tormenta naufraga a Antonio, Alonso, el Rey de Napoles, y su hijo Fernando en una isla cuando regresan de una boda. La tormenta fue causada por Prospero, un viejo hechicero que fue exiliado a la isla con su hija, Miranda, de Milan hace muchos años cuando sus hermanos lo traicionaron. Esta decidido a vengarse de sus hermanos por su traicion. Ferdinand esta separado de su padre y cree que esta muerto, pero se encuentra con Miranda y Prospero mientras se pasea por la isla. Inmediatamente se enamora de Miranda, que forma parte del plan de Prospero. En un principio finge oponerse al sindicato. El asistente sobrenatural de Prospero Ariel comienza a hacer trucos sobre el rey y sus hombres mientras vagan por la isla.Prospero organiza un banquete fantasma para aparecer y desaparecer repentinamente delante de Alonso, Antonio y sus hombres. Ariel aparece como una arpia y declara que Alonso, Antonio y Sebastian han sido llevados a la isla para ser castigados por lo que le hicieron a Prospero. Los hombres quedan completamente asustados, y Prospero los aprisiona.Prospero finalmente da su consentimiento para que Miranda y Fernando se casen. Entonces se siente mal por encarcelar a los hombres, asi que le dice a Ariel que los traiga para que pueda realizar su hechizo final. El revela su identidad. Alonso se disculpa, y se siente aliviado al descubrir que Ferdinand esta vivo despues de todo, y comprometido con Miranda. Prospero propone que todos regresen a Milan para la boda, donde tambien se retirara. El barco es magicamente reparado, y Prospero pide a la audiencia que lo libere con sus aplausos.

William Shakespeares "Much Ado About Nothing" is one of the Bards most popular comedies. First written and performed in 1598 or 1599, it has been performed almost constantly ever since, as generations of great Shakespearean actors and actresses take on the roles of bickering lovers Beatrice and Benedick.The play was also the basis for one of the most popular film adaptations of Shakespeare of all time: director Kenneth Branaghs 1993 version starring himself, Emma Thompson, and Denzel Washington among others. And in 2012, in between making Avengers movies, director Joss Whedon also made a highly acclaimed film adaptation.Much of the focus around Much Ado always centres on Beatrice and Benedict, two of Shakespeares greatest comic creations. But, the quarrelsome duo are actually only supporting characters in the play, and there is a lot of other action happening.Count Claudio falls in love with Hero, the daughter of his host. Heros cousin Beatrice (a confirmed spinster) and Benedict (an eternal bachelor) are each duped into believing the other is in love with them. Claudio is deceived by a malicious plot and denounces Hero as unchaste before they marry. She faints and is believed dead, but recovers to be proved innocent by a chance discovery. Benedict wins Beatrices love defending her cousins honour, and to his surprise, Claudio is reunited with Hero, who he believed dead.
