A Midsummer Night's Dream

The supernatural and the mundane, the illusory and the substantial, are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic, poignant, absurd and farcical. 'Lord, what fools these mortals be!', jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him and on his master Oberon when Bottom the weaver, his head transformed into that of an ass, is embraced by the voluptuously amorous Titania.

Le Marchand de Venise ; Beaucoup de bruit pour rien ; Comme il vous plaira

Ce volume rassemble trois comédies badines et féroces : multipliant personnages, lieux et intrigues, elles peignent une grande fresque turbulente et frivole où s'enchevêtrent les thèmes de l'amour et de la vertu. La légèreté apparente du bal des masques, qu'il ait lieu à Venise, à Messine ou au coeur d'une forêt des Ardennes, vacille ici et là sous l'effet d'un souffle tragique ; au coeur de la comédie, Shakespeare déploie une réflexion sur les pouvoirs de la fiction : "Le monde entier est un théâtre, et tous, hommes et femmes, n'en sont que les acteurs. Tous ont leurs entrées et leurs sorties, et chacun y joue successivement les différents rôles d'un drame en sept âges" (Comme il vous plaira, II, 7).

Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing has long been celebrated as one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies. The central relationship, between Benedick and Beatrice, is wittily combative until love prevails. Broader comedy is provided by Dogberry, Verges and the watchmen.

Othello

This is an intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemona's love for Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice; but the envious Iago conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of racism, sexism, contested identities, and the savagery lurking within civilisation, Othello is arguably the most topical and accessible tragedy from Shakespeare's major phase as a dramatist.

Othello

This third edition of Othello offers a completely new introduction by Christina Luckyj, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of early modern theatre and culture, and demonstrating how careful attention to Shakespeare's language, staging and dramaturgy can open up fresh interpretations of the play. Tracing critical and performance trends up to the present day, Luckyj shows how the drama taps into contemporary cultural paradoxes surrounding blackness, marriage, and politics to create a powerful double perspective, illuminating the creative and destructive power of stories and of human love itself. Supplemented by an updated reading list and extensive illustrations, this edition also features revised commentary notes, offering the very best in contemporary criticism of this great tragedy.

Romeo and Juliet

Love, sex and death are the components of Shakespeare's classic story of the love of two young people which reaches across the barriers of family and convention. It encompasses great love, high drama, low comedy and a tragic ending. Romeo and Juliet is a pure tragedy of youth told in verse that is both youthful and intense. The loveliness and the music of the poetry make believable the otherwise commonplace afflictions of blighted love.
