Hamlet, Shakespeare's most popular play, is always fresh and intriguing, even after four centuries. Written at the same time as Montaigne's essays, it addresses many of the same philosophical concerns.

Mucho ruido y pocas nueces, esta comedia en cinco actos, en verso y prosa, de William Shakespeare fue escrita en la forma en que la poseemos en 1598, pero probablemente tuvo una primera redacci n en la juventud del autor. Fue impresa en 1600 y en 1623. El motivo dram tico central, el del amante inducido a enga o por medio de una persona que adopta el parecido de su amada (antiguo motivo que ya se encuentra en las Aventuras de Quereas y Calirro , de Carit n de Afrodisia), fue extra do por Shakespeare de las Novelas de Matteo Bandello (novela XXII), en la versi n de Fran ois de Belleforest (Histoires Tragiques, III, 1569), y del Orlando Furioso de Ludovico Ariosto (historia de Ginevra y Ariodante). Las agudas discusiones de Benedicto y Beatriz parecen inspiradas en las de Gaspare Pallavicino y de Emilia Pia en El cortesano de Baldassare Castiglione, traducido por sir Thomas Hoby en 1561.

Gjendikting ved Edvard Hoem. Tragedien om kong Lear er eit av William Shakespeares meisterverk. Den aldrande kong Lear ønsker å trekke seg tilbake samtidig som han vil halde på makta. Han vil dele alt han eig, mellom døtrene sine, Goneril, Regan og Cordelia. Men ikkje likt. Kor stor del kvar av dei får, vil bli bestemt ut frå kor høgt dei elskar han. Dei to eldste nyttar falsk smiger for å vinne farens gunst. Cordelia, den yngste og farens yndling, nektar å rose far sin for å oppnå fordelar, og blir forvist frå riket. Ønsket om smiger gjer kongen blind for svik, medan han mistrur kjærleik og skyver frå seg dei som er lojale. Det fører han sjølv og riket hans ut i den endelege katastrofen.

Femte og næstsidste bind af Niels Brunses nye, komplette Shakespeareoversættelse, som Gyldendal udgiver i seks bind. De seks skuespil i dette bind V omfatter både nogle af de bedst kendte Shakespeare-tragedier: Othello, Kong Lear og Macbeth, de sjældnere opførte komedier Lige for lige og Når enden er god, er alting godt og det meget sjældent spillede Timon fra Athen, der er en mellemting mellem tragedie og moralsk satire. Alle stykkerne er formodentlig skrevet i tidsrummet 1604-1606, hvor Shakespeare havde nået den fulde udfoldelse af sin dramatiske kunnen og sin sprogkunst, der undertiden udfordrede hans modersmål på helt nye måder. Niels Brunses oversættelser af Kong Lear, Macbeth og Lige for lige har været brugt til diverse opførelser på danske teatre – de er dog alle tre revideret i større eller mindre grad i denne udgave, Kong Lear mest – mens de tre andre i skrivende stund ikke har været opført og altså præsenteres her for første gang.

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a world of violence and generational conflict in which two young people fall in love and die because of that love. The story is rather extraordinary in that the normal problems faced by young lovers are here so very large.

The plot is based on Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Lives and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Sicilian revolt to Cleopatra's suicide during the Final War of the Roman Republic. The major antagonist is Octavius Caesar, one of Antony's fellow triumvirs of the Second Triumvirate and the first emperor of the Roman Empire. The tragedy is mainly set in Rome and Egypt and is characterized by swift shifts in geographical location and linguistic register as it alternates between sensual, imaginative Alexandria and a more pragmatic, austere Rome.

Othello, The Moor of Venice is a tragedy by William Shakespeare based on the short story "Moor of Venice" by Cinthio, believed to have been written in approximately 1603. The work revolves around four central characters: Othello, his wife Desdemona, his lieutenant Cassio, and his trusted advisor Iago. Attesting to its enduring popularity, the play appeared in 7 editions between 1622 and 1705. Because of its varied themes - racism, love, jealousy and betrayal - it remains relevant to the present day and is often performed in professional and community theatres alike. The play has also been the basis for numerous operatic, film and literary adaptations. (From Wikipedia)

This, much adapted Shakesperian play has been compared freely with the PSUV Venezuelan Political Party of the 21st century.

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

Shakespeare's tragic story of revenge is reimagined for the twenty-first century. One of Shakespeare's goriest plays, Titus Andronicus traces the fall of the Andronicus family in ancient Rome. Clinging to the ways of the past, Titus desperately seeks to remain loyal to the throne as his world crumbles around him. Amy Freed's translation of Titus Andronicus is careful and meticulous, making small but mighty changes in moments that enhance the drama of each scene. Freed's version gives this extraordinary play an even faster track on which to run. This translation of Titus Andronicus was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.

The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio, and while it shares certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps more remembered for its dramatic scenes, and is best known for the character of Shylock. The title character is the merchant Antonio, not the Jewish moneylender Shylock, who is the play's most prominent and more famous villain. Though Shylock is a tormented character, he is also a tormentor, so whether he is to be viewed with disdain or sympathy is up to the audience (as influenced by the interpretation of the play's director and lead actors). As a result, The Merchant of Venice is often classified as one of Shakespeare's problem plays.

Henry VIII is a history play generally believed to be a collaboration between William Shakespeare and John Fletcher, based on the life of Henry VIII of England. An alternative title, All is True, is recorded in contemporary documents, the title Henry VIII not appearing until the play's publication in the First Folio of 1623.

The play opens in Rousillon, then a Catalan province of Spain (now in France), where young Count Bertram bids farewell to his mother the Countess and Helena, as he leaves for the court of Paris (with old Lord Lafew) at the French King's order. Bertram's father has recently died and Bertram is to be the King's ward and attendant. Helena, a young minor noblewoman and ward of the Countess, whose father (a gifted doctor) has also recently died, laments her unrequitable love for (or infatuation with) Bertram, and losing him to Paris, which weighs on her though it seems to others that she mourns her father.
