Za jedno jej spojrzenie on zaryzykowałby losy całego kraju. Jedno jego wzruszenie ramion - a kształt dzisiejszej Europy wyglądałby zupełnie inaczej. Kleopatra i Antoniusz - królowa hellenistycznego Egiptu i dowódca wojsk rzymskich. To nie do pomyślenia, by w swoich działaniach mogli kierować się osobistymi uczuciami. A jednak! Namiętność, która ich owładnęła, była tak gwałtowna, że gotowi byli złożyć na jej ołtarzu wszystkie polityczne interesy. Gdyby nie fatalna bitwa pod Akcjum, być może trwaliby razem do grobowej deski... A my żylibyśmy dzisiaj w zupełnie innym świecie.

'For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground, And tell sad stories of the death of kings' Crowned as a child, Richard II only knows power. The King's court tire of his fickle, greedy reign, but it is only when he exiles his own cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, and attempts to steal his inheritance that they are pushed to act. What follows threatens Richard's crown and with it his sense of self. Shakespeare's most tragic history play uses the rich and messy familial web of monarchy to explore what it means to crave power, to hold it, to fight to take it, and to lose it. Richard II is Shakespeare's most human and tragic history play, a story about the ways power distorts a ruler's sense of self.

'Men's evil manners live in brass, their virtuesWe write in water.' Henry VIII or All is True is Shakespeare's retelling of one of the defining periods in English history: the marriage and divorce of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon. Written in the wake of the sudden death of Henry Stuart, King James I and VI's oldest son and heir, Shakespeare's most 'contemporary' history play offers provocative parallels between the Tudor past and Stuart present. The play examines the rise and fall of Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cranmer, and Anne Boleyn, providing both a meditation on history as a narrative dictated by Church and State, and on the tragic lives of those who become collateral damage to greater forces.

'I see a man's life is a tedious one.' Set in Ancient Britain, Cymbeline is a tragedy of deceit, disguise, banishment, and fidelity against the backdrop of a Roman invasion. When the King of Britain Cymbeline discovers his daughter's secret marriage, he banishes her husband to Rome, who then accuses Innogen of being unfaithful. Innogen must evade deadly plots and homicidal jealousy to restore her name. Long recognised as a response to James VI and I's project to unite England and Scotland, the play conjures ancient British history at a moment when that history was eroding, revealed as a medieval invention. This sense of historical endings is entangled with Cymbeline as a late play, and its numerous apparent callbacks across Shakespeare's career.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy that he wrote early on in his career. It is about the love affair that develops between two young Italians who come from families that are at odds with each other. Shakespeare wrote one of his most well-known plays during his lifetime, and it is also one of the most frequently performed, even more so than Hamlet. In modern times, the characters in the title are considered to be the quintessential examples of young lovers.The story of Romeo and Juliet is part of a long-standing tradition of tragic romances that dates back to ancient times. The plot is based on an Italian story that was written by Matteo Bandello. In 1562, Arthur Brooke translated the story into verse and titled it The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet. In 1567, William Painter retold the story in prose and titled it The Palace of Pleasure. The plot was expanded by Shakespeare through the development of a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both of these but expanded the plot. It is suggested that the play was written between the years 1591 and 1595, and the quarto edition of the play was initially published in the year 1597. However, the text of the first quarto edition was of poor quality, and subsequent editions made corrections to the text to bring it closer to the original that Shakespeare had written.
