    Købmanden i Venedig (Ved Anne Chaplin Hansen)

    Af William Shakespeare (2012)

    Shakespeares udødelige komedie om den rige venetianske købmand Antonio og hans fattige ven Bassanio er fuld af poesi og lidenskab. For at hjælpe Bassanio med at at fri til den skønne Portia underskriver Antonio et gældsbevis til den jødiske pengeudlåner Shylock og lover ham et skålpund kød, hvis gælden ikke bliver indfriet. Da Antonio senere går fallit, står Shylock fast på sin ret til at få sit skålpund kød i den dramatiske retssag, der rummer nogle af stykkets mest gribende scener.

    Macbeth

    Af William Shakespeare (2012)
    Summary: Macbeth is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy and one of his best-known plays. Often referred to as an archetypal tale, it warns against lust for power and the betrayal of friends. Shakespeare based the play loosely on a King Macbeth of Scotland. The play is traditionally considered "cursed", and thus many actors refer to it as "The Scottish Play" to avoid naming it

    The Taming of the Shrew

    Af William Shakespeare (2012)
    Summary: The Taming of the Shrew is perhaps one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays by modern standards. Hinging on the courtship between the arrogant Petruchio and the "shrew" of the title Katherina, it is unclear whether Shakespeare's blatantly misogynistic themes were in earnest or tongue in cheek. The charming and tender Bianca is forbidden to marry until her elder sister, Katherine is spoken for. Bianca's suitors enlist Petruchio to woo Katherina for her dowry. Petruchio embarks on his own brand of psychological torture and in so doing manages to "tame" the stubborn Katherine who morphs into the faultless submissive wife

    Othello : The Moor of Venice

    Af William Shakespeare (2012)
    Summary: Believed to have been written in 1603, Shakespeare's Othello is a tragedy that puts the playwright's prodigious creative gifts on full display. Based loosely on a Renaissance-era Italian tale, Othello follows the stormy relationship of the Moorish general Othello and his lovely wife Desdemona. Addressing timeless themes of love and betrayal, as well as surprisingly contemporary concepts such as race-based stereotypes, Othello is a satisfying read for modern-day fans of the Bard
