William Shakespeare

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in about 1595 or 1596. The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and is widely performed.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about the romance between two Italian youths from feuding families. It was among Shakespeare’s most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.

En la Verona dividida por el odio ancestral de dos familias enemigas, nace un amor imposible. Romeo Montesco y Julieta Capuleto se descubren bajo la luz de un baile, y en un instante, sus destinos quedan entrelazados para siempre. Con la pasión de quien ama por primera vez y la urgencia de quienes no pueden esperar, los jóvenes desobedecen al mundo que los separa y forjan una unión secreta. Pero el amor, cuando desafía al odio, se convierte en chispa y en tragedia. Romeo y Julieta no es solo la historia de dos amantes condenados, sino un canto eterno al amor absoluto, a la juventud que arde, y al precio que se paga por desafiar al destino. Una obra inmortal de William Shakespeare que sigue latiendo en cada generación.
