Macbeth

Shakespeare At Home, Book 1

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Macbeth is Book One in the eight-book series called Shakespeare At Home. Carmen Khan and Jack Armstrong, in their thirty years at The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre, have created dozens of Shakespeare productions. Time and again they have seen that, although there are already several major editions of these luminous classics in print, each with its own valuable contribution to make, there is none that provides everything the reader needs to understand the play. So, they have created their own edition, from a director's viewpoint, which distills their detailed notes on every line of the play - what is being said, why it's being said, what the drama of the scene is, and why Shakespeare included it. In other words, everything you need, whether to perform the play in front of an audience of thousands, or just to read it to yourself. The Shakespeare At Home series is an ideal addition to the libraries of homeschooling parents as well any school library.

Autorenporträt

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and two long narrative poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. Until about 1608, he wrote mainly tragedies, among them Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language.
