HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. 'The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven' Bassiano, a noble Venetian, hopes to woo the beautiful heiress Portia. However, he requires financial assistance from his friend Antonio. Antonio agrees, but he, in turn, must borrow from the Jewish moneylender Shylock. As recourse for past ills, Shylock stipulates that the forfeit on the loan must be a pound of Antonio's flesh. In the most renowned onstage law scene of all time, Portia proves herself one of Shakespeare's most cunning heroines, disguising herself as a lawyer and vanquishing Shylock's claims; meanwhile, Shylock triumphs on a humanitarian level with his plea for tolerance: `Hath not a Jew eyes?' Viewed paradoxically as anti-Semitic, while at the same time powerfully liberal for its time, The Merchant of Venice is at its core a bittersweet drama, exploring the noble themes of prejudice, justice and honour.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Power, corruption and betrayal are at the heart of Shakespeare's most well-known historical and political drama. As Julius Caesar moves closer to securing power for himself and is perceived by some as a threat to Roman citizens, his senators plot to bring about his downfall. Caesar's assassination leads to civil war rather than peace and the play explores the subsequent deaths of the conspirators Brutus and Cassius. Shakespeare's contemporaries would have spotted the playwright's attempts to use the shift from republican to imperial Rome to highlight the political situation of the Elizabethans at the time. Featuring some of the most powerfully resonant and rousing speeches of any of Shakespeare's plays, Julius Caesar remains one of his most well-loved historical tragedies.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Hugely ambitious in its historical focus and vast geographical scope, Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare's most astonishing tragedies. The drama centres on the relationships between his main protagonists, Octavius Ceasar, Mark Antony and Cleopatra, and the highly charged affair between Mark Antony and the Egyptian queen that forms the backdrop to the pervading theme of struggle between East and West throughout the play. The internal battle of personal emotion and duty that Antony experiences, and the dynamics of power and sexuality portrayed by Cleopatra, give the play its dramatic tension. Rich and complex in its language and poetic in tone, Shakespeare shows how the politics of Rome ultimately cause disaster for a man who is torn between reason and passion.

Dva kavalíři z Verony patří k Shakespearovým raným komediím. Hra vnikla někdy v letech 1590-1594. Má se za to, že byla napsána až po Komedii omylů a Zkrocení zlé ženy, ale s ohledem na jistou jednoduchost výstupů, v nichž se v převážné míře střídají monology či promluvy stranou jedné osoby s dialogy dvou postav, ji někteří pokládají za vůbec první Shakespearovou hru.

Ani tragédie, ani komedie, a už vůbec ne tragikomedie. Málo hraná Shakespearova hra o světě, v němž se rozpadají všechny lidské ctnosti, hodnoty a city. Smysl lidské existence uznávaný a vyznávaný se proměňuje v nesmysl. Jako by nikdo nevěděl proč, jako by nikdo nebyl schopen zastavit rozpad světa. Text dramatu, který vznikl kolem roku 1602, doprovází podrobná studie Pavla Drábka o vzniku hry, okolnostech, kontextu a inscenační tradici až do dnešních dnů, a také esej filozofa Daniela Kroupy zabývající se kulturou cti a slávy (a potažmo politikou) nejen v antickém Řecku. Nechybí článek vysvětlující režijní úpravu a představující světoznámého režiséra Davida Radoka. Vychází u příležitosti premiéry 6. prosince 2012 v historické budově Národního divadla.
