As You Like It
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.’
Featuring Rosalind, one of Shakespeare’s most likeable and strong female protagonists, As You Like It is a comedic play centred around concealed identity, love, exile and artifice. Banished from the court by her uncle, Rosalind flees to the forest with her cousin Celia and her jester, joining her already exiled father, and disguising herself as a boy. In the guise of a young man, she instructs her would-be lover Orlando in the ways of love and in doing so allows Shakespeare to explore the dynamics of the city and the country as well as the sexual politics of the time.

Veselé paničky windsorské
Tradice vypráví, že Shakespeare napsal komedii Veselé paničky windsorské na objednávku královny Alžběty, která si oblíbila postavu Falstaffa a chtěla ho na jevišti vidět zamilovaného. Shakespeare elegantně královně vyšel i nevyšel vstříc, neboť jeho Falstaff není zamilován do dvou windsorských manželek, ale pouze do peněz jejich manželů. Jeho záměr zmocnit se těchto peněz nakonec nevyjde a v komediálním konci hry je rituálně potrestán a zesměšněn ve windsorském parku. Veselé paničky windsorské jsou jedinou komedií Williama Shakespeara odehrávající se v Anglii a je to jediná jeho komedie měšťanská. Zaujme především gejzíry jazykového vtipu, neboť každá její postava má výraznou a osobitou řeč. Velšský kněz Hugo Evans deformuje angličtinu svým přízvukem a komediálně vykloubenými slovními spojeními, doktor Cajus je Francouz, který komolí angličtinu francouzskou výslovností a idiomy, zcela osobitou řečí mluví paní Čiperná a samozřejmě i rytíř Jan Falstaff, jedna z největších Shakespearových komediálních postav vůbec.

Jak se vám líbí
Hra Jak se vám líbí patří k vrcholným komediím Williama Shakespeara, kterým se často říká komedie sváteční. Kromě mileneckých párů a nezapomenutelné Rosalindy v ní vystupuje Šašek a melancholický Žak v ní pronáší jeden z nejslavnějších Shakesperových monologů vůbec, začínající slovy "Celý svět je jeviště a všichni lidé na něm jenom herci". Shakespeare v komedii Jak se vám líbí předvádí v divadelní zkratce svět jako jeviště. Postavy nechává jednat v divadelních situacích, které se v sobě vzájemně zrcadlí a ve kterých nakonec vždycky poznáme i samy sebe. V tomto magickém shakespearovském zrcadlení spočívá půvab, humor i moudrost komedie Jak se vám líbí především.
