    A group of friends meet for drama class and an unexpected series of stories unfold.Using Shakespeares most famous works as a trigger these students will reflect upon such topicsas love, hate, ambition, loyalty and death and gain a deeper and lasting understanding notonly of the characters feelings, but of their own and those around them. Little by littleShakespeares plays will be brought to life and both actors and audience will come to realizethat many of the emotions expressed are surprisingly very similar to their own.

He was the third child and the eldest son.Apparently, William went to the Kings New Schoolin Stratford, but he hadno university education. At the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway,

    26, who was already pregnant with his first daughter Susanna. A few yearslater, this child was followed by twins. In 1580, Shakespeare left Strafford,alone, for London where, already known as a playwright, he started workas an actor. Some years later, he became the playwright of a successful

    company of actors, the Lord Chamberlains Men. In 1599 they built andoccupied the Globe Theatrein Southwark near the River Thames, wheremany of his plays were performed. In addition to his thirty seven plays, healso wrote poems. In 1611 or 1612 he left London for Stratford, where hewrote The Tempestand Henry VIII. He died on April 23, 1616, and wasburied in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. Although no collected edition of hisplays was published during his lifetime, in November 1623, seven years

    after his death, two members of his acting company collected thirty-six of hisplays and issued them as a book; this collection was called The First Folio.

    Macbeth: My love, your version was true. Three apparitions met me in the

    day of success, and Ive heard from trustworthy horses that their science

    goes beyond this earth. When I burnt in expire to question them further,

    they vanished in the air. Banished as I was, I heard the Kings messengers

    coming, They veiled me Thane of Cawdor, title with which these weird

    witches had headed me before, adding Hail to you, that shall be king

    hereby!

    Lady Macbeth:You are Glamis and Cawdor, and moon youll become

    king! But I hear your nature; its too full of the milk of human kindness to

    catch the nearest way. You would like to be late, since you are ambitious,

    but you back the instinct of the evil that has to follow.

    FRIAR LAURENCE:Hold, then; go home, take this vial, being then in bed and this liquor drink.

    All your veins shall run cold, for no pulse shall you keep. No warmth, no breath, shall testify you

    live. The roses in your lips and cheeks shall fade to pale ashes, your eyes' windows fall like

    death, when he shuts up the day of life. Each part shall, stiff and cold, appear like death. And in

    this pretended death you shall continue two and forty hours and then awake as from a pleasant

    sleep. Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes to rouse you from your bed, there you

    are, dead: After your funeral, in your best robes you shall be placed in the ancient vault where

    all the members of the Capulets family lie. In the meantime, shall Romeo by my letters know our

    plan, and hurriedly shall he come: and he and I will watch your waking, and that very night shall

    Romeo be eternally yours. And this shall free you from this present shame; if no womanish fear,

    or anything at all decrease your valour in the acting it.

    JULIET:Give me, give me!

    FRIAR LAURENCE:Take it and go, be strong and prosperous. I'll send a messenger speedily

    with my letters to Romeo.

    JULIET:Love, give me strength! Farewell, dear father!

    MACBETH:My love, your vision was true. Three apparitions met me in the day of success, and

    Ive heard from trustworthy sources that their science goes beyond this earth. When I burnt in

    desire to question them further, they vanished in the air. Astonished as I was, I heard the Kings

    messengers coming, They hailed me Thane of Cawdor, title with which these weird witches

    had greeted me before, adding Hail to you, that shall be king hereafter!

    LADY MACBETH:You are Glamis and Cawdor, and soon youll become king! But I fear your

    nature; its too full of the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way. You would like to be

    great, since you are ambitious, but you lack the instinct of the evil that has to follow.
