Synopsis "Richard III (in German)"

König Edward III hatte vier Söhne. Prinz Edward, den ältesten; Lionel als zweitältesten; John of Gaunt als den dritten im Bunde und dann Edmund of Langley, den Herzog von York. John of Gaunts Nachfahren haben die wei e Rose als Symbol. Bei den folgenden Rosenkriegen, in deren Rahmen alle Väter, Enkel und Söhne bunt gegeneinander intrigieren, morden und Throne stürzen, verliert man schon mal leicht den Überblick - unterhaltsam ist es allemal.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
