MACBETH - STAGED: THE ORIGINS OF YA'S GREATEST TROPES
With a foreword by Kat Delacorte, author of With Fire in Their Blood
'It will have blood, they say: blood will have blood'
On a bleak, stormy night in Scotland, three witches prophesy: Macbeth will be a lord twice-over and Macbeth will be king; but Banquo's sons will also be kings.
When the witches' predictions start to come true, the ambitious Lady Macbeth vows to help her husband become King of Scotland and hold on to the throne - by any means necessary. But as the pursuit of power leads them down a dark and bloody path, the Macbeths soon begin to unravel.
Macbeth is Shakespeare's famously blood-soaked tale of greed and prophecy so powerful that superstitions about the curse of 'The Scottish Play' continue to this day.
Discover STAGED, a limited collection of Shakespeare's unabridged plays that celebrates the genius of the Bard and the tropes that continue to delight YA readers to this day.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, and was baptised on 26 April 1564. His father was a glove maker and wool merchant and his mother, Mary Arden, was the daughter of a well-to-do local land owner. Shakespeare was probably educated in Stratford's grammar school. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway, and the couple had a daughter the following year and twins in 1585. Shakespeare's theatrical life seems to have commenced around 1590. We do know that he was part of the Lord Chamberlain's Company, which was renamed the King's Company in 1603 when James I succeeded to the throne. The Company acquired interests in two theatres in the Southwark area of London, near the banks of the Thames - the Globe and the Blackfriars. Shakespeare's poetry was published before his plays, with two poems appearing in 1593 and 1594, dedicated to his patron Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. Most of Shakespeare's sonnets were probably written at this time as well. Records of Shakespeare's plays begin to appear in 1594, and he produced roughly two a year until around 1611. His earliest plays include Henry VI and Titus Andronicus. A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice and Richard II all date from the mid to late 1590s. Some of his most famous tragedies were written in the early 1600s; these include Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth and Antony Cleopatra. His late plays, often known as the Romances, date from 1608 onwards and include The Tempest. Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616 and was buried in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. The first collected edition of his works was published in 1623 and is known as 'the First Folio'.

SHAKESPEARE WILLIAM
Bautizado el 26 de abril de 1564, Stratford-upon-Avon, - 23 de abril de 1616, Stratford-upon-Avon.
William Shakespeare fue un poeta, dramaturgo y actor inglés, considerado el más grande autor dramático de todos los tiempos. Resulta muy difícil hablar de Shakespeare sin caer en tópicos. A pesar de que sus obras se escribieron a caballo entre los siglos XVI y XVII y se representaron en un teatro modesto, la inmensa mayoría han sobrevivido, se siguen representando en todo el mundo y forman parte del acervo cultural. Paradójicamente, la vida del llamado "cisne de Avon" sigue envuelta de misterio. Por no saber, no se sabe con seguridad ni el día en que nació. De hecho, existen conspiranoicos que aseguran que en realidad las obras no las escribió él, sino que simplemente las firmó, y que el verdadero autor fue Edward de Vere, XVII conde de Oxford, que se escondió tras la figura del actor. En cualquier caso, lo importante es su legado. Shakespeare cultivó con igual acierto drama y comedia. De su vasta obra cabe destacar Hamlet, Macbeth, Otelo, El rey Lear, Mucho ruido y pocas nueces y Romeo y Julieta.
