Tessa Gratton's Lady Hotspur is a sweeping, heart-stopping Shakespearean novel of betrayal and battlefields and destiny. STRIKE FAST, LOVE HARD, LIVE FOREVER This is the motto of the Lady Knights—sworn to fealty under a struggling kingdom, promised to defend the prospective heir, Banna Mora. But when a fearsome rebellion overthrows the throne, Mora is faced with an agonizing choice: give up everything she's been raised to love, and allow a king-killer to be rewarded—or retake the throne, and take up arms against the newest heir, Hal Bolingbrooke, Mora's own childhood best friend and sworn head of the Lady Knights. Hal loathes being a Prince; she's much more comfortable instated on the Throne of Misrule, a raucous underground nether-court where passion rules all. She yearns to live up to the wishes of everyone she loves best—but that means sacrificing her own heart, and so she will disappoint everyone until the moment she can rise to prove those expectations wrong. And between these two fierce Princes is the woman who will decide all their fates—Lady Hotspur, the fiery and bold knight whose support will turn the tides of the coming war.

Among the films inspired by Orson Welles's lifelong involvement with Shakespeare, the greatest is Chimes at Midnight (1966). It is a masterly conflation of the Shakespearean history plays that feature Falstaff, the great comic figure played by Welles himself in the film. For Welles, the character was also potentially tragic: the doomed friendship between Falstaff and Prince Hal becomes an image of the end of an age. To this epic subject Welles brings the innovative film techniques that made him famous in Citizen Kane, The Lady from Shanghai,"and Touch of Evil. This volume offers a complete continuity script of Chimes at Midnight, including its famous battle sequence. Each shot is described in detail and is keyed to the original Shakesperian sources, thus making the volume an invaluable guide to Welles as an adaptor and creator of texts. The first complete transcription of the continuity script of Chimes is accompanied by the editor's critical introduction on Welles's transformation of Shakespeare; a special interview with Keith Baxter, one of the film's principal actors, which discusses its production history; reviews and articles; and a biographical sketch of Welles, a filmography, and a bibliography.

The Plays of William Shakespeare: A Modernized Compilation by William Shakespeare Pdf
William Shakespeare – born in April 1564 in Stratford on Avon – was the greatest dramatist of the age. By his retirement around 1613, he had created a body of literature unparalleled in its brilliance and impact on the English language. His plays featured rich prose and poetry, complex characters, and explorations of universal themes. They introduced many new words and phrases into the language and set high standards for writers of dramatic verse everywhere. Shakespeare wrote in various genres and styles. Many of the plays combined comedy, real history, romance, and misfortune. This expanded the dramatic possibilities. On top of this, the playwright constantly experimented and innovated to create an artistic product that satisfied mixed audiences. These positive features or selling points of Shakespeare’s plays helped boost the theatre in general as a medium of mass entertainment. Plays became popular across-the-board – attracting all kinds of people and firmly establishing the theatre as a central cultural institution. Large audiences continue to patronize the great Shakespeare plays in live and filmed versions today – notably · "A Midsummer Night's Dream" – the whimsical comedy with several intertwining plots surrounding a celebrity marriage; · “Hamlet” – the story of a Prince of Denmark grappling with the death of his father and seeking revenge against a murdering uncle; · "Henry IV, Part 1" and "Henry IV, Part 2" – following the political struggles of King Henry IV and the coming-of-age of his son, Prince Hal, who later became Henry V; · “King Lear” – the aging king whose decision to divide his kingdom among his three daughters has tragic effects; · "Much Ado About Nothing", with its themes of love and deception, witty banter, and humorous misunderstandings throughout; · “Othello”, exploring themes of jealousy, betrayal, and racism in the tragic story of a Moorish general; · "Richard III", depicting the rise and fall of a scheming, manipulative, and murderous English monarch; · "The Tempest" exploring themes of magic, betrayal, and forgiveness on a remote island; · "The Winter's Tale" combining misfortune and comedy with a story line spanning a long period and strong themes of jealousy and redemption; and · "Twelfth Night" – the compelling tale of mistaken identity and love featuring a young woman disguise d as a man. However, four centuries-plus have inevitably lessened the readability and understandability of the original literary productions. This is a modernized compilation of the dramas – seeking to cut out archaic words, outdated grammar and spelling, and complex old-fashioned syntax while preserving their essence. Concise study guides go with each of the plays. These provide details of their dates (where available) and the complex characters and important events occurring in them. They also summarize the overall themes and plots and assess their general significance as pieces of dramatic art.
