　　This, Shakespeare’s earliest tragedy, is also his bloodiest and
most horror-filled. A Roman general, to appease the spirit of his
dead son, sacrifices the son of a captive Goth queen—and sets in
motion a remorseless cycle of revenge and counterrevenge. The
play’s vivid spectacle of violence stuns audiences with rape,
murder, mutilation, and unmitigated cruelty. 
　　 
　　Timon of Athens 
　　This stark drama—in some ways Shakespeare’s most bitter play—is a
brilliant psychological portrait of a wealthy Athenian lord whose
extraordinary trust and love for others turns to hate and spite
when, bankrupted by his generosity, he is overwhelmed by the
indifference and ingratitude of those he had thought friends. 
　　 
　　Coriolanus 
　　The arrogance of a Roman military hero puts him in conflict with
the people of Rome when the aristocrat is unwilling to compromise
with the commoners he so despises. Compellingly relevant today,
Shakespeare’s last tragedy—from its opening scene of popular unrest
to its chilling climax of betrayal and murder—takes an unwavering,
ironic look at political extremism.

作者简介

　　William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. Thefacts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. Hewas one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant ofsome standing in his community. William probably went to the King’sNew School in Stratford, but he had no university education. InNovember 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway,eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child,Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( whowould die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and alreadyknown as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referredto him as “an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers.”Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of thesuccessful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (later underJames I, called the King’s Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain’s Menbuilt and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the ThamesRiver. Here many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed by the mostfamous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe,and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had ahand in others, including Sir Thomas More and The Two NobleKinsmen, and he wrote poems, including Venus and Adonis and TheRape of Lucrece. His 154 sonnets were published, probably withouthis authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or 1612 he gave up his lodgingsin London and devoted more and more time to retirement inStratford, though he continued writing such plays as The Tempestand Henry VII until about 1613. He died on April 23 1616, and wasburied in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. No collected edition ofhis plays was published during his life-time, but in 1623 twomembers of his acting company, John Heminges and Henry Condell, puttogether the great collection now called the First Folio.
