Awkward Marriage

Awkward Marriage

She wasn’t used to receiving so many compliments, but she found that she liked them. “Would you like to check out an actual Shakespeare play in New York City two Fridays from now?” he asked. Her eyes grew wide. “I’ve never been to New York.” “And you haven’t seen Shakespeare in the theater. Isn’t it time all of that changed?” “What’s the play?” “Does it matter?” She grinned. “It might.” “It’s Much Ado About Nothing.” “It would be nice to watch a comedy.” “And we can eat at this restaurant I like to go to that overlooks the city. You can get fresh seafood there too.”

Betrothed (Book #6 in the Vampire Journals)

Betrothed (Book #6 in the Vampire Journals)

And there, off to the side, set apart from these two, was another large circular structure—although this one looked different from the others, classier. "Come see the new Will Shakespeare play in the new Globe Theatre!" yelled out a passing boy, holding a stack of pamphlets. He walked right up to Caitlin, and shoved a pamphlet into her hands. She looked down and it read: “the new play by William Shakespeare: The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.” "Will you come, Miss?" the boy asked. "It's his new play, and it's going to be performed for the first time in this brand-new theater: the Globe.”

Alpha’s Illicit Affairs With My Step Sister

Alpha’s Illicit Affairs With My Step Sister

Richard III". Shakespeare was not a playwright for long, so neither this man nor his name was given much importance at the time." "I was going to eat and run, but I was attracted by his portrait of a physically and psychologically deformed person. I forgot why I was here and got lost in the play instead. Shakespeare played Richard. Burbage must have fallen ill and had to be replaced at the last minute." Clive shrugged. “I have no idea why Shakespeare took the stage that evening, since he usually did not play the leading roles in his own works. Since then I have seen this play many times. Actors often use humped backs, slings, wheelchairs, but none of them has ever conveyed a twisted body and

In The Arms of Morpheus

In The Arms of Morpheus

"I shall try to remember everyone's names, but if I get stuck and forget yours please forgive me. Now, to turn our attention to the semester project... and to the man Callista is allergic to. If you need to go to the nurse, Callista, please do let me know." I felt my cheeks catch fire with embarrassment. "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, creeps in this petty pace from day-to-day, to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow." he quoted dramatically. "William Shakespeare wrote those words in his play entitled Macbeth. Your assignment is a long one, so be prepared.

The Don's Property

The Don's Property

Instead, I grab a boring Shakespeare play. Macbeth. I sit in the armchair and force my eyes over the old English. It's a tragedy about ambition, guilt, and blood from what is written on the back. Fitting, I suppose. I force myself to focus on the text, using the dense language as a wall to keep my own messy thoughts at bay. My finger traces the line where Lady Macbeth instructs her husband on how to deceive the King: “Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under't.”

I Marked The CEO Mine

I Marked The CEO Mine

Toward sunset, theyd sat in the library, and while Noah worked on his sketches at the window, Will had asked her question after question--all the while taking furious notes--about when shed first met Daniel, how she felt about him, whether she thought she could one day fall in love. Aside from Daniel, Shakespeare was the only one who knew the secret of Lucindas identity--her gender--and the love the players shared offstage. In exchange for his discretion, Clementine Hunter was keeping the secret that Shakespeare was present that night at the Globe. Everyone else in the company assumed that he was in Stratford, that hed handed over the reins of the theater to Master Fletcher. Instead, Will ap

Fated (Book #11 in the Vampire Journals)

All grew quiet as the actors appeared, walking across the grass, and the play began. Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. It all came rushing back to Sage. He remembered seeing this play the first time it was performed, back in 1594. He had seen it in the Globe, on the banks of the Thames, standing with all the groundlings, thousands of people crammed in together, watching it. He remembered being mesmerized. And now here he was, 400 years later, and it was still as fresh to him as the first time he’d seen it.

The Young Billionaire and A Girl

The Young Billionaire and A Girl

But my feelings remained sweetly immersed. "Oh, Adina, you're too lost in your own imagination. Remember who Devano is, who you are." I muttered after spending the day at home, remembering our theater performance yesterday. The love story behind Romeo and Juliet is actually a scripted work by Shakespeare, created from a poem. In 1562, an English poet named Arthur Brooke created a masterpiece poem titled "The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet." In fact, Arthur himself translated the poem from an Italian story titled "Mariotto and Ganoza," written by Massuccio Salernitano in 1476.

Sacred Flame

Sacred Flame

Brutality in the Trio is usually reserved for Asher, Cassius’s dragon. The play for Miss Alman’s class is to be our take on a famous piece of literature, such as Romeo and Juliet. I would like to write a happily ever after type tale, but I fear touching Conner. He might go along with it to pass the class, but afterward, he would punish me severely. So I look over my first outline. It is called Dark Gifts, and is my spin on Macbeth. I am keeping the witches in it, and mirroring them after the Hags. Conner will be the aspiring king, and me as his supportive wife until war breaks out. I will kill King Conner and take the throne. That's as close to a happy ending as I might be able to get away w

Lady Boss, You're Too Much!

Lady Boss, You're Too Much!

“Oh Roliet, Roliet, wherefore art thou Roliet? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love…” Maya noticed that Quinlynn was blankly watching the drama in a daze. Smiling she said, “What do you think Quinlynn? They are good at acting right?” “What’s the drama is called?” Quinlynn asked Maya with an awkward look. “Although I know you’re unusually misinformed. Even if it’s you I won't forgive you that you don't know our greatest playwright Milliam Shookspeare. The Drama club is performing one of his greatest work called ‘Roliet and Jumeo’. ” Maya angrily huffed at Quinlynn for not knowing this great man.
