Shakespeare (1564-1616) is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Experience the sublime and seductive passion of his immortal works as Dr. Covington performs excerpts from some of his most famous sonnets and plays – in full Renaissance costume, with period music.
