Shakespeare, Romance & Laughter

Does  love make fools of us all?

For Valentine’s Day, let’s explore two of Shakespeare’s greatest love stories, Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Written near the same time, these plays  contain the potential both for supreme comedy and sublime tragedy.
