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. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life ; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents'strife. [...] Deux anciennes Maisons d'égale dignité Dans la belle Vérone où se tient notre scène Font un nouvel éclat de leur antique hargne, Le sang civil salit les mains des citoyens. Or dans le sein fatal de ces deux ennemis Deux amants prennent vie sous la mauvaise étoile ; Leur malheureux écroulement très pitoyable Enterre en leur tombeau la haine des parents. Les terribles moments de leur amour mortel Et l'obstination des rages familiales Que rien sinon la mort des deux enfants n'apaisera, Pendant deux heures nous le jouerons sur ce théâtre ; Et si vous nous prêtez une patiente oreille, Tout défaut, notre zèle le rachètera.

One of the most beloved adventure stories of all time, "Treasure Island" is a swashbuckling tale of the search for hidden treasure. When an old sea captain by the name of Billy Bones dies at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the west coast of England during the mid-1700s, Jim Hawkins, the innkeeper's son, and his mother discover a treasure map among his belongings. Jim shows the map to some local acquaintances, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and together they plan an expedition to find the treasure. Together they set sail aboard the "Hispaniola," led by Captain Smollett, in search of Treasure Island. Amongst the crew are numerous former pirates, who are led to mutiny by "Long John" Silver, a one-legged Bristol tavern-keeper who has been hired as the ship's cook. Written in the late 19th century, Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" dramatically depicts maritime life, rich with all its perils, in an adventure that investigates the nature of good and evil itself.

Sur les remparts du château d'Elseneur, par une nuit noire et glaciale, le spectre d'Hamlet père, roi du Danemark, vient exhorter son fils Hamlet à le venger. Il révèle au prince que son oncle Claudius l'a empoisonné pour s'emparer de la couronne et épouser sa mère Gertrude. Habité par l'angoisse et le doute face à son destin, Hamlet hésite à venger son père... La pièce la plus célèbre de Shakespeare, vieille de quatre cents ans, est d'une beauté sombre et tragique qui abolit le temps. En s'interrogeant sur le sens de l'existence humaine, son héros magnifique n'en finit pas de nous fasciner et de nous interroger à notre tour.
