Jalousie ! Jalousie ! Pourquoi faut-il qu'Othello, superbe et généreux, tombe dans ce piège ? Lorsque le Maure arrive à Chypre, sa gloire est au plus haut. Seul capable de battre les Turcs, il est même servi par la tempête qui balaye la flotte ennemie. Comme si les Cieux aussi étaient à ses côtés. Ses noces avec Desdémone font de lui un homme heureux. Nuit de fête pour les amants. Nuit funeste qui voit Iago, le traître, multiplier les intrigues pour empoisonner leur joie. Que n'a-t-il l'excuse de l'amour ? Non, ce qui le mène, c'est la haine. Nuire. Détruire Othello en insinuant que Desdémone a pu le trahir. Folie ! Par quel mystère Othello se laisse-t-il abuser par ce misérable ? Passion et violence, sombres machinations... Le destin prend sa revanche.

In The Merchant of Venice, the penniless but attractive Bassanio seeks, and finally wins, the hand of the fabulously wealthy Portia. But even as the play provokes laughter, it also provokes something disturbing, as Bassanio's courtship is actually financed by the magnificent villain Shylock the moneylender -- the focus of anti-Semitic sentiment, and one of the most controversial yet strangely sympathetic of Shakespeare's characters, whose actions and whose treatment in the play are still debated to this day.This simplified retelling of the Shakespearean comedy also includes activities related to the text.

The Taming of the Shrew is one of the most famous and controversial of Shakespeare's comedies.
