Richard III

Autor William Shakespeare
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Playwright Migdalia Cruz breathes new life into Richard III.
 
Nuyorican playwright Migdalia Cruz unpacks and repositions Shakespeare’s Richard III for a twenty-first-century audience. She presents a contemporary English verse translation, faithfully keeping the poetry, the puns, and the politics of the play intact, with a rigorous and in-depth examination of Richard III—the man, the king, the outsider—who is still the only English king to have died in battle. In the Wars of the Roses, his Catholic belief in his country led to his slaughter at Bosworth’s Field by his Protestant rivals. In reimagining this text, Cruz emphasizes Richard III’s outsider status—exacerbated by his severe scoliosis, which twisted his spine—by punctuating the text with punk music from 1970s London. Cruz’s Richard is no one’s fool or lackey. He is a new kind of monarch, whose dark sense of humor and deep sense of purpose leads his charge against the society which never fully accepted him because he looked different.

This translation was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.

Notă biografică

William Shakespeare wurde im Jahr 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon geboren und starb dort 1616. Er war ein englischer Dramatiker, Lyriker und Schauspieler.

Shakespeare wuchs in einer wohlhabenden Bürgerfamilie auf und besuchte vermutlich die Stratforder Lateinschule. Im Alter von 18 Jahren heiratete er eine Bauerntochter, mit der er drei Kinder bekam. Man vermutet, dass er von 1582 bis 1590 als Lehrer arbeitete. Es gibt keine Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass Shakespeare eine Universität besucht hat.

Ab 1592 ist bekannt, dass Shakespeare Mitglied der führenden Theatergruppe Londons war, für die er auch eigene Stücke schrieb. Es entstanden u.a. die Königsdramen und die Komödien "Der Widerspenstigen Zähmung", "Ein Sommernachtstraum" und "Viel Lärm um nichts". "Romeo und Julia', eine der berühmtesten Liebestragödien der Weltliteratur, entstammt wohl dem Jahr 1598. Nach der Jahrhundertwende schuf Shakespeare u.a. die Tragödien "Hamlet", "Othello" und "Macbeth"

Als Teilhaber des Londoner Globe Theatre erwarb sich Shakespeare Vermögen und Einfluss. Seine Truppe "Lord Chamberlain's Men" trat öfter auch am Hof der Königin Elisabeth auf.

Mit 46 Jahren kehrte Shakespeare wohlhabend nach Stratford zurück und verbrachte dort seine letzten Lebensjahre, in denen er noch öfters nach London reiste und auch weitere Theaterstücke produzierte.

William Shakespeare starb 1616 im Alter von 52 Jahren in Stratford-upon-Avon.
