Although, there were many great dramatics such as Marlowe, Spenser and Webster but Shakespeare was the greatest. In the middle of the nineteenth century the theory of the adulation of Shakespeare as the greatest writer of all time had become widespread. The Shakespeare authorship question is the argument that someone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wrote the works attributed to him. The adherents of this theory believe that Shakespeare of Stratford was a front to shield the identity of the real author or authors, who for some reason did not want or could not accept public credit.…

The Tragedy Recreation of Richard III The performance of Richard III is a fruitless play about a play that begins in a car park; the residence of long lost Richard III’s skeleton. This piece combines contemporary theatre with Shakespearean theatre to supposedly engage the audience’s understanding and reflection of the nature of evil, the value of Shakespeare and traditionalism of plays.

consider the play as being the "dark" element of comedy for its bitterness and cynicism. The play certainly raises important moral issues in its detailed descriptions of Christianity. Measure for Measure can also be called a problem play, because it brings up a difficulty and then seeks to solve it. However, the difficulty lays in misunderstandings and hidden identities as it the moral question of the play. In Measure for Measure Shakespeare introduces clowns and fools in the play which is the…
