Sobre o autor(a)
Shakespeare, William
William Shakespeare nasceu em abril de 1564 em Stratford-upon-Avon. Depois de casar-se com Anne Hathaway em 1582 e ter três filhos com ela, William mudou-se para Londres. Em poucos anos, seu nome passou a ser reconhecido no teatro londrino, como ator e como dramaturgo. Foi nesse cenário que ele produziria algumas das mais celebradas peças de todos os tempos, entre elas: Ricardo III (1592), Tito Andrônico (1594), Romeu e Julieta (1595), Sonho de uma Noite de Verão (1595), O Mercador de Veneza (1596), Hamlet (1601), Macbeth (1603), Otelo (1604), Rei Lear (1605) e A Tempestade (1611). Com o tempo, Shakespeare prosperou financeiramente e passou a investir parte de sua riqueza em imóveis de Stratford. Depois de sua aposentadoria do palco, Shakespeare voltou a sua cidade natal, onde morreu em 23 de abril de 1616. |
