by William Shakespeare

Eterno símbolo del amor que brota incontenible contra toda fuerza opuesta, Romeo y Julieta dramatiza una leyenda popularizada en el Renacimiento por incontables relatos italianos, franceses e ingleses, en prosa y verso, pero que apenas sería hoy recordada si no hubiera inspirado esta primera gran pieza teatral de Shakespeare, donde resabios de la lucha feudal y destellos cómicos de sirvientes y camaradas se entremezclan magistralmente con el más bello canto al amor. Romeo y Julieta es una de las obras más populares de Shakespeare; la desgraciada historia de los amantes de Verona ha trascendido la literatura para situarse en el terreno de lo legendario y de lo mítico. En medio de la lucha entre familias rivales, dos personajes juveniles viven un amor tan apasionado como imposible. La reconciliación llegará tarde, cuando ya se ha consumado la tragedia. La traición, la lealtad, el odio, los celos, la pasión, son algunos de los temas que William Shakespeare llevó a las tablas permitiendo a sus personajes la libertad de elegir entre los caminos posibles, para luego atenerse a las consecuencias de su proceder. Escrita en cinco actos, Romeo y Julieta expresa de modo insuperable el mito del amor romántico arque típico en la civilización moderna.

About the author

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner ("sharer") of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men after the ascension of King James VI and I of Scotland to the English throne. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and even certain fringe theories as to whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.
Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime. However, in 1623, John Heminge and Henry Condell, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that includes 36 of his plays. Its Preface was a prescient poem by Ben Jonson, a former rival of Shakespeare, that hailed Shakespeare with the now famous epithet: "not of an age, but for all time".
