Coriolanus is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1605 and 1608. The play is based on the life of the legendary Roman leader Caius Marcius Coriolanus. The tragedy is one of the last two tragedies written by Shakespeare, along with Antony and Cleopatra. Coriolanus is the name given to a Roman general after his military success against various uprisings challenging the government of Rome. Following this success, Coriolanus becomes active in politics and seeks political leadership.

Cymbeline, also known as The Tragedie of Cymbeline or Cymbeline, King of Britain, is a play by William Shakespeare set in Ancient Britain (c. 10–14)[a] and based on legends that formed part of the Matter of Britain concerning the early Celtic British King Cunobeline. Although listed as a tragedy in the First Folio, modern critics often classify Cymbeline as a romance or even a comedy. Like Othello and The Winter's Tale, it deals with the themes of innocence and jealousy. While the precise date of composition remains unknown, the play was certainly produced as early as 1611.

Das Stück schildert, wie eine königliche Familie nach langen Jahren der Trennung auf wundersame Weise wiedervereint wird. Der Titel spielt offensichtlich auf den märchenhaften Charakter des gesamten Dramengeschehens an. Er unterstreicht aber auch die im Stück durch Struktur und Bildersprache entwickelten Analogien zwischen der Dynamik des menschlichen Schicksals und dem Zyklus der Jahreszeiten.

In the last decade of the 16th century, William Shakespeare could not dare write A Midsummer Night's (Wet) Dream unabridged. Due to the nature of his birth century, the Bard wrote in a poetic "Shakespearean Code", hinting at sexualities and paraphilia he fully intended to compose and expose his Elizabethan audience to. His intended "erotica for every fetish" morphed instead into a "humane and wise drama" by happenstance. But what if there was a multiversal reality where the Marquis de Sade deciphered the Shakespearean Code during his long stay at the lunatic asylum at Charenton?

This play is a dramatization of Boccaccio’s story of Gillette of Narbonne. Only the comic parts were of Shakespeare’s invention; he added the characters of the pusillanimous Parolles, the lofty courtier Lafew, the Clown Lavatch, and the long suffering Countess. He gave new depth and vitality...
