Shakespeare's plays are as relevant today as when they were written. The plays focus on timely concerns including war, corruption, political rivalry, racism, imperialism, women's rights, and sexual politics--as well as the great human themes of love, death, family, marriage, faith, patriotism, courage, and honor.
