"A drum a drum, Macbeth doth come! My favorite of the tragedies. Macbeth's "tomorrow" speech is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry ever transcribed. The vibrancy of characters like Duncan & Lady Macbeth stay with you forever. "And vaulting ambition o'erthrown." Oh yes!"

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
