Shakespeare's absolute pre-eminence is simply unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and provide Hollywood with block-buster scripts; his works inspire mountains of scholarship and criticism every year. He has given us many of the very words we speak, and even some of the thoughts we think. Nick Groom and Piero explore how Shakespeare became so famous and influential, and why he is still widely considered the greatest writer ever. They investigate how the Bard has been worshiped at different times and in different places, used and abused to cultural and political ends, and the roots of intense controversies which have surrounded his work. Much more than a biography or a guide to his plays and sonnets, Introducing Shakespeare is a tour through the world of Will and concludes that even after centuries, Shakespeare remains the battlefield on which our very comprehension of humanity is being fought out.

"Naked Masks - Five Plays" is a collection of surrealist dramas, written by Luigi Pirandello, that examine the conflict between illusion and reality. Pirandello’s plays force the audience to reexamine their perceptions of themselves and others. "Liolà" is wonderfully optimistic and wildly fun; "It Is So! (If You Think So)" asks the question of whether or not it matters whether something is real or feigned; "Henry IV" examines the nature of madness; "Six Characters in Search of an Author" is a disturbing thought experiment with a group of characters searching for a writer; and "Each in His Own Way" is a dramedy on the discrepancies between personal perception and societal identity. If you enjoy theatrics that challenge your perception of reality, "Naked Masks - Five Plays" is an excellent choice.
