Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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. Shakespeare wrote comedies that still delight, political histories that still provoke, and tragedies that still break the heart.
