Story
Antony and Cleopatra (First Folio title: The Tragedie of Anthonie, and Cleopatra) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. The play was first performed, by the King's Men, at either the Blackfriars Theatre or the Globe Theatre in around 1607; its first appearance in print was in the Folio of 1623. The plot is based on Thomas North's 1579 English translation of Plutarch's Lives (in Ancient Greek) and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Sicilian revolt to Cleopatra's suicide during the Final War of the Roman Republic.

Eigentlich war Maira Thomsons Leben ganz beschaulich – sie führte ihr kleines Café in den Highlands und versuchte, wenigstens einmal ein ordentliches Date zu bekommen – doch plötzlich bleibt ihr nichts anderes übrig, als durch die Zeit zu reisen. Ihre Zwillingsschwester ist in den schottischen Highlands des sechzehnten Jahrhunderts verschwunden und nur Maira kann ihr helfen. Doch als sie sich in den Armen eines kriegerischen Highlanders wiederfindet, dessen Clan in eine blutige Fehde verwickelt ist, merkt Maira, dass sie Gefühle für diesen attraktiven Schotten entwickelt.

Story
Much Ado About Nothing appears to have been written about 1599, shortly before As You Like It and Twelfth Night. The action combines two narrative threads: the spirited comedy of the courtship of Benedick and Beatrice, and the somber tale of confused love between Hero and Claudio. The first is a creation by Shakespeare and the second appears to have been drawn from an Italian source, either by Bandello or Ariosto. The action takes place in Messina. Eponymous lovers Hero and Claudio seem to be ideally matched and nearly everyone is looking forward to their impending marriage.
