Different Western Classical Plays and Opera

B. Renaissance: Romeo and Juliet
(William Shakespeare)
Genre: Tragedy

William Shakespeare was born and baptized on April 26 1564 and died on
April 23 1616. Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-
Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had
three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. He was an
English poet and playwright, widely known as the greatest writer in the
English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He’s been known
also as the "Bard of Avon". His existing works consist of about:
 38 plays,
 154 sonnets,
 two long narrative poems

Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner
of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears
to have retired to Stratford around 1613 at age 49, where he died three years later. With the exception
of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare's most famous tragedy and one of the world's most enduring
love stories, William Shakespeare's early plays were mostly histories written in the early 1590s.

Shakespeare also wrote several comedies during his early period:

 A Midsummer Night's Dream
 Merchant of Venice
 Much Ado About Nothing
 As You Like It and
 Twelfth Night
 Titus Andronicus
 The Comedy of Errors
 The Taming of the Shrew and
 The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Later Works: Tragedies and Tragicomedies
 Hamlet
 King Lear
 Othello

Theatrical Elements:
Staging for Romeo and Juliet:

The stage itself was divided into three levels:

a main stage area with doors at the rear and a curtained area at the back for "discovery
scenes";
an upper, canopied area called "heaven", for balcony scenes; and
an area under the stage called "hell," which could be accessed through a trap door in the
stage.

There is no curtain in the front of the stage, which meant that scenes had to flow into each other, and
"dead bodies" had to be dragged off. There are dressing rooms located behind the stage,
The performances during the renaissance period took place during the day, and the open plan theater
allowed for the use of natural light. Since there could be no dramatic lighting and there was art
direction (scenery and props), audiences relied on the actors' lines, dialogue, movements, and stage
directions to tell the time of day and year, same as the location, mood and weather.
But today, new media technology/gadgets like the laptop, computer, mixer, sensitive microphones,
fogs machine, loud speakers and the like are available. These new technology are used in many
performances, to make the play more realistic, creative, and spectacular. Backdrops for every scene
can be seen through the use of computers. Props are created much more easily and are more colorful.
There is a greater impact and satisfaction not only to the audience but also to the performers in using
the innovations in the plays.
