Using an innovative theory of the significance of the Globe’s stage space, Penny Gay examines the play’s presentation of issues of power, sexuality, gender and genre. The famous line, ‘All the world’s a stage’ is an indicator of the play’s striking self-consciousness, a clue to its interest in performance and performativity, and to the radical potential of theatre to destabilize the conventions with which it operates.

(2) Romeo And Juliet; Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by Shakespeare early in his career between 1591-1595 about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. (3) Othello; The Tragedy of Othello, The Moor of Venice, or simply Othello, is a tragedy written in approximately 1603. One of Shakespeare's most tightly woven works, it explores themes of racism, betrayal, love, revenge, and forgiveness, and has spawned multiple film, literary and operatic adaptations. (4) Julius Caesar; The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, or Julius Caesar, is believed to have been written in 1599 and is one of Shakespeare's works based on the true historical events. Though Caesar is the title character, his role is not as large as that of Marcus Brutus, the conspirator who takes Caesar's life. (5) King Lear; King Lear is one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies and was believed to have been written be-tween 1605-1606, and was based on a legend of the Leir of Britain, a pre-Roman Celtic king from my-thology. (6) Hamlet; The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, usually shortened to just Hamlet, was written by Shakespeare sometime between 1599–1602. It is arguably one of his most famous tragedies. The lines from Hamlet's monologue in act three that begin \"To be, or not to be ….\" Have been studied and are widely known even amongst those that are otherwise unfamiliar with Shakespeare's work. (7) Antony And Cleopatra; Antony and Cleopatra is a well-known tragedy by William Shakespeare.
