These translations present work from \"The Bard\" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.","brand":"Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47779671834775,"sku":"9780866987714","price":1040.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780866987714.webp?v=1778038343","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/romeo-and-juliet-9780866987714","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
