Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Romeo and Juliet is the world's most famous drama of tragic young
love. Defying the feud which divides their families, Romeo and
Juliet enjoy the fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual
fulfilment; but a combination of old animosities and new
coincidences brings them to suicidal deaths. This play offers a
rich mixture of romantic lyricism, bawdy comedy, intimate harmony
and sudden violence. Long successful in the theatre, it has also
generated numerous operas, ballets and films; and these have helped
to make Romeo and Juliet perennially topical.

In one of the poorest cities in America - Reading, Pennsylvania - a
group of factory workers struggle to keep their present lives in
balance, ignorant of the financial devastation looming in their
near future. Based on the playwright's extensive interviews with
residents of Reading, Lynn Nottage's play Sweat is a tale of
friends pitted against each other by big business, and a topical
reflection of the present and poignant decline of the American
Dream. The play premiered in Oregon in 2015, before being produced
at the Public Theater, New York, in 2016, and the following year on
Broadway, where it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It received
its UK premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2018, directed
by Lynette Linton, and went on to win Best Play at the 2019 Evening
Standard Theatre Awards.
