Shakespeare is most famous for his tragedies and comedies, but he also
wrote ten tragedies about the Kings of England and their struggles—and
also about their friends, foes, and non-royal countrymen, good and evil.
Here Stacy Keach plays the ever-inebriated Sir John Falstaff as he plays
around with Maggie Kettering as the prostitute, Doll Tearsheet, in the
2014 National Shakespeare Theatre (Washington) production of Henry
IV, Part II, directed by Michael Kahn. © Scott Suchman
Pre-Shakespearean English playwright Christopher
Marlowe’s Tamburlaine the Great here features John
Douglas Thompson, as the title character, forcing his
conquered rivals to pull his chariot; the production was
a great success in Michael Boyd’s 2014 off-Broadway
production of both Parts I and II at the Theater for a
New Audience in Brooklyn, NY. © Sara Krulwich/The New
