William Shakespeare

Playwright, Poet, and Dramatist (1564–1616)

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest dramatist in the English language. His plays — tragedies like Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth, comedies like A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and histories like Henry V — explore the full range of human experience with unmatched psychological insight.

Shakespeare expanded English vocabulary and poetic expression, creating characters and lines that remain central to literature and theatre worldwide.

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

His works continue to be performed, adapted, and reinterpreted — proving the timelessness of his craft and empathy.
