Plays |  Books About Shakespeare

Why include the works of Shakespeare at sacred-texts? The answer to this will be self-evident to some, and a mystery to others.

This site includes the works of several other dramatists, such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Kalidasa, the Noh Plays of Japan, and the Inca Drama of Ollantay. In common with Shakespeare, these great works of world literature illuminate the main themes of this site, as well as the human condition in general.
