Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of William Shakespeare about two young star-crossed
lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was
among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along
with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.

Hamlet
The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play dramatizes the revenge Prince Hamlet exacts on his uncle Claudius for murdering King Hamlet, Claudius's brother and Prince Hamlet's father, and then succeeding to the throne and taking as his wife Gertrude,
the old king's widow and Prince Hamlet's mother. The play vividly
portrays both true and feigned madness – from overwhelming sorrow to
seething rage – and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and
moral corruption and family.

Tamburlaine the Great
Tamburlaine the Great is a play in two parts by Christopher Marlowe. It is loosely based on the life of the Central Asian emperor, Timur "the lame". Written in 1587 or 1588, the play is a milestone in Elizabethan public drama; it marks a turning away from the clumsy language and loose plotting of the earlier Tudor dramatists, and a new interest in fresh and vivid language, memorable action, and intellectual complexity. Along with Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, it may be considered the first popular success of London's public stage.
