The chorus in plays such as Romeo and Juliet, Pericles and Henry V, gives background information and helps to set the stage for the action to come.
I know the words for the chorus but not the verse. Shakespeare wrote in verse.
In ancient Greek drama a chorus is a group of actors who commented on the action of the play in unison. Those plays were written hundreds of years before Julius Caesar lived. There is no chorus in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar.
No, women were not on his plays.
what was the size of the chorus in plays by Aeschylus
Four: Troilus and Cressida, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and Henry VIII. Of course, "Chorus" is just a generic name for the person speaking the prologues or epilogues--the actor does not have a character as such.
Yes he did.

blank verse
Voltaire did not directly use Shakespeare as a source for his plays, but he was influenced by Shakespeare's work and admired his dramatic style. Voltaire criticized Shakespeare's use of emotional excess and his unconventional narrative techniques, yet he recognized the impact of Shakespeare on the theatrical landscape. In his own plays, Voltaire sought to blend classical traditions with new ideas, drawing from various influences, including Shakespeare's emphasis on character and human emotion.
Shakespeare used a chorus in "Romeo and Juliet" to provide a concise summary of events and set the tone for the play. By framing the story with the chorus at the beginning and end, Shakespeare creates a sense of anticipation and gives the audience a glimpse into the tragic fate of the young lovers.
No, simply.
I'd use the word entertaining.
