When were William Shakespeare's plays written?

His plays were written in the 1500-1600s in the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. People are not sure of the exact dates. The earliest dates given are in about 1588 and the latest in 1614. Some plays we know were written before 1598 because a guy called Francis Meres made an incomplete list of them at that time. Sometimes we know because they were printed and we know the date. Sometimes we have a record of someone going to see the play. Usually these mean that we can say something like "We know that Romeo and Juliet was not written after 1597".

Sometimes there is a reference to a current event which means that the play was not written before the event--the success of the Children's companies which is referred to in Hamlet for example.

Why was The merchant of Venice banned?

Because the play deals with inter-ethnic or interracial marriage (depending on how one interprets the term "Moor", Othello has been banned in societies that do not approve of this type of marriage. In addition, Desdemona defies her father--a no-no in strongly patriarchal societies--which is another reason that the play has been banned in certain places. In the US today, some parents, teachers, and librarians perceive that Othello is not appropriate for younger readers due to its mature themes of sexuality and racism, but the play isn't so much banned as made unavailable to younger readers.

Who is Harold pinter?

Harold Pinter was a British author, actor, director and playwright whom we so tragically lost in 2008. he won the Nobels piece prize in literature. He has written about 30 plays, 20 movie scripts and he set up about 30 plays in theaters, among the most known are: "The Birthday party", "The dumb waiter", "The Caretaker", "The Homecoming", "No man's land" and "betrayal".

Pinter's drama was often about communication or lack of it. His plays often took on the relations between women and men.

Fun fact:

He has actually been the "victim" of research from many different perspectives, among others: Psychoanalytic, feminist research and more. An example on feminist research you'll find when you watch Pinter's "Female Portraits" from 1988.

I mentioned that Pinter has received the Nobel piece prize for literature, well, he has won more than that. He has among others received the Shakespear-award, The European Literature Award and Moliere D'Honneur. In 1996 he was appointed commander of the order of the British Empire and in 2002 he received the Order

of the Companions of Honour.
