2.  they were English, they were from London  the biggest piece is Shakespear‘s games rewritten into tales for children  they were both a little crazy and Mary even killed their mother  Charles also wrote poems and balads, Mary didn‘t write more, she spent a lot of time in the hospital for the mentally ill 1775 - 18341764 - 1847

4. A Midsummer Night‘s Dream  A comedy, it takes place in ancient Greece  It is about four young people who love each other.  There is very complicated relationship-spider between them.  The king of the fairies messes up their love story with love-juice, but in good faith  Finally there is a happyend, and they don‘t really know, if it wasn‘t only a dream…

5. As You Like It  Another love story with a complicated plot and a happyend  It takes place in France and Ardens wood  It‘s about two girls, who live in disguise because of unlawful duke  They love unlawful duke‘s enemy and his brother  At the end, there is a lawful duke again, and young couples are married
