no, who the fuck is he?

>>75598411
do americans

No, who is him and why does he looks like a gipsy

>>75598472
Yes, you can't get out of high school without reading at least two of his plays.

>>75598411

yes

everybody knows of Romeo and Juliet, or at least the concept, and his plays are popular in theater, especially Hamlet and Macbeth.

In primary school they made me watch Polanski's Macbeth in English class.
I am pretty sure he is more popular here than the greatest Spanish playwrights (Calderón and Lope de Vega)

this

>>75599885
Nope. Shakespeare did steal ideas, though, so it's possible he took it from an Italian.

Do English speaking countries learn about non-english play writes? I didnt. We learned about philosophers of course but i never read French, spanish or Italian plays.

I don't know about Romeo and Juliet, but Othello was adapted from an Italian story.
