Shakespeare’s sonnets of love are timeless.  These seven plays, each paired with the sonnet that inspired it, are startling nor only in the variety of their mood, content, and setting, but also in their unusual interpretation—a rich and marvelously entertaining celebration of the modern playwrights’ adoration of the Bard.  Adult Language and Mature Themes.
