Chaos and Redemption: The Later Plays

Chaos and Redemption: The Later Plays includes As You Like It, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Coriolanus, Winter’s Tale, Pericles, and Henry VIII.

The Later Plays picks up where The Early Plays left off with the story of the women who tell the truth, to the women who lean in, to the tale of redemption where the daughters redeem the sins of the fathers.
