The nobles of england will hardly allow the young queen to rule in her son and husband's stead, leaving King Henry's younger brother caught in an impossible position. Jasper Tudor will go on to win the War of the Roses and go down in history as an adventurer and military leader. Right now he's an eighteen year old boy with a sister in law to look out for and a nation on the brink of civil war. And a father who worries a bit too much about him. That too. Trigger/Content Warning: alcohol consumption. Some crude humor. Some suggestive scenes. Extended dialogue regarding sex. Childbirth/pregnancy loss discussed. Family issues. Some mature themes.

Othello by WilliamShakespeare

Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden.
