Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet by Helen Morris
One of Shakespeare's most popular and accessible plays, Romeo and Juliet tells the story of two star-crossed lovers and the unhappy fate that befell them as a result of a long and bitter feud between their families. The play contains some of Shakespeare's most beautiful and lyrical love poetry and is perhaps the finest celebration of the joys of young love ever written. Shakespeare's use of his poetic dramatic structure, especially effects such as switching between comedy and tragedy to heighten tension, his expansion of minor characters, and his use of sub-plots to embellish the story, has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play ascribes different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops.HELEN MORRIS started The Stencil Library in 1988 after noticing a void in the home-decorating market for the stencils that her graphic designer husband Michael Chippendale created and utilized in his work. Since its inception, The Stencil Library has amassed an outstanding database of over 4,000 stencil designs, representing a diverse spectrum of global, historical, and contemporary decorative styles. To keep up with consumer demand, the company continues to innovate and create new collections on a regular basis. It also creates custom designs and has created cut stencils for kings, politicians, and celebrities. Helen and Michael run their company from Stocksfield Hall in Northumberland, England, where they live.
The house, which is frequently featured in magazines and on television as a showcase for their work, is open to the public once a month. Helen is well known as an authority on the subject and is in regular demand for talks and demonstrations in Europe and America. The Stencil Library blog (www.designinspiration.typepad.com) was started in 2007 to provide inspiration and information about stencil-related decoration, as well as the more photogenic parts of life at The Stencil Library. Her second novel is a sequel to her first.
