Statelessness and (il)legitimacy in Al Bassam’s Petrol Station and Shakespeare’s King Lear

Introduction

Commenting on the imminent performance of his play Petrol Station at the prestigious Kennedy Center in Washington in 2017, Kuwaiti British playwright Sulayman Al Bassam states that Petrol Station is “a modern dystopian story which addresses the problems of human identity, borders, loyalty, betrayal, love, ambition and the struggle for power in a civil war-torn country where the currency of exchange is smuggled petrol and fleeing refugees” (Kassraie, 2017, para. 2). Al Bassam adds that the play is “the tragic backdrop to a familial standoff where the crimes and secrets of one generation make violent claims on the lives of the next” (Kassraie, 2017, para. 2).

William Shakespeare

next →← prev

William Shakespeare, a name that needs no recognition, was the greatest dramatist of English literature. However, very few facts about his life are recorded, even if that is also a guess and not certain. There is no authentic biography of Shakespeare available.

Shakespeare was born on April 231564 in Stratford, Warwickshire. Both his father, John Shakespeare and his mother, Mary Arden, were uneducated. In his early life, perhaps Shakespeare attained grammar school where he learnt some Latin and Greek. It is considered that he never went to high school or college. Nature was his teacher, and he had a deep insight through which he learned human nature. His works were mostly based on his imagination and his perception and experience of human life. When he was 14, due to his family's economic crisis, he had to leave his school to do some job to support his family. It is not clear what kind of job he had done. There is speculation that perhaps he was a school teacher or clerk of a lawyer.

Shakespeare Married Life

Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway when he was 18 years old and she was 26. On November 27, 1582, the Diocese of Worcester's consistory court granted a permit for marriage. Two of Hathaway's neighbours placed
