Spring Awakening

Франк Ведекинд

Spring Awakening

“Spring Awakening” is German playwright’s Frank Wedekind’s controversial and shocking drama of sexuality and repression. First performed in 1906 in Berlin, though written by Wedekind several years earlier, the play focuses on the lives on several adolescents coming of age in late nineteenth century Germany.

R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)

We have Czech writer Karel Čapek to thank for the invention of the word robot and generally for the introduction of the idea of artificial intelligence to the world of literature. His play, “R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)” was written in 1920 and was first performed in 1921. The play was an instant success and was translated into over 30 languages within two years of its first performance. The play begins in a factory that makes the “robots”, which could be more accurately described...

Casper Hauser

Auguste Anicet-Bourgeois

Casper Hauser

In 1828 a young man in rags appeared in the German city of Nurnberg, saying that he'd been kept isolated in a dungeon all of his life. Was he the bastard offshoot of some noble or royal family, secreted away to preserve the honor of the house? Within a few months he was dead under mysterious circumstances, his mystery still unsolved. CASPER HAUSER uses the uproar caused by Hauser's emergence to focus the white heat of the authors' indignation on the systematic maltreatment of...

Делец

В комедии «Делец» изображается битва человека с кредиторами и уловки, к которым он прибегает, чтобы ускользнуть от них. С большой сатирической остротой изображает автор окружение Меркаде: темных дельцов, биржевых зайцев, ростовщиков, аферистов – словом, всю накипь буржуазного общества.

The Philanderer

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

The Philanderer

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) is revered as one of the great British dramatists, credited not only with memorable works, but the revival of the then-suffering English theatre. Shaw was born in Dublin, Ireland, left mostly to his own devices after his mother ran off to London to pursue a musical career. He educated himself for the most part, and eventually worked for a real estate agent. This experience founded in him a concern for social injustices, seeing poverty and general unfairness afoot,...

Вотрен

Оноре Бальзак

Вотрен

Пьеса посвящена разоблачению ложной, лицемерной аристократической морали. Автор наделяет Вотрена чертами, которые роднят его с героями романтических драм. Вотрен не лишен таинственности, он располагает большой властью, ибо у него в подчинении преступный мир, но эту власть он применяет для доброго дела: он всею душой предан своему воспитаннику – отвергнутому сыну герцога де Монсореля – и делает все возможное, чтобы он был счастлив. Ради него Вотрен жертвует и собственным благополучием.

Спектакль

Спектакль

Семейная жизнь – спектакль. У кого-то – оперетта, у кого-то – драма абсурда. А если речь идет о знаменитостях, то «билеты» в этот «театр» раскупают на годы вперед… Когда герой пьесы «Спектакль» – известный летчик – внезапно погибает, его личная жизнь становится предметом интриг и домыслов. Жена, любовница, кого из них он любил больше и любил ли вообще?

A Chaste Maid in Cheapside

Thomas Middleton

A Chaste Maid in Cheapside

Thomas Middleton (1580-1627), a bricklayer's son, rose to become one of the most eminent playwrights of the Jacobean period. Along with Ben Johnson he helped shape the dynamic course of drama in Renaissance England. His range is broad, as his work successfully covers comedy, tragedy, and history. Praised during his life as well as today, Middleton remains relevant and influential. In «A Chaste Maid in Cheapside» (1630), we see Middleton at the heights of his comedic powers. A satire set in...

Doin Wildcat

The First National Black Playwrights Conference and Workshop held in Canberra in January 1987 was a hectic affair. More than one participant called on Mudrooroo to use the proceedings (in the sense of what was happening) and the stories going around in a book. Doin Wildcat was that book. It has been called his most Aboriginal work and it should be as it stems from that historical conference and what happened there transferred of course to – well – the world of Wildcat.<br /> <br...

Everyman and Other Plays

Written in Middle English during the Tudor period, “Everyman” is the most famous example of the medieval morality play.

God, frustrated with the wicked and...

Epicoene, or, The Silent Woman

Ben Jonson's career began in 1597 when he held a fixed engagement in the «Admiral's Men», and although he was unsuccessful as an actor, his literary talent was apparent and he began writing original plays for the troupe. Jonson's works are particularly recognizable because of his consistencies in style, intricacy of plot, characterization and setting. He focused on creating works that implemented elements of the realistic as well as the absurd. His reputation diminished somewhat...

The Misanthrope (Translated by Henri Van Laun with an Introduction by Eleanor F. Jourdain)

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known popularly by his stage name Molière, is regarded as one of the masters of French comedic drama. When Molière began acting in Paris there were two well-established theatrical companies, those of the Hôtel de Bourgogne and the Marais. Joining these theatrical companies would have been impossible for a new member of the acting profession like Molière and thus he performed with traveling troupes of actors in the French provinces. It was during this period that Molière...
