Iphigenia in Tauris

Euripides

Iphigenia in Tauris

"The Iphigenia in Tauris is not in the modern sense a tragedy; it is a romantic play, beginning in a tragic atmosphere and moving through perils and escapes to a happy end. To the archaeologist the cause of this lies in the ritual on which the play is based. All Greek tragedies that we know have as their nucleus something which the Greeks called an Aition-a cause or origin. They all explain some ritual or observance or commemorate some great event." So begins the preface to «Iphigenia in...

Saint Joan

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Saint Joan

First performed in 1923, “Saint Joan” is the celebrated play by George Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright, social activist, and Noble Prize-winner. Premiering three years after Joan of Arc was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, Shaw wrote “Saint Joan” because he was dissatisfied with how the saint was often portrayed in literature and history and wanted to present a more realistic and human Joan. Considered Shaw’s only tragedy and one of his most significant works, “Saint Joan” follows the...

Faust

Adolphe d'Ennery

Faust

French dramatist Adolphe d'Ennery (1811-1899) follows the Faust story originally developed by Goethe, but with a leavening of humor that the German playwright lacked. Especially entertaining is the character of the female demon Sulphurine, who's created by Faust's servant Wagner to be his slave. Needless to say, this she-devil is no one's mistress! Faust initially repels the advances of Mephistopheles, but suddenly finds himself in love with the young woman Marguerite, whom...

The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays

“The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays” brings together Oscar Wilde’s most popular plays which first appeared between 1891 and 1895. Despite his relatively short theatrical career, Wilde’s plays have enjoyed a sustained popularity. A classic satire of Victorian society, “The Importance of Being Earnest” is one of the author’s most frequently performed works. The play trivializes its characters, who through a series of deceptions pretend to be people that they are not in order to escape...

Lady Inger of Ostrat

Henrik Ibsen

Lady Inger of Ostrat

Set in 1528, «Lady Inger of Ostrat» is Henrik Ibsen's historical drama based on Lady Inger of Austraat, who was the wealthiest Norwegian land-owner of her era. Swedish protesters of Danish rule of Norway, which since the Union of Kalmar in 1397 has largely become a province of Denmark, approach Lady Inger for her support in an insurrection against the Danes. As the fate of the nation of Norway lies in the balance, great political and personal intrigue abounds in this classic Ibsen drama.

Under The Harvest Moon

Gary Blinco

Under The Harvest Moon

A shadowy form moved in a crouch along the creek bank, a stout club upraised and silhouetted against the sparkling surface of the stream. It approached the forms of the man and the woman as they lay quietly on the rug in the moonlight near the water's edge. The woman's head rested on the man's chest as he lay on his back, as if in a deep sleep. The blows from the club came quickly and viciously, crushing the flesh and bone of the man's head and face, and then the...

Back to Methuselah

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Back to Methuselah

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,...

Calvary

W. B. Yeats

Calvary

Born and educated in Dublin, Ireland, William Butler Yeats discovered early in his literary career a fascination with Irish folklore and the occult. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats produced a vast collection of stories, songs, and poetry of Ireland's historical and legendary past. These writings helped secure for Yeats recognition as a leading proponent of Irish nationalism and Irish cultural independence. His close friend, Ezra Pound, exposed the playwright to the...

Atradene un eņģelis

Beta ir bārene, kuras vecākus noslepkavoja nezināmi ļaundari, meitenei vēl mazai esot. Mīlestības apvīta bērnība Betai ir palikusi sveša pasaule, tikpat sveša kā mātes glāsts. Viņu audzina pamāte – rupja, neizglītota sieviete. Meitene mīlestību meklē pie svešiniekiem, un daži to neliedz gan bērnunamos, gan internātskolā. Sveši cilvēki pamazām iedēsta mazās meitenes sirdī jaunu puķi, kas lēnām izaug, uzplaukst un pārvēršas bijībā pret skaisto. Taču ir vēl kāds, kas vienmēr ir kopā ar Betu ―...

Where There is Nothing

W. B. Yeats

Where There is Nothing

William Butler Yeats was born near Dublin in 1865, and was encouraged from a young age to pursue a life in the arts. He attended art school for a short while, but soon found that his talents and interest lay in poetry rather than painting. He became an instrumental figure in the «Irish Literary Revival» of the 20th Century that redefined Irish writing. Yeats was a complex man, who struggled between beliefs in the strange and supernatural, and scorn for modern science. He was intrigued by the...

Poetaster, or, His Arraignment

Benjamin Jonson (1572-1637) was a Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor, known best for his satirical plays and lyric poems. His 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 had a knack for absurdity and hypocrisy, a trait that made him immensely popular in the 17th century Renaissance period. From about 1599-1601, a...

Karl Marx In Soho: A Play On History

The premise of this witty and insightful "play on history" is that Karl Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, though, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case. Zinn introduces us to Marx's wife, Jenny, his children, the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, and a host of other characters. Marx in Soho is a...
