Uncle Vanya

“Spectacular…This new Vanya has a conversational smoothness that removes the cobwebs sticking to those other translations that never let you forget that the play was written in 1897… One of the most exquisite renderings of Uncle Vanya I’ve encountered.” —Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times “Quietly arresting… A canny and colloquial world-premiere translation… A beautifully rewarding exploration of...

Gast-Spiele Misafir (türkisch)

Eine Partysituation: Unter vielen Deutschen begegnen der 35-jährigen Leyla die gängigen Vorurteile gegen Türkinnen und Türken. Doch auch ihre Welt hat bestimmte Klischeevorstellungen. Frech und selbstbewusst, in pointierten Dialogen und mit stimmigen Charakteren, nimmt die Autorin beide Haltungen aufs Korn.

Чума (сборник)

Альбер Камю

Чума (сборник)

Два шедевра Альбера Камю – роман «Чума» и пьеса «Недоразумение» – объединены темами свободы и выбора, осознания человеком собственного бессилия перед лицом жестокого рока. Холодная хроника эпидемии чумы в курортном алжирском городке превращается в трагическую и пугающую притчу о смертельной опасности, пробуждающей в человеческой душе все лучшее – или худшее. И каждый встает перед выбором: бороться за жизнь, искать выход или смириться с господством чумы и неизбежной смертью. Драма...

Medea and Other Plays

Euripides

Medea and Other Plays

Euripides, along was Sophocles and Aeschylus, is largely responsible for the rise of Greek tragedy. It was in the 5th Century BC, during the height of Greece's cultural bloom, that Euripides lived and worked. Of his roughly ninety-two plays, only seventeen tragedies survive. Both ridiculed and lauded during his life, Euripides now stands as an innovator of the Greek drama. Collected here are four of Euripides' tragedies: «Alcestis», «Medea», «The Heracleidae», and «Hippolytus»....

Tis Pity She's a Whore and Other Plays

John Ford (1586-1637) was an English playwright and poet whose interest in aberrant psychology helped him create very unique, and very successful works. After a period of major collaboration with various playwrights, from about 1621 to 1625, Ford began working independently; writing plays for theatrical companies like the King's Men at the Blackfriars. Following the literary reign of such figures as Jonson, Marlowe and Shakespeare, Ford felt the need to shock and intrigue audiences with new...

Памела Жиро

В пьесе «Памела Жиро» противопоставлены, с одной стороны, искренняя любовь, бескорыстие, готовность пожертвовать собою ради любимого человека и алчность, тщеславие, погоня за богатым приданым, с другой стороны.

Benjamin Jonson (1572-1637) was a Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor, known best for his satirical plays and lyric poems. 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. For a few years around the turn of the century, Jonson had participated in the War of the Theatres with his rival playwrights, John Marston...

Philippe Quinault

Armida & Amadis & Roland

In these three librettos, Philippe Quinault turns from classical opera to medieval legends–Renaud and Armida, Amadis and Oriana, and Angelica and Roland–exploring the tensions between love and glory. As usual, the dramatist relates his stories deftly with classic simplicity. In these adaptions of traditional medieval stories of romance, enchantment, monsters, and magic, either the heroine (Armida or Angelica) loves the hero she should hate, or the hero falls for an enemy enchantress, and has to...
