The Duchess of Malfi and Other Plays John Webster
ISBN: 9780199539284 Год издания: 2009 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский This volume offers John Webster's two great Jacobean tragedies, The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi, together with his brilliant tragicomedy, The Devil's Law-Case, and the comedy written with William Rowley, A Cure for a Cuckold.

Three Revenge Tragedies : The Revenger's Tragedy; The White Devil; The Changeling John Webster
ISBN: 0141441240, 9780141441245 Год издания: 2005 Издательство: Penguin Classics Язык: Английский Following Queen Elizabeth I’s reign, the new court of King James was beset by political instability and moral corruption. This atmosphere provided fertile ground for the dramatists of the age, who explored the ways in which social decadence and the abuse of power breed resentment, leading inexorably to violent retribution. In Cyril Tourneur’s The Revenger’s Tragedy, the debauched son of an Italian Duke attempts to rape the virtuous Gloriana—a veiled reference to Elizabeth I. John Webster’s The White Devil depicts a sinister world of intrigue and murderous infidelity, while The Changeling, perhaps Thomas Middleton’s supreme achievement,…

Social Acupuncture Darren ODonnell
ISBN: 9781770562080 Издательство: Ingram Язык: Английский Theatre doesn’t have much relevance anymore. Or so acclaimed playwright Darren O’Donnell tells us. The dynamics of unplanned social interaction, he says, are far more compelling than any play he could produce. So his latest show, A Suicide-Site Guide to the City, isn’t really a show; it’s an interactive chitchat about memory, depression, and 9/11, a dazzling whirl of talking streetcars, pizza and schizophrenia. And it’s hilarious. O’Donnell’s artistic practice has evolved into something as close to hanging out as you can come and still charge admission.’ With his theatre company, Mammalian Diving Reflex, O’Donnell has generated a series…

Molière, or The Cabal of Hypocrites and Don Quixote Михаил Булгаков
ISBN: 9781559365376 Год издания: 2017 Издательство: Theatre Communications Group Язык: Английский “Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and vivid stylists of English.” – James Wood, New Yorker Best known for his novel The Master and Margarita , Mikhail Bulgakov had a knack for political allegory.

Charged with cultural subtext and controversial intrigue, the plays in this exceptional new volume from TCG’s Russian Drama Series are given new light by the foremost translators of Russian classic literature, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, in collaboration with renowned playwright Richard Nelson. Richard Nelson ’s many plays include The Apple Family: Scenes from Life in the Country ( That Hopey Changey Thing , Sweet and Sad , Sorry , Regular Singing ); The Gabriels: Election Year in the Life of One Family ( Hungry , What Did You Expect? , Women of a Certain Age ); Nikolai and the Others ; Goodnight Children Everywhere (Oliver Award for Best Play); Franny’s Way ; Some Americans Abroad ; Frank’s Home ; Two Shakespearean Actors and James Joyce’s The Dead (with Shaun Davey; Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical).

ISBN: 9781559368773 Издательство: Ingram Язык: Английский “How many plays make us long for grace? Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Hudes is such a rare play; it is a yearning, funny, deeply sad and deeply lyrical piece, a worthy companion to Hudes’s Elliot, A Soldier’s Fugue.
