Спектакль

Джон Голсуорси

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? Блистательная драматургическая эскапада в духе Сомерсета Моэма заставит вас улыбнуться и в очередной раз вспомнить слова Шекспира о том, что не...

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...

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...

«Mirror up to Nature»

Ours would appear to be an era of unprecedented variation in the mediation of meaning – television, computer, the older forms of radio and print. Since, however, such profusion of resources has not of itself guaranteed enhanced profundity or sophistication in our modes of understanding – psychological, sociological, philosophical, historical, and theological – the issue of the continued relevance of cultural forms, dependent both on the human voice and on ritualization, presents itself for...

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

O'Flaherty V.C. and Overruled

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,...
