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.

The Misanthrope

Molière

The Misanthrope

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name of Moliere, stands without a rival at the head of French comedy. Born at Paris in January, 1622, where his father held a position in the royal household, he was educated at the Jesuit College de Clermont, and for some time studied law, which he soon abandoned for the stage. His life was spent in Paris and in the provinces, acting, directing performances, managing theaters, and writing plays. He had his share of applause from the king and...

Molière

The Misanthrope

Molière understood profoundly what makes us noble, pathetic, outrageous and funny, and in his splendid comedies satirized human folly to perfection. One of the best of his plays — and one of the greatest of all comedies — is The Misanthrope, first performed in 1666, when the King of France himself had assumed patronage of Molière's company, and the actor/playwright was at the height of his career.Spotlighting the absurdities of social and literary...

Aeschylus

The Oresteia (Agamemnon, The Libation-Bearers, and The Eumenides)

The importance of Æschylus in the development of the drama is immense. Before him tragedy had consisted of the chorus and one actor; and by introducing a second actor, expanding the dramatic dialogue thus made possible, and reducing the lyrical parts, he practically created Greek tragedy as we understand it. Like other writers of his time, he acted in his own plays, and trained the chorus in their dances and songs; and he did much to give impressiveness to the performances by his development of...

The Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides (Translated by E. D. A. Morshead with an introduction by Theodore Alois Buckley)

The importance of Aeschylus in the development of drama cannot be overstated. Before him tragedy had consisted of the chorus and one actor; and by introducing a second actor, expanding the dramatic dialogue, and reducing the lyrical parts, he practically created Greek tragedy as we know it. Like other writers of his time, he acted in his own plays, and trained the chorus in their dances and songs; and did much to improve the performances by his development of scene and costume on the stage. “The...

Going Nuclear

Stephen Hart

Going Nuclear

In 1969 a young chemist, Arthur Weiss, is recruited by an anti-war group to convert uranium into plutonium for the construction of a nuclear bomb. Arthur is told the bomb's only purpose is to establish a bargaining position with the government-that it will not be detonated. But as Arthur's involvement deepens, particularly relative to the group's attractive leader, Billie Lee, his life begins to spin out of control.

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,...

The Playboy of the Western World and Riders to the Sea

The plays of John Millington Synge (1871–1909) are filled with the humors, sorrows, and dreams of the country folk of the Aran Islands and the western Irish coastlands, where, in Synge's works, «we have a popular imagination that is fiery and magnificent, and tender.» The Playboy of the Western World, his most famous play, is sweetly funny and ironic as it follows its young hero's progress, in the eyes of others, from timid weakling to paragon of bravery.The shorter one-act...

The Rivals

The Rivals

During a brief but brilliant literary career, Irish-born dramatist and statesman Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816) wrote cleverly plotted plays that revealed his nimble wit and keen eye for comic situations. Two of them — The School for Scandal and The Rivals — are among the funniest in the English language.The Rivals, brimming with false identities and with romantic entanglements carried on amid a cloud of parental disapproval, satirizes the pretentiousness and...
