675 кн.
В сборник вошли три пьесы Бернарда Шоу, раскрывающие разные грани его драматургического таланта. «Цезарь и Клеопатра» – абсолютный шедевр его творческого наследия, беспощадная историческая сатира на вечные темы политики, войны и борьбы за власть. В 1945 г. режиссер Габриэль Паскаль снял по пьесе фильм, главные роли в котором исполнили Вивьен Ли и Клод Рейнс. «Другой остров Джона Булля» – образец драмы идей – посвящен проблеме отношений Англии и Ирландии, которую Шоу, будучи ирландцем, всегда...

«Иди скорей меня раздень!
Как я устал! Я скоро лягу.
Живее отстегни мне шпагу!..
Я задыхаюсь целый день.
Горю, пылаю, душно мне,
Как саламандре на огне.
Их тысячи ты уничтожишь,
Когда раздеться мне поможешь.
Скорей сними камзол с меня!
Тому не нужно одеянье,
Кто весь – от мысли до желанья –
Есть воплощение огня…»

“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...

Haldin, the man who committed the murder, seeks asylum with Razumov–and his assistance in escaping Russia. Razumov has no sympathy for his friend and gives him up to the Okhrana (the secret police). Reluctantly, Razumov is then recruited as an agent and sent to Switzerland to infiltrate the radical group behind Haldin....

pppeeeaaaccceee, is a vast, imaginative and mesmerizing glide through Life and Power. The play is set in Ephemeral; three people firmly floating chat – in O'Donnell's inimitable rapid-fire style – about the revolution. Which revolution? Good question. A gently aggressive meditation, pppeeeaaaccceee examines our being, asks us what we're doing and reminds us that there are monsters in here. Peace. Say it slow, stretch it out, make it last forever.

Contained in this volume are three of Oscar Wilde's shorter dramatic works. ‘Vera, or the Nihilists’, the longest of the three, is a complete four-act play with a prologue. ‘A Florentine Tragedy—A Fragment’, is as the title would suggest a fragment of an act and ‘La Sainte Courtisane’ is also but a single act. Wilde fans will delight in these shorter examples of his talent as a dramatic humorist.

'This is a record of our version of grassroots theatre. The idea was to take a group of actors out to a farming community and build a play of what we could see and learn. There is no story or «plot» as such … Nevertheless, we hope that you can see many stories woven into the themes of this play and that out of it will emerge a picture of a complex and living community.' – Paul Thompson
