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...

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...

Легенда о чернокнижнике докторе Фаусте, продавшем душу дьяволу, уже без малого пять столетий служит источником вдохновения для создания шедевров мирового искусства. Первое произведение в этом ряду, оказавшее существенное влияние на всю последующую литературу о Фаусте, появилось в 1594 году, через год после загадочной смерти его автора – английского драматурга Кристофера Марло, ровесника Шекспира. Разочаровавшись в современных науках и богословии, ученый из Виттенберга Иоганн Фауст ищет новые...

«Немезида» – единственная драма основателя Нобелевских премий, изданная на шведском языке в Париже в 1897 г., после смерти А.Нобеля.

В 2003 году в Стокгольме трагедия А.Нобеля «Немезида» издана в полном объёме на эсперанто и шведском языке. Пьеса в прозе «Немезида» является крайне...

Speed-the-Plow is an exhilaratingly sharp, comical, disturbing play about the power of money and sex in Hollywood, and how they corrupt two movie producers. Speed-the-Plow opened at Lincoln Center to sold-out seats, rave reviews and much fanfare in March 1988—staring Madonna, Joe Mantegna, and Ron Silver—and later moved to and had a long-standing run on Broadway.
