Émile Zola (1840-1902) was one of France's greatest novelists of the nineteenth century, being most famous as a writer for Nana (the story of a courtesan), and in the political world for his role in exposing the frame-up of Captain Dreyfus. However, he had limited success as a dramatist until he partnered with William Busnach, an Algerian Jew. This adaptation of the Zola novel of the same name is a powerful exposé of life among the working poor, and the ravaging effects of alcholism on...

Pass Over combines two seminal yet disparate texts of Western literature—the Book of Exodus and Beckett’s Waiting for Godot —and transforms their themes of escape and the existential challenges of waiting in her depiction of two young Black men as they joke and dream about someday “passing over” into a new life while simultaneously trying to survive in a hostile and dangerous environment. The play was first produced at the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago in the summer of 2017, with Danya Taymor...

«Откуда этот жемчуг?
Он сброшен со второго этажа,
Чтоб подкупить садовника. Проклятье
Уловкам вашим женским. Несмотря
На мой надзор, на обыски, изъятья,
Конца нет драгоценностям у вас.
До них мы доберемся…»

"Pygmalion" is considered to be one of George Bernard Shaw's greatest works. It is the story of how the arrogant phonetics professor Henry Higgins teaches the lowly flower girl Eliza Doolittle to lose her cockney accent and speak like a lady. «Pygmalion» is a witty comedic play that examines the artificiality of social class distinctions and shows that it takes more than just talking like a lady to become one.
