Sejanus, His Fall

Benjamin Jonson (1572-1637) was a Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor, known best for his satirical plays and lyric poems. He worked shortly as an actor in «The Admiral's Men», but soon moved on to writing original plays for the troupe. Jonson's work was primarily in comedies for the public theatres, very few of his tragedies have survived. «Sejanus, His Fall,» is the earliest known attempt by the playwright at tragedy, and although the play is less popular than his comedic works, it...

Rooiland

Hulle’t ’n bees gesteel by die wit man Rabie. Die bees se naam was Rooiland. Hulle’t vir Rooiland geslag en feesgevier. Hulle drink uit die horings: Kilikijan die bloed, Nongoloza die gal.

Памела Жиро

Оноре Бальзак

Памела Жиро

В пьесе «Памела Жиро» противопоставлены, с одной стороны, искренняя любовь, бескорыстие, готовность пожертвовать собою ради любимого человека и алчность, тщеславие, погоня за богатым приданым, с другой стороны. Корыстные соображения в большей или меньшей степени руководят поступками всех выведенных в пьесе представителей буржуазии – родственников Жюля Руссо.

Saving the Queen

Theophile Gautier

Saving the Queen

Well-known French writer Théophile Gautier and Bernard Lopez combine their talents in this send-up of the cloak-and-sword dramas so popular with the Romantics. When the Spanish Queen's horse runs away with her, two unknown caballeros rescue Elizabeth from certain death–despite the fact that Spanish law prohibits anyone but the King and her closest attendants from touching her. But the Queen is not ungrateful, and Doña Beatrix, a Lady-in-Waiting, promises to marry the unknown savior, sight...

Ben Jonson

Eastward Ho

Benjamin Jonson (1572-1637) was a Renaissance dramatist, poet and actor, known best for his satirical plays and lyric poems. 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. For a few years around the turn of the century, Jonson had participated in the War of the Theatres with his rival playwrights, John Marston...

Armida & Amadis & Roland

Philippe Quinault

Armida & Amadis & Roland

In these three librettos, Philippe Quinault turns from classical opera to medieval legends–Renaud and Armida, Amadis and Oriana, and Angelica and Roland–exploring the tensions between love and glory. As usual, the dramatist relates his stories deftly with classic simplicity. In these adaptions of traditional medieval stories of romance, enchantment, monsters, and magic, either the heroine (Armida or Angelica) loves the hero she should hate, or the hero falls for an enemy enchantress, and has to...

Getting Married

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Getting Married

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 Orange Earth

Adam Small

The Orange Earth

This drama, a lyrical and dreamy but at the same time searingly painful piece about reminiscence and injustice, was written in 1978, in the heyday of apartheid and two years after the Soweto uprising. It has been staged several times, but this is the first time it has been published. It is essentially a piece of resistance theatre, but its artistic strength and lasting relevance lie in the way it demonstrates how painfully intimate resistance and loyalty are entangled. The Orange Earth is...

In fleeing from his rebelling subjects in the West...

Ubu Roi

Alfred Jarry

Ubu Roi

When it first opened in Paris in late 1896, Ubu Roi immediately outraged audiences with its scatological references and surrealist style. Spectators rioted during the premiere (and final) performance and unrelenting controversy over the play's meaning followed. The quality and stunning impact of the work, however, was never questioned.Early drafts of the play were written by Jarry in his teens to ridicule one of his teachers. The farce was done in the form of stylized burlesque, satirizing...
