Major Barbara

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Major Barbara

Fabian socialist and ardent proselytizer, George Bernard Shaw viewed his role as a playwright as far more than that of an entertainer. His audiences heard fully articulated sermons on moral and economic issues, a potentially dry theatrical experience enlivened by Shaw's genius for creating vital characters and scintillating dialogue. Major Barbara offers a sparkling example of its author's unique gift for presenting social theories in an engaging format.The eponymous heroine, an...

Madame Bovary: A Play in Three Acts

Based on the classic novel by Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary tells the tale of Emma Bovary, who is romantic by nature, and believes herself the equal of the heroines depicted in the romantic novels she reads. When she moves to a rural town in France, she finds herself utterly bored by country and small-town life. Although her husband is a good man, Emma has no respect for him.

Following the literary reign of such figures as Jonson, Marlowe, and Shakespeare, Ford felt the need to shock and intrigue audiences with new and exciting material....

L'Assommoir: A Play in Five Acts

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...

Krismis van Map Jacobs

Na sewe jaar word ’n gevreesde bendeleier Map Jacobs op parool uit die tronk vrygelaat en op almal se lippe is die vraag, het Map verander of is hy steeds die ou Map? Die drama speel hom af na die gedwonge verskuiwings vanuit die Kaap na die vlaktes. Dit gee die leser ’n blik op die leefwyses van die ontworteldes, hul lief en leed en sommige se desperate hunkering na ’n beter bestaan.
