Oscar Wilde

Vera, or The Nihilists, A Florentine Tragedy—A Fragment, and La Sainte Courtisane

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.

Under The Harvest Moon

Under The Harvest Moon

A shadowy form moved in a crouch along the creek bank, a stout club upraised and silhouetted against the sparkling surface of the stream. It approached the forms of the man and the woman as they lay quietly on the rug in the moonlight near the water's edge. The woman's head rested on the man's chest as he lay on his back, as if in a deep sleep. The blows from the club came quickly and viciously, crushing the flesh and bone of the man's head and face, and then the...

Uncle Vanya

Anton Chekhov

Uncle Vanya

Originally published in 1899, «Uncle Vanya» is widely considered one of Chekhov's most important plays. Essentially a reworking of an earlier Chekhov play, «The Wood Demon», the mood of Uncle Vanya is chiefly melancholic as the characters examine their respective miseries and failures in their lives to accomplish that which they might have hoped to. A classic tragicomedy, «Uncle Vanya» saw its first major performance in 1900 and has been praised as one of Chekhov's most important...

Ubu Roi, Ubu Cuckolded, and Ubu in Chains

Considered by some to have contributed to the birth of modernism, «Ubu Roi» is a comical play that is at once a wild and bizarre work which overturned the cultural rules, norms, and conventions of its day. A precursor to the «Theatre of the Absurd», the play satirizes the complacency, greed and abuse of power by the ruling class. In addition to «Ubu Roi,» Alfred Jarry wrote two sequels, «Ubu Cuckolded,» and «Ubu in Chains,» which were never performed in his lifetime. According to an essay...

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...

Tragedies

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, known commonly as Seneca, was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman and dramatist of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He is most noted for developing a new type of drama, the Senecan tragedy, which differed greatly from Greek tragedy. While the Greek tragedies were expansive and periodic, Senecan tragedies are more succinct and balanced. In Senecan tragedy, characters do not undergo much change, there is little or no catharsis in the end, and violence is acted out on...

Tis Pity She's a Whore and Other Plays

John Ford (1586-1637) was an English playwright and poet whose interest in aberrant psychology helped him create very unique, and very successful works. After a period of major collaboration with various playwrights, from about 1621 to 1625, Ford began working independently; writing plays for theatrical companies like the King's Men at the Blackfriars. Following the literary reign of such figures as Jonson, Marlowe and Shakespeare, Ford felt the need to shock and intrigue audiences with new...
