Bohemia; or, La Bohème

Henry Murger

Bohemia; or, La Bohème

Henry Murger wrote a series of popular short stories in the late 1840s describing the poverty of the young artists of his generation in Paris, basing them on his personal experiences. These were adapted for the stage by Théodore Barrière in 1857. The play follows the fortunes of several young people, including Marcel (a painter), Musette (his promiscuous lover), Rodolphe (a writer), and Mimi (his faithful but fatally ill companion). Unable to support themselves from their art, they are doomed...

Последняя остановка (сборник)

Эрих Ремарк

Последняя остановка (сборник)

«Последняя остановка» – единственная пьеса, написанная Ремарком. Благодаря напряженному и увлекательному сюжету, она была положена в основу нескольких успешных телепостановок и до сих пор не сходит с подмосток Германии. Сценарий «Последний акт» – яростная отповедь нацистскому режиму. Ремарк не щадит простых немцев, отговаривавшихся незнанием того, что происходило в их стране в реальности, или исполнением приказов. Приговор его прост и беспощаден: виновны все – и те, кто действовал, и те, кто...

The Rivals

Ричард Шеридан

The Rivals

During a brief but brilliant literary career, Irish-born dramatist and statesman Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816) wrote cleverly plotted plays that revealed his nimble wit and keen eye for comic situations. Two of them — The School for Scandal and The Rivals — are among the funniest in the English language.The Rivals, brimming with false identities and with romantic entanglements carried on amid a cloud of parental disapproval, satirizes the pretentiousness and...

The Rivals

Ричард Шеридан

The Rivals

"The Rivals" was Richard Brinsley Sheridan's first play and while at first it was not well received it would go on to prove to be a great success and establish Sheridan as a major talent. «The Rivals» satirizes the pretentiousness of English society in the late 18th century. As witty and accessible today as when it was first written, «The Rivals» sparkles with the humor that Sheridan and his writing are known for.

Old Creole Days

Frank J. Morlock

Old Creole Days

The nineteenth-century Southern writer (George Washington Cable) who wrote the stories on which this play is based was born in New Orleans, and the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of that great city impregnates all his work, and gives him a cast of eccentric and memorable characters worthy of Dickens. Dramatist Frank J. Morlock centers the action of his play around the Café des Exilés in the 1820s, and the square in front of it where all sorts of folks mix together. This setting gives a...

John Ford

The Fancies Chaste and Noble

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 collaboration with various playwrights, from about 1621 to 1625, Ford began working independently, writing plays for theatrical companies like the «Kings 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 and exciting...

The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and Other Plays (with an Introduction by Henry Carrington Lancaster)

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known popularly by his stage name Molière, is regarded as one of the masters of French comedic drama. When Molière began acting in Paris there were two well-established theatrical companies, those of the Hôtel de Bourgogne and the Marais. Joining these theatrical companies would have been impossible for a new member of the acting profession like Molière and thus he performed with traveling troupes of actors in the French provinces. It was during this period that Molière...

Jean Racine

The Thebaid

The 17th century dramatist Jean Racine was considered, along with Molière and Corneille, as one of the three great playwrights of his era. The quality of Racine's poetry has been described as possibly his most important contribution to French literature and his use of the alexandrine poetic line is one of the best examples of such use noted for its harmony, simplicity and elegance. While critics over the centuries have debated the worth of Jean Racine, at present, he is widely considered a...

Как важно быть серьезным. Пьесы. Книга для чтения на английском языке

Оскар Уайльд (1854–1900) – английский писатель, досконально изучивший все подводные камни семейной жизни. В двух самых известных своих пьесах («Веер леди Уиндермир» и «Как важно быть серьезным») он предоставляет читателю право самому ответить на животрепещущие вопросы: следует ли безоговорочно доверять своей второй половине? Надо ли идеализировать спутника жизни или лучше принимать его со всеми недостатками? Прощать за ошибки, совершенные в прошлом, или безжалостно осуждать, сокрушая то, что...

Мера за меру

«Есть в жизни у тебя черты такие, Что наблюдателю по ним легко Прочесть всю будущность твою. И сам ты И качества твои не таковы, Чтоб ты на одного себе их тратил: Себе не вправе ты принадлежать. Как факелы, нас небо зажигает Не для того, чтоб для себя горели…»

Deirdre

W. B. Yeats

Deirdre

William Butler Yeats was born near Dublin in 1865, and was encouraged from a young age to pursue a life in the arts. He attended art school for a short while, but soon found that his talents and interest lay in poetry rather than painting. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats produced a vast collection of stories, songs, and poetry of Ireland's historical and legendary past. These writings helped secure for Yeats recognition as a leading proponent of Irish nationalism and...

Declarations

Jordan Tannahill

Declarations

This is a pressed bruise. This is Greta Garbo's smile. This is the smell of Windex. Declarations is an imperfect chronicle of a life lived; a body pulled through time, encountering meteorological phenomenon, mythology, political calamity, pop culture, and everyday happenstance along the way. Written in the wake of his mother's terminal cancer diagnosis, Tannahill's Declarations is a staggering archive of sensations, memories, and voices asserting that here lived, for a time, a...

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Androcles and the Lion

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,...
