  • Four Major Plays, Volume I (Signet Classics)

    Four Major Plays: Volume I A Doll House • The Wild Duck • Hedda Gabler • The Master Builder Among the greatest and best known of Ibsen’s works, these four plays brilliantly exemplify his landmark contributions to the theater: his realistic dialogue, probing of social problems, and depiction of characters’ inner lives as well as their actions. Rich in symbolism and often autobiographical, each of these dramas deals convincingly and provocatively with such universal themes as greed, fear, and sexual hostility, and confronts the eternal conflict between reality and illusion. These Rolf Fjelde translations have been widely acclaimed as the definitive versions of the major works of the father of modern theater.

  • Women of Will: The Remarkable Evolution of Shakespeare's Female Characters

    Women of Will is a fierce and funny exploration of Shakespeare’s understanding of the feminine. Tina Packer, one of our foremost Shakespeare experts, shows that Shakespeare began, in his early comedies, by writing women as shrews to be tamed or as sweet little things with no independence of thought. The women of the history plays are much more interesting, beginning with Joan of Arc. Then, with the extraordinary Juliet, there is a dramatic shift: suddenly Shakespeare’s women have depth, motivation, and understanding of life more than equal to that of the men. As Shakespeare ceases to write women as predictable caricatures and starts writing them from the inside, his women become as dimensional, spirited, spiritual, active, and sexual as any of his male characters. Wondering if Shakespe... [Read More]

  • Brilliant Traces

    For a one woman/one man cast. The setting is a remote cabin in the wilds of Alaska, and while a blizzard rages outside Henry lies sleeping under a heap of blankets. Suddenly he is awakened by the insistent knocking of an unexpected visitor - who turns out to be Rosannah, a distraught young woman who has fled all the way from Arizona to escape her impending marriage, and who bursts into the cabin still fully dressed for her wedding. Exhausted, she throws herself on Henry's mercy, but after sleeping for two solid days her vigour - and combativeness - return. Both characters, it develops, have been wounded and embittered by life, and both are refugees from so-called civilisation. Thrown together in the confines of the snowbound cabin they alternately repel and attract each other as, in theatr... [Read More]
