Mimi Pinson and Other Plays
ISBN: 9781479400942 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Three French comedies focusing on Parisian women and their intricate love lives. MIMI PINSON, by Jean Bayard and Philippe Dumanoir, is a carefree, self-supporting, independent woman. She's a grisette (working girl) who loves as she pleases, doesn't care about money, and is both happy and charming in her simple life. THE TYPE YOU DON'T MARRY, by Edouard Pailleron, tells the tale of the girl Adrienne, who after being a mistress for six years, finally succeeds in marrying her lover.

The Disguised Lover and Other Plays
ISBN: 9781479401307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Three French comedies of love and marriage. Charles Favart contributes two comic operas of considerable verve and humor. In THE DISGUISED LOVER, Julie pretends to be a man, and Clitandre pretends to be a peasant. But its all in good fun, and while the play doesnt take itself seriously, alls well that ends well. RUSTIC AMOURS is a strange but effective blend of classical opera themes (shepherds and shepherdesses in love), combined with satire about Parisian fops and uncouth peasants--all of whom love the same beautiful shepherdess. Philippe Destouches TRIPLE MARRIAGE is a...

William Shakespeare
ISBN: 9781434401250 / Angielski / Miękka / 2024 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The man we encounter in Ferdinand Dugue's 1857 play is not the bland Shakespeare of history, about whose personal life we know so little. No, this is the playwright we would liked to have known: poet, romantic, hero . . . a larger-than-life figure cutting a swath through sixteenth-century England.
Building on the few known facts of Shakespeare's life -- his unhappy marriage, his friendship with Essex, his favor with Queen Elizabeth I -- Dugue has constructed a remarkably believable portrait of the man who might been been. A first-rate historical drama translated for the very first...

The Rose Princess and Other Plays

THE ROSE PRINCESS, THE GOLDEN GOBLIN, and FROGGY are fairy tales for slightly depraved children. All three have quasi-medieval settings, and are sassy, irreverent, and fun to perform. REHEARSING DON QUIXOTE is a comedy of students being enlisted in a new version of Don Quixote--only to drive their teacher to distraction. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, based on a story by Arlo Bates, focuses on three women mourning the death of their "fiance" during the Civil War--only to discover that he's not quite dead yet CHRISTMAS AT THOMPSON...

The Tree of Chastity and Other Plays
ISBN: 9781479401062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Four French comedies by Jean-Francois Regnard (with Charles Dufresny), who's considered to be the best comic playwright of his age after Moliere. The sardonic and amusing THE TREE OF CHASTITY has a slight plot, but the double-entendres flying rapidly right and left keep the audience well-entertained. WAIT FOR ME UNDER THE ELM is another farce filled with verve aplenty. THE UNFORESEEN RETURN is a reworking of Plautus' Haunted House with a seventeenth-century setting. THE RIDICULOUS MERCHANT is another comedic romp. These bubbly, even obscene farces still hold up well today, with all of the...

Here are three French plays from the Enlightenment Period dealing with the subject of slavery. ISLE OF SLAVES, by Pierre de Marivaux, is the longest and most challenging of the three. It postulates an island in the ancient Greek world where the slaves have revolted and seized power, killing all of their former masters and declaring their independence. Now, any "masters" shipwrecked on their island are forced to live as slaves of their own slaves to impress upon them the wrongs they've committed. THE MERCHANT OF SMYRNA, by Nicolas Chamfort, and THE BEAUTIFUL SLAVE, by Antoine-Jean Dumaniant,...
