ISBN: 9780615262796 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The intellectual offspring of Ionesco, Beckett, and Pinter, Walter Wykes is proof that the Theatre of the Absurd lives on. In his plays, he creates a series of modern myths, tapping into something in the strata of the subconscious, through ritualism and rich, poetic language. The worlds he creates are brand new, and hilarious, yet each contains an ancient horror we all know and cannot escape and have never been able to hang one definitive word on.

The Fly: A Play
ISBN: 9780557414222 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The intellectual offspring of Ionesco, Beckett, and Pinter, Walter Wykes is known for his intense roles and dark subject matter. In this play, he takes us on a deliciously depraved tour de force as Murray, a celebrity author in the middle of a very public (and messy) divorce, finds himself unable to write. He has nothing more to say-that is, until he meets Emma, the wife of an obsessed fan. In Emma, Murray recognizes the possibility of a new muse, someone to inspire him, to get the words flowing again. In a dark, half-lit bar, he attempts to seduce her, to draw her, like a fly, into his web,...

The Mandrake
ISBN: 9780557677443 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Written while Machiavelli was in exile for allegedly plotting against the Medici clan, "The Mandrake" or "Mandragola" details the corruption of Italian society in a series of increasingly comical scenes that culminate in the cuckolding of a powerful Florentine aristocrat. The author depicts human nature just as he has come to know it, and the sinister fruits of his studies have delighted audiences to this day, for we recognize our own failures in Machiavelli's creations--characters too quick to compromise personal ethics in order to accommodate a corrupt and demeaning world, too easily...

He Who Gets Slapped and Other Plays
ISBN: 9781430320555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Leonid Andreyev was once considered one of Russia's greatest dramatists, but his opposition to the Bolshevik Revolution and the Communist government's unilateral support of naturalism on the stage conspired to undermine his career. He was imprisoned, died in poverty, and has become increasingly obscure. Andreyev is symbolic and romantic. Fate and Chance are the two dark, unknown, at times brutal forces which dwell ever before his mind's eye. He sees human beings in the form of ghosts and ghosts in the form of human beings. Andreyev's best-known play, "He Who Gets Slapped" tells the story of a...
