Bakkhai
ISBN: 9780811227100 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Anne Carson writes, “Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. The Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up.”

Aristophanes' engagement with tragedy is one of the most striking features of his comedies: Euripides appears repeatedly as a character in these plays, jokes about tragedy and tragic poets abound, and parodies of tragedy frequently underlie whole scenes and even the plots of these plays. Tragedy on the Comic Stage contextualizes this engagement with tragedy within Greek comedy as a genre by examining paratragedy in the fragments of Aristophanes' contemporaries and successors in the fifth and fourth centuries. Farmer organizes these fragments under two rubrics. First, he discusses...

The Exaltation of Inanna: A Play in One Act
ISBN: 9781539474036 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This play is set in a tavern in ancient Ur, near in time and place to the beginning of recorded history. The action of the play borders on the experimental, as it concerns the elevation in rank of a lowly slave to the highest levels of society in the confines of a single room. The mythology and imagery of the play reflect what we know of ancient Sumerian mythology, craftsmanship, and costume. The dialogue is enhanced by the rhythmic meter of the words, which includes the exploration of the caesura as a dramatic device. Because there is nudity in the play, it is certainly not for everyone....
