Happily married, backed by a powerful mentor, and with career prospects that would take him abroad, Serguey has more than any young Cuban lawyer could ask for. But when his estranged brother Victor appears with news that their father--famed theater director Felipe Blanco--has been detained for what he suspects are political reasons, Serguey's privileged life is suddenly shaken. A return to his childhood home in Havana's decaying suburbs--a place filled with art, politics, and the remnants of a dissolving family--reconnects Serguey with his troubled past. He learns of an elusive dramaturge's link to Felipe, a man who could be key to his father's release. With the help of a social media activist and his wife's ties with the Catholic Church, Serguey sets out to unlock the mystery of Felipe's arrest and, in the process, is forced to confront the reasons for the hostility between him and Victor: two violent childhood episodes that scarred them in unforgettable ways. On the verge of imprisonment, Serguey realizes he must make a decision regarding not just his father, but his family and his own future, a decision which, under the harsh shadow of a communist state, he cannot afford to regret.

These three timeless plays showcase the sparkling wit and provocative intellect of some of modern drama’s greatest playwrights. Saint Joan by George Bernard Shaw: This complex drama depicts the life of Joan of Arc—from her childhood vision calling her to lead the French army against the English in the Hundred Years War through her eventual capture, trial, and burning at the stake. An epilogue depicts a retrial that clears Joan of heresy, declaring her a Christian martyr. An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde: In this timeless drawing room comedy, a blackmail scheme forces a married couple to reexamine their moral standards—providing a wry commentary on the hypocrisy of politicians. Carried along by nonstop witty repartee, this is satirical theater at its finest. A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen: This quintessential work of dramatic realism depicts one woman’s struggle against patriarchal society. The central character’s rejection of a smothering marriage shocked theatergoers of the late nineteenth century while the play’s pioneering style set the stage for twentieth century domestic drama.

This country doesn't need a constitution, never has, never will. We have History as our guide. In tough times, the British do what we have always done. We muddle through. This House is a timely and relevant political comedy, exploring Westminster and the 1974 hung parliament. In the run-up to the General Election pressure mounts as squabbling whips attempt to attract key regional votes. As it becomes clear the results will be closely balanced, the play tracks the formation, perils and consequences of a coalition government, including the compromises, conflicts and power games all in the interest of gaining control of Parliament. With well-paced, witty and waspish dialogue, This House playfully explores the childish digs and chauvinistic attitudes that riddle political life. Award-winning playwright James Graham combines comedy with comment in this portrayal of the strain between the thinking individual, the pressure to toe the part line and the end goal of winning government.

AuthorHenrik Johan Ibsen (1828 - 1906) was a great playwright, theater director and Norwegian poet of the 19th century. He is often nicknamed "the father of realism" and is one of the founders of modernism in the theater.He is the second most frequently played playwright in the world after Shakespeare, and in the early 20th century, A Doll's House became the most played play in the world.Many of his later dramas were considered scandalous to many of his time, when the European theater was to model the strict morality of family life and propriety. Ibsen's subsequent work examined the realities behind many facades, revealing many things that were troubling to many contemporaries. He used a critical eye and a free inquiry into living conditions and issues of morality.Ibsen is often considered one of the most distinguished playwrights of the European tradition. Richard Hornby describes him as "a deep poetic playwright.Ibsen was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1902, 1903 and 1904.Ibsen wrote his plays in Danish (the common written language of Denmark and Norway). Although most of his plays take place in Norway - often in places reminiscent of Skien, the port city where he grew up - Ibsen lived 27 years in Italy and Germany, and rarely visited Norway during his most productive years . Born into a merchant family related to Skien's patriciate, Ibsen shaped his dramas based on his family background. He was the father of Prime Minister Sigurd Ibsen. Ibsen's dramas continue to influence contemporary culture and cinema.TranslatorWilliam Archer, born September 23, 1856 in Perth, Scotland, died December 27, 1924, in London, England, British Scottish drama critic whose translations and essays have supported Henrik Ibsen to the British public.While studying law in Edinburgh, Archer began his journalistic career in the Edinburgh Evening News.After a world tour (1876-1877), he moved to London in 1878 and became in 1879 drama critic on the London Figaro.In 1884 he joined the world; his reviews for him and other periodicals were collected in The Theatrical World from 1893-1897. He was later a dramatic critic on the Nation, the Tribune and the Manchester Guardian. He advocated a more intellectual drama and greater theatrical subtlety than the British public was accustomed to.The translations include A Doll's House (1889),NovelA Doll's House is a play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, founded in 1879. It is inscribed on the UNESCO International Memory of the World Register. Henrik Ibsen, a great Norwegian playwright of the late nineteenth century who introduced on the European scene a new order of moral analysis placed in a very realistic middle class context ...The piece is important for the way she deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for personal fulfillment in a male dominated world. It sparked a great sensation at the time, and provoked a "storm of indignant controversy" that surpassed the theater for the world's newspapers and society.At Christmas, when Nora Helmer enters her house with many packages. Nora's husband, Torvald, works in his office when she arrives. He mischievously reprimands him for spending so much money on Christmas presents, calling him his "little squirrel". He teases her about how the past year she had spent weeks making gifts and ornaments by hand because money was scarce. This year, Torvald is promoting at the bank where he works, so Nora thinks they can let go a little. The chambermaid announces two visitors: Mrs. Kristine Linde, an old friend of Nora, who comes looking for a job; and Dr. Rank, a close friend of the family, who is left in the study. Kristine has had some difficult years since the death of her husband, leaving her without money or children. Nora says things were not easy for them: Torvald fell ill and they had to go to Italy to recover. Kristine explains that when her mother was sick.

“Smart, funny and utterly engrossing…This unexpectedly rich sequel reminds us that houses tremble and sometimes fall when doors slam, and that there are living people within, who may be wounded or lost…Mr. Hnath has a deft hand for combining incongruous elements to illuminating ends.” —Ben Brantley, New York Times It has been fifteen years since Nora Helmer slammed the door on her stifling domestic life, when a knock comes at that same door. It is Nora, and she has returned with an urgent request. What will her sudden return mean to those she left behind? Lucas Hnath’s funny, probing, and bold play is both a continuation of Ibsen’s complex exploration of traditional gender roles, as well as a sharp contemporary take on the struggles inherent in all human relationships across time.

From an American playwright who “is in a class by himself,” two acclaimed plays linked by a character who comes of age in the sixties. (The New York Times) In John Guare’s classic play The House of Blue Leaves, winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for best play, the Pope is visiting New York, and eighteen-year-old Ronnie goes AWOL from the army to come home to New York and blow up the Pope as he passes his house. In his new play, Chaucer in Rome, it is the year 2000, and Ron and his wife come to Rome to search for their son. With his inimitable wit and understanding, Guare has written two scathingly funny satires on the warping hunger for fame, and the betrayal involved in creating art. Praise for The House of Blue Leaves: “Splendid . . . a joyful affirmation of life and of John Guare’s artistry.” —The New York Times “A woozy, fragile, hilarious heartbreaker . . . the writing is lush with sad, ironic wisdom about fame, love, and deluded values.” —USA Today Praise for Chaucer in Rome: “Guare makes us become voyeurs even as we scorn voyeurism—thus offering a titillating, troubling commentary on life.” —USA Today “Guare’s most disciplined, merciless yet lovable work since Six Degrees of Separation and maybe his best yet.” —New York Newsday

You may be the wealthiest colored woman in New Orleans, but you built this house on sand, lies and dead bodies. New Orleans, 1836. Following an era of French colonial rule and relative racial acceptance, Louisiana's 'free people of color' are prospering. Beatrice, a free woman of colour, has become one of the city's wealthiest women through her relationship with a rich white man. However, when her lover mysteriously dies, Beatrice imposes a six-month period of mourning on herself and her three daughters. But, as the summer heat intensifies, the foundations of freedom she has built for herself and their three unwed daughters begin to crumble. Society is changing, racial divides are growing and, as the members of the household turn on each other in their fight for survival, it could cost them everything. A bewitching new drama of desire, jealousy, murder and voodoo, The House That Will Not Stand received its world premiere at Berkeley Rep, US, in January 2014, and was subsequently produced at the Tricycle Theatre, London, on 9 October 2014. This edition features an introduction by Professor Ayanna Thompson, Columbian College of Arts and Sciences.
