De Wet Plays One Book Description

by Reza de Wet, De Wet Plays One Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download De Wet Plays One books, The three plays Missing, Crossing and Miracle are folkloric and ostensibly native pieces of Afrikaner storytelling. All plays deal with the liberation of a character from an oppressive, matriarchal order and as such are eloquent and haunting expressions of the current generation of Afrikaner seeking to free itself from the Calvinist manacles of traditional Afrikanerdom.

Lonsdale Plays One Book Description

by Frederick Lonsdale, Lonsdale Plays One Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Lonsdale Plays One books, Lonsdale's first successful comedy, and the one that helped establish him as a dramatist was Aren't We All? (1923). It set the tone and subject matter for many plays to come; epigrammatic wit, irony and neatly constructed near-farcical situations, dealing with polite manners and modern marriage (in this case, adultery). The Last of Mrs Cheyney (1926), in which the mistress of a gang of burglar-servants gives up her criminal career to marry into aristocracy, is probably the best known of Lonsdale's 15 plays. In On Approval (1926), an insufferable wealthy middle-aged widow invites a man up to her remote house in Scotland 'on approval' - to see if a marital match is possible. But the man is not alone and, snowed in, they are forced to confront the undesirability of the match. Canaries Sometimes Sing (1929) has an easygoing playwright, bored with his silly, socially ambitious wife, falling in love with the wife of a visiting friend. The abrupt ending completes an uncompromising attack on British hypocrisy.

Schimmelpfennig Plays One Book Description

by Roland Schimmelpfennig, Schimmelpfennig Plays One Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Schimmelpfennig Plays One books, Roland Schimmelpfennig is the most performed contemporary German playwright. This collection demonstrates the breadth and formal innovation of his writing. The Animal Kingdom depicts the unremitting battle for human survival in a merciless environment: the theatre. Peggy Pickit Sees the Face of God has been likened to a post-colonial Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Here two doctors who have returned from Africa reveal the true cost of their failure to combat a terrible and frightening disease. Idomeneus is a narrative play written for a large chorus which re-tells the classical Idomeneus myth in contemporary terms; a fractured, mythic tidal wave, brought to life with astounding theatricality by an ensemble of storytellers. A small narrative piece, The Four Points of the Compass is an urban fable of crossed destinies and uncanny coincidences and a compelling contemporary tale of lust for life and the fragility of existence.
