Doctor Johnson: A Play

The life of Doctor Johnson, told in his own words and (mostly) those of others around him. "Anyone with a teaspoonful of imagination can read this play with pleasure; with two teaspoonsful, I will not be responsible for results. He, or she, may be disappointed, for there is no plot to speak of. But there is talk - about as good talk as has ever been reported, and James Boswell as a reporter has never had an equal.

Eunuchus: The Eunuch

Another of the plays by Terence translated from the Latin by Riley. "A certain citizen of Athens had a daughter named Pamphila, and a son called Chremes. The former was stolen while an infant, and sold to a Rhodian merchant, who having made a present of her to a Courtesan of Rhodes, she brought her up with her own daughter Thais, who was somewhat older." (From Translator summary) Hmmm, so kidnapping and slavery to start off; then there will be eunuchs and rape before the play ends. And it is a comedy?! Ah, well, it was 200BC.

Lucian's Dialogues Volume 4: Zeus the Tragedian

Zeus, gloomy and in tragic distress, is implored by Hermes and Athena to divulge the cause of his melancholy condition; while Hera, true to her Homeric character, confidently attributes it to another earthly amour. The king of gods and men, thus adjured, announced the true reason of his anxiety--daring assaults upon the character of himself and the rest of the Olympian divinities, and, in fact, denial of their very existence by the skeptics. What would be the best course to pursue?

Monsieur De Pourceaugnac

'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac', acted on October 6, 1669, is nothing but a farce. But Molière excels in farce as well as in higher comedy, and 'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac' is one of the best of its kind. The attacks upon the doctors of the time are not exaggerated. Molière acted the part of Mr. de Pourceaugnac. - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Monsieur De Pourceaugnac: Tomas Peter Oronte, father to Julia: alanmapstone Éraste, lover to Julia: Leanne Yau Sbrigani, a Neapolitan adventurer: Larry Wilson First Physician: ToddHW Second Physician: Eva Davis An Apothecary: Frédéric Surget Countryman - A Peasant: Campbell Schelp Countrywoman - A Female Peasant: Foon First Swiss: Nemo Second Swiss: Foon A Police Officer: Campbell Schelp Julia, daughter to Oronte: Elsie Selwyn Nérine, an intriguing woman, supposed to come from Picardy: Sonia Lucette, supposed to come from Gascony: Eva Davis Lady Singer: Devorah Allen First Man Singer: Nemo Second Man Singer: MajorToast 1st Lawyer: Campbell Schelp 2nd Lawyer: MajorToast Child 1: Devorah Allen Child 2: MajorToast Stage Directions: Sandra Schmit Edited By: ToddHW

Amphitryon

"The history of Amphitryon and Alcmene, or rather the myth of the birth of Hercules, is certainly very old, and is to be found in the literature of different nations."

The Wonder-Working Magician

"The Wonderful Magician" is perhaps better known to poetical students in England from the spirited fragment Shelley has left us in his "Scenes from Calderon." The preoccupation of a subject by a great master throws immense difficulties in the way of any one who ventures to follow in the same path: but as Shelley allowed himself great licence in his versification, and either from carelessness or an imperfect knowledge of Spanish is occasionally unfaithful to the meaning of his author, it may be hoped in my own version that strict fidelity both as to the form as well as substance of the original may be some compensation for the absence of those higher poetical harmonies to which many of my readers will have been accustomed. - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Cyprian: Adrian Stephens The Demon: ToddHW Lelius, The Governor of Antioch's Son: KHand Florus, friend of Lelius: Adam Bielka Moscon, Servant of Cyprian: alanmapstone Clarin, Servant of Cyprian: Tomas Peter The Governor of Antioch: Algy Pug Fabius, his Servant: Timothy Ferguson Lysander, the reputed Father of Justina: Larry Wilson Justina: Jeanne Viray Livia, her Maid: TJ Burns A Servant: Craig Franklin A Soldier, Chorus, People, Voice Within: Kimberly Krause Voice: Nemo Chorus of Voices: alanmapstone A Phantom Figure of Justina: Eva Davis The Skeleton: Leanne Yau Stage Directions: Sonia Editing: ToddHW

The Big Drum

Another Pinero play. Biting satire this time, ironic comedy - not a farce. The Big Drum, a novel being written by Phil, one of the main characters, is "an attempt to portray the struggle for notoriety—for self-advertisement—we see going on around us to-day." "Oh, I believe any world would content me that's totally different from the world I've lived in so long; any world that isn't flat and stale and stifling; that isn't made up of shams, and petty aims and appetites; any world that—well, such a world as you used to picture, Phil, when you preached your gospel to a selfish, common girl under the chestnuts in the Allée de Longchamp and the Champs-Elysées! ... I've been waiting—waiting for you—in my dreams—for ten years! " - Summary by ToddHW NOTE: There is an Author's Preface. Because it contains spoilers, it has been put at the end of the Act 4 file.

Don Garcia of Navarre, or the Jealous Prince

Nothing can be more unlike The Pretentious Young Ladies or Sganarelle than Molière's Don Garcia of Navarre. The Théâtre du Palais-Royal had opened on the 20th January, 1661, with The Love-Tiff and Sganarelle, but as the young wife of Louis XIV., Maria Theresa, daughter of Philip IV., King of Spain, had only lately arrived, and as a taste for the Spanish drama appeared to spring up anew in France, Molière thought perhaps that a heroic comedy in that style might meet with some success, the more so as a company of Spanish actors had been performing in Paris the plays of Lope de Vega and Calderon, since the 24th of July, 1660. Therefore, he brought out, on the 4th of February, 1661, his new play of Don Garcia of Navarre. Molière wished to create a counterpart of Sganarelle, the type of ridiculous jealousy, and to delineate passionate jealousy, its doubts, fears, perplexities and anxieties, and in this he has succeeded admirably. - Summary by Translator Henri Van Laun Cast list: DON GARCIA, Prince of Navarre, in love with Elvira: Kurt DON ALPHONSO, Prince of Leon, thought to be Prince of Castile, under the name of Don Silvio: Adrian Stephens DON ALVAREZ, confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: Tomas Peter DON LOPEZ, another confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: alanmapstone DON PEDRO, gentleman usher to Inez: Larry Wilson DONNA ELVIRA, Princess of Leon: Rapunzelina DONNA INEZ, a Countess, in love with Don Silvio, beloved by Mauregat, the usurper of the Kingdom of Leon: Sonia ELIZA, confidant to Elvira: TJ Burns Stage Directions and Editing: ToddHW

The Conscious Lovers

As early as 1720 Steele spoke in the Theatre of "a friend of mine" who was lately preparing a comedy according to the just laws of the stage, and had introduced a scene in which the first character bore unprovoked wrong, denied a duel, and still appeared a man of honour and courage. This was clearly an allusion to the play eventually to be published as The Conscious Lovers. - Summary by G. A. Aitken.

Princess of Elis

In the month of May 1664, Louis XIV entertained the Queen-mother, Anne of Austria, and his own wife , Maria Theresa, with a brilliant and sumptuous fete at Versailles.... The second day was distinguished by the representation of The Pricess of Elis [by Moliere].... The Princess of Elis, a comedy-ballet, was intended to represent the struggle between the affections of the male and female sex, a struggle in which victory often remains with the one who seems the furthest from obtaining it....

Andromache

In this tragedy [about part of the aftermath of the Trojan War], which made its appearance in 1667, there is a more intricate plot than is usual in Racine's plays, and it offers a greater variety of character and motive. Love, jealousy, friendship, conjugal fidelity, maternal tenderness, anger, and despair are all portrayed with skillful touches; and if the language is that of the French Court of the seventeenth century, the natural emotions of the human heart, the same in all ages, show themselves plainly under the mask of conventional mannerism - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Andromache, widow of Hector, Captive of Pyrrhus: Sonia Pyrrhus, Son of Achilles, King of Epirus: Matthew Reece Orestes, Son of Agamemnon: Richard Jaspering Hermione, Daughter of Helen, betrothed to Pyrrhus: Shreya Sethi Pylades, Friend of Orestes: Alan Mapstone Cleone, Friend of Hermione: Jessica Hendra Cephissa, Friend of Andromache: Hanna Ponomarenko Phoenix, Tutor of Achilles, and afterwards of Pyrrhus: ToddHW Stage Directions: David Purdy Editing: ToddHW
