Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Three gay actors find themselves on a stage. They have no idea how they got there or why they are there. They find a copy of THE THREE SISTERS - in Russian. One of them can read Russian so he begins to translate the play, and each of them starts to act out the part of one of the sisters. 'A brilliant musical . original and absurd . captures and magnifies the extraordinary yearning quality of Chekov's THREE SISTERS and puts its faith in the healing power of art . its heart is big enough to embrace everyone who lives with the dull ache of an unfulfilled life.' -The Guardian (London) 'Witty, tender, sophisticated . a wonderful, delicate fusion of music, theatre, songs and emotion . by turns warm, wise, funny and moving, but always compelling entertainment.' -The Scotsman 'Existentialism with a heart that melds intellectualism and sweetness into one richly diverting oddity . a timely tribute to the redemptive powers of art, a reminder that even the most apparently hopeless lives can be transformed through the unifying fellowship of the theater.' -The Los Angeles Times 'Three gay men who get trapped in a theater with a copy of Chekhov's THREE SISTERS, offer in Nick Salamone and Maury R McIntyre's musical adaptation, a wonderful new reading of the play. This version crystallizes the despair and fragile hopes of the sisters who are, as ever, stuck in the country endlessly yearning for Moscow; and the men's stories bring fresh perspectives to the universality of the sisters' emotions without ever becoming trite parallels . funny, sensual and poignant.' -The New Yorker.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This collection includes two short plays: A TIME TO DIE and A TIME TO LIVE. A TIME TO DIE might be regarded as a Sophocles Variation, inspired as it is by the ANTIGONE of Sophocles, and A TIME TO LIVE as a Euripides Variation being inspired by the ANDROMACHE of Euripides. This edition brings both into the twenty-first century. 'Both [plays] are fascinating.' -Kevin Kelly 'I experienced a powerful grip of terror and pity . A TIME TO DIE carries its message for today with enormous poetry.' -Lee Baxandall 'They are so witty and so young.' -George Tabori 'A rejuvenating experience.' -Joseph Chaikin 'Nothing that I know of in recent theatre touches quite the moral depth of these plays.' -Tom F. Driver 'Steeped in human passions on many levels, A TIME TO LIVE is a challenging play, an evocative play, and finally, a noble play.' -Stanley Richards.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A loving homage to Eugène Labiche and the High Vaudeville style he was instrumental in establishing a century and a half ago. 'Breathless fun! A highly accomplished effort, a smart comic machine that hurdles its characters from one amusingly improbable scenario to another . HAT simultaneously detonates a dozen tiny plot points like some stage supercollider.' -Los Angeles Times 'A witty, footloose crowd-pleaser! Dennis McCarthy's appealing new music is redolent of the hurdy-gurdy and D'Oyly Carte. Strand's lyrics exude period feel and extend the comical biz. His ITALIAN STRAW HAT boasts what many others have lacked, an eminently playable text with polished but never stuffy dialogue.' -Variety 'Exhilarating . Stylish and inspired . Lightning-paced entertainment that looks and sounds sensational and keeps us rolling with laughter in the aisles . This riotous romp is a show for all seasons.' -Backstage.…
