Handling Bach

Synopsis:
On a fictional visit to Germany, Handel invites Johann Sebastian Bach to a slap-up meal at the inn where he is staying - the two never in fact met, despite Bach's efforts. envy on Bach's part of Handel's worldly success and on Handel's part of Bach's perceived greater genius gradually surfaces, though the two manage in the end to reach an uneasy accommodation.

Prince Of Homburg, The

Prince Of Homburg, The
Tell me, please - is this a dream?'the night before he leads his troops into battle, the prince of Homburg strips off his uniform and goes sleepwalking. Moonstruck, his mind races with a young man's fantasies - love, ambition and victory. But when the morning comes, a single reckless act of disobediance sets in motion a chain of events that leads inexorable to the one thing he never dreamt would happen; his own death.

Ruy Blas

Ruy Blas
Set in 17th century Spain, Victor Hugo's 'Ruy Blas' is named after its low-born hero, forced to masquerade as an aristocrat as part of his master's revenge against the Queen. Noble in heart, Ruy Blas soon proves a champion to the poor and all but wins what he most wants in the world: the Queen herself.
