Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean Racine | |||||
Synopsis: | Drawn from the immortal Greek drama by Euripides, Racine's play focuses on the unhappy fate of Andromache and the murderous passions that churn around her. Beloved by her captor, Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, Andromache remains true to the memory of her slain husband, Hector. When the Greeks demand that she give her son over to them Pyrrhus offers Andromache a cynical choice: Marry him, or her son will be killed. In desperation, Andromache decides to wed Pyrrhus and then take her own lifewhich sets in motion a series of shocking events. The jealous Hermione, who is betrothed to Pyrrhus, persuades Orestes (who is enamored of her) to kill him, after which she commits suicide and the hapless Orestes loses his reason. Thus, in the end, all are betrayed by their frenzied emotions and drawn inexorably to a tragic fate which they, in their mortalfallibility, are powerless to avert. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean Racine | |||||
"Let glory be our solace in our grief, And let the world acknowledge to the full Tears of an emperor, tears of a queen". Berenice's long and patient wait is over. Her lover, Titus, is now Emperor of Rome and with his succession, she can become his queen. But the Roman people make their disapproval known and Titus must choose between love and responsibility. Antiochus, Titus' best friend, is sent to comfort her, but reveals his own unrequited love for Berenice. In Berenice, Racine created a perfect tragedy of unfulfilled passion. In his new version, Man Booker Prize winner Alan Hollinghurst anatomises the agony of love. | ||||||

Desire. Power. Ambition. Politics. Part political thriller, part family drama, Britannicus depicts twenty-four hours in the life of Emperor Nero that were to change the course of Roman history. Agrippina, widow of the Emperor Claudius, has paved the way for her son Nero to succeed to the throne ahead of his step-brother Britannicus. But as Nero's taste for power grows stronger, Agrippina struggles to keep control of her son as he edges Rome ever closer to catastrophe. A savage dissection of what happens when the personal and political worlds collide, | ||||||

Synopsis: | Based on a legend first dealt with by Euripides (in Greek) and Seneca (in Latin) the action of the play centers on the tragic fate of Phaedra, wife of Theseus, the King of Athens, who falls passionately in love with her stepson, Hippolytus. At first Phaedra attempts to deny her attraction for the handsome young Hippolytus, but when word arrives that Theseus has been slain, Phaedra declares her love, much to the shock and dismay of Hippolytus, who is deeply enamored of another. When Theseus then returns unharmed, Phaedra realizes the extent of her grievous error, and she makes no attempt to stop her loyal servant, Oenone, from falsely denouncing Hippolytus as a would-be seducer. Furious, Theseus sends his son into exilethereby setting in motion the inexorable series of events in which the lives of the characters spin wildly out of control and become subject to the will of the godswho exact their tragic and inevitable retribution. | |||||

Synopsis: | One of the most hilarious French plays ever written, Racine's only comedy (1688) tells of a judge named Nigaud who has lost his mind from overwork and yet is possessed with the desire to go to court and try cases day and night. His son, Leandre, abetted by Petit-Jean (the judge's porter) and Leclerc (the judge's clerk), does his best to confine him to his house and to deny access to litigious personssuch as Chicanneau and the Countess of Pimbeschewho wish to consult him regarding their current lawsuits. The mad judge, however, threatens constantly to escape, and the situation is resolved only when Leandre persuades his father to stay at home and be the presiding judge of his own householdbeginning with an uproarious trial of the family dog for filching a capon from the kitchen. That plot, which Racine adapted from Aristophanes' The Wasps, is interlaced with a love-intrigue out of the commedia dell'arte. Leandre loves his neighbor, Isabelle, who is imprisoned in the house of a father (Chicanneau) who reserves all his money for legal squabbles and will not give her a dowry. A good part of Act Two consists of an intricate hoax in which Leandre and Leclerc, disguised as a magistrate and bailiff, get the better of Chicanneau and make possible the happy ending of Act Three. At the close of the play, Judge Nigaud is looking forward to many more intramural trials, and Leandre is betrothed to the spirited and charming Isabelle. | |||||
