Terrible Experiment of Jonathan Fish, The
Synopsis:
Set in a mythical country called America, shortly after Darwin, Edward takes his revenge on the dead wife who didn't love him by raising their daughter to believe that there are three sexes, men, women, and girls, until he is killed by the ghost of his wife, and Amelia discovers the world is not as she believed. the stage manager of this powerful voice-of-the-oppressed feminist tragedy has fired the orchestra, the chorus, used the money to hire starlet Candace Lord, and rewritten the play into a light romantic comedy, with himself and Candace playing scenes together cooked up by his lust - love - until the Author arrives, and tries to put everything back on track. Most of the cast ends up dead, but continues singing. . .

An actor in Nazi-Occupied France, Guy de Bonheur, is put on a train for Buchenwald.

He tries to convince them that he is not a subversive, he only does little plays from the Arabian Nights, with his Company at the Cafe Shaherazad. He does the plays to demonstrate, playing all the parts himself, hoping in return not to be put on the train, he plays first for his life, and then for his soul.
