Download or read book All Our Tragic written by Sean Graney and published by Sordelet Ink. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “By whatever alchemy, it serves the greatest collection of stories ever written — adds to them, modernizes them, makes them feel fresh, forces you to see them both strange and familiar...There has not been anything quite like this ever before.” - THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE A contemporary Festival of Dionysus! This massive work by playwright Sean Graney undertakes a day-long play retelling of the thirty-two surviving Greek tragedies. PART IV: POETICS includes: HELEN AGAMEMNON THE LIBATION BEARERS ELEKTRA ORESTES THE FURIES ANDROMACHE IPHIGENIA IN TAURIS "All Our Tragic is a sprawling, messy, at-times-brilliant show, much like the lives of those it portrays and would hope to honor. It is a singular achievement, one not likely to be repeated any time soon." - GAPERS BLOCK, CHICAGO "We see the full range of relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, sisters and brothers, politicians and citizens, generals and soldiers. We see the horrors and insanity of war in all their extremity, the gruesome payback for sexual betrayals, the high price paid for loyalty, the futility of prophecy and the wages of guilt. We see people driven to acts of both devotion and madness. We feel the lust for power, the ache for home, and the inevitability of death." - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES "An ambitious production that exceeds expectation (as if it's possible to even know what to expect of a 12-hour performance!), All Our Tragic is simply unforgettable, on so many levels. It's not really a show or even a play, but an experience, a total immersion into the imaginations of Sean Graney and the Greeks. The end result is that the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides really do become ours: they are all our tragic." - STAGE AND CINEMA
Download or read book Her Majesty s Will written by David Blixt and published by Sordelet Ink. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An intricate tour de force that conjures a new vision of the Bard’s early days.” — Kirkus Reviews "Her Majesty's Will is a heady, silly romp that works!" — Chicago Tribune “Her Majesty’s Will has everything—swashbuckling sword fights, witty banter, a nefarious (and true!) plot, a dash of romance, narrow escapes, sudden reversals, and an incredibly plausible origin story for one of the greatest writers in history. It’s huge fun—a summer blockbuster action-adventure combined with dazzling outdoor Shakespeare, all in handy-dandy book form.” — Austin Tichenor, Pop-Up Shakespeare and William Shakespeare’s Long Lost First Play (abridged) In the ruffled collars and quill-wielding chaos of 1586 England, join the Bard himself, Will Shakespeare, as he stumbles headfirst into a side-splitting escapade that Shakespearean scholars conveniently forgot to mention! Swept up in the skirts of a mysterious stranger, Will unwittingly unveils the Babington Plot – a dastardly scheme to bump off Queen Elizabeth. Talk about a plot twist! With the mercurial Kit Marlowe by his side, our intrepid wordsmith takes his debut stroll through London's chaotic streets, dodging rebels, spies, government goons, his own shady past, and yes, even a bear! Through the absurdity of this Elizabethan romp, Will Shakespeare proves his loyalty and unleashes his genius, showcasing himself as the unsung hero – or should we say, "Her Majesty's Will." This cheeky comedy, a wild blend of William Goldman's quirkiness from The Princess Bride and the swashbuckling flair of Rafael Sabatini, channels the spirit of those old Hope/Crosby Road Movies. Revel in the certainty that these events are as fictional as a Puck-induced dream, yet secretly wish they were true. After all, who wouldn't want to imagine Shakespeare juggling treachery, wit, and a bear in the name of Her Majesty? Brush up your Shakespeare and prepare for a riotous ride through the Elizabethan era! "I loved Her Majesty's Will, a delightful romp through Elizabethan England. The fun is non-stop, an irresistible mix of suspense, surprises, and humor. I just hope we get to see this zany team again!" — Sharon Kay Penman, The Sunne In Splendour and Lionheart "I LOVE this book. I'm laughing and on the edge of my seat and turning e-pages so fast, I'm gonna fry my iPad." — C.W. Gortner, The Tudor Conspiracy and The Queen's Vow Praise from readers: ★★★★★ – "Anyone who enjoys the down-to-earth aspects of Shakespeare will love this book, the puns, bon mots, double entendres, and witticisms fly fast and furious throughout. His Majesty's Will is a book worth savoring more than once." ★★★★★ – "Her Majesty's Will is an Elizabethan buddy comedy/drama/romance/adventure. Like ya do. It's Hope and Crosby meets Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks. It belongs on the shelf alongside The Princess Bride." ★★★★★ – "David Blixt is on the top of his game with this romp. A rollicking good read."

Download or read book The Justice Of The Duke written by Rafael Sabatini and published by Sordelet Ink. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sabatini Finds Justice For Cesare Borgia! Cesare Borgia, former cardinal, Duke of Valentinois and Romanga, tyrant and warlord, has been a figure of awe and scorn for generations. The romance of Borgia’s tumultuous life has been the topic of romances, tragedies, operas, and films, television shows. Friend and patron to Leonardo da Vinci, his rise and fall inspired Machiavelli to write The Prince and Friedrich Nietzsche to write Beyond Good And Evil. Among those inspired by this prince of Italy was famed author Rafael Sabatini (Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk). In Borgia, Sabatini finds a real-life version of his fictional heroes—a brilliant man betrayed and wronged. Only this time, the man is not just wronged by his friends and foes. He is wronged by all of history. Compelled to explore this fascinating historical figure’s true nature, Sabatini wrote a biography and a play. But his best work is in his favourite writing style: historical fiction. With characteristic Sabatini flair, the master of the genre brings Borgia life as no one has before. Drawn to the passion, suspicion, betrayal, and ambition of Borgia’s brief but exciting life, Sabatini presents seven short stories set during the Italian Renaissance: The Honour Of Varano, The Test, Ferrante's Jest, Gisimondi's Wage, The Snare, The Lust Of Conquest, and The Pasquinade. These stories are collected in the volume Sabatini entitled The Justice Of The Duke.
