Download or read book The Revolutionists written by Lauren Gunderson and published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It's a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold.

Book excerpt: Dramatists Play Service is proud to present six new short plays by John Patrick Shanley: In FRENCH WAITRESS, Ricky and his girlfriend Pamela sit down to an unsettling meal, served to them by a beautiful but unnerving French waitress. AN OLD STORY is a tale of the subtle distinctions between pain and pleasure, fear and exhilaration, necessity and desire. JEALOUS pits one couple’s love against otherworldy forces. In POLAND, a beautiful woman and a rich man are each looking for something or someone to rescue them from their lives. Can they find a safer ground together? LAST NIGHT IN THE GARDEN I SAW YOU follows one man’s journey over the fence into the house of a woman he abandoned. Now that he’s returned, will she leave the life she’s built since his absence? And if she won’t, will he truly let her live her life without him in peace? In Mt. Juliet, TENNESSEE, a lonely woman with the power of foresight is approached by a young man wanting to know his future. Knowing one’s future, however, comes with the responsibility of accepting it or changing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Dramatists of the 19th Century It is not yet sixty years since the Romanticists and the Classicists first met in battle-array; and it is but little more than fifty years since Hernani sounded his trumpet, and the hollow walls of Classicism fell with a final crash. This half-century is a period of no slight importance in the history of the drama: it is one of the two epochs when the plays of France have been conspicuously and incomparably superior to the plays of any other country; the earlier epoch was when the French stage saw in rapid succession the newest works of Corneille, of Molière, and of Racine. Although, with our ownership of Shakspere constantly in mind, we may not be willing to allow that the French have reached the highest pinnacle of the drama, we can see clearly enough that it is in the drama that they have mounted highest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteen articles in this volume highlight the richness, diversity, and experimental nature of French and Francophone drama before the advent of what would become known as neoclassical French theater of the seventeenth century. In essays ranging from conventional stage plays (tragedies, comedies, pastoral, and mystery plays) to court ballets, royal entrances, and meta- and para-theatrical writings of the period from 1485 to 1640, French Renaissance and Baroque Drama: Text, Performance, Theory seeks to deepen and problematize our knowledge of texts, co-texts, and performances of drama from literary-historical, artistic, political, social, and religious perspectives. Moreover, many of the articles engage with contemporary theory and other disciplines to study this drama, including but not limited to psychoanalysis, gender studies, anthropology, and performance theory. The diversity of the essays in their methodologies and objects of study, none of which is privileged over any other, bespeaks the various types of drama and the numerous ways we can study them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...the first-fruits of this new philosophy, the preacher fortunately has not yet overmastered the playwright. The piece is a marvel of polemic literature, a model in the art of teaching by example. Mr. John Morley instances it as one of the very few modern plays which Diderot would recognize as belonging to the genre strieux, which began with his own ' Pere de Famille.' It treats an important subject honestly and with intellectual seriousness: there is none of the petty begging of the question which disfigures two other works on the same subject, --the 'Fernande' of M. Victorien Sardou, and the ' New Magdalen' of Mr. Wilkie Collins; both clever men, lacking, however, in the courage and the candor needed to face the problem fairly. There is a fourth work of fiction, published not long after M. Dumas's, which approaches the subject with the same appreciation of its demands and its difficulties. This is a novel, ' Hedged In, ' by Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, as representatively New England as the ' Idees de Madame Aubray' is French. It is of course a mere paradox to say that M. Dumas, since his regeneration, appears to me as a typical New-Englander; but he has something of the New-England spirit, and he stands at times in the New-England attitude. He recalls, in a way, both Nathaniel Hawthorne and Oliver Wendell Holmes. His theology is in essence Unitarian. I have before made mention of his very New-England knack of biblical quotation; and, as his recent volume on divorce shows, he is as prone to search the Scriptures for a text wherewith to smite his adversary, as any of those chips of Plymouth Rock who "take to the ministry mostly." Without pushing the analogy too far, we can see it stand out plainly when we set the ' Idees de Madame Aubray'...
