A Doll's House

EBook Description: Extremely influential work, a challenge to Victorian values and the beginning of realist drama.

A Family Man by John Galsworthy.

A King, and No King

A King and No King helped establish tragicomedy as the seventeenth century's favored dramatic genre, and Beaumont and Fletcher as leading playwrights of the day.

All For Love

It is Dryden�s best-known and most performed play. It is a tragedy written in blank verse and is an attempt on Dryden's part to reinvigorate serious drama. It is an acknowledged imitation of Shakespeare�s Antony and Cleopatra, and focuses on the last hours of the lives of its hero and heroine.

Amphitryon

Wilbur is at the peak of his form in this stellar translation of an unusual Moli�re play-populated with Greeks and Greco-Roman gods and flavored with the essences of vaudeville, fan-tasy, high comedy, farce, and even opera. Afterward by Richard Wilbur.

An Enemy of the People

It is concerned with the irrational tendencies of the masses, and the hypocritical and corrupt nature of the political system that they support

An Ideal Husband

Androcles and the Lion

A retelling of the consequences following the meeting of Androcles, the slave, and a wounded lion.

Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empress

ANNAJANSKA is frankly a bravura piece. The modern variety theatre demands for its "turns" little plays called sketches, to last twenty minutes or so, and to enable some favorite performer to make a brief but dazzling appearance on some barely passable dramatic pretext.

Antigone

Echoing through Western culture for more than two millenniums, "Antigone" has been a touchstone of thinking about human conflict and human tragedy, the role of the Divine in human life, and the degree to which men and women are the creators of their destiny. This 1912 translation of the Play remains contextually accurate with its original Greek version.

Arms and the Man
