Sinopse

In "Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyll," John Greenleaf Whittier masterfully captures the intimacy of rural New England life through vivid imagery and reflective verse. This long poem chronicles a family'Äôs experience during a snowstorm, evoking nostalgia and a sense of belonging. Whittier'Äôs rich, descriptive language and his deep connection with nature intertwine to create a serene yet dynamic portrayal of winter, reflecting the broader Romantic movement that emphasizes emotion and the sublime beauty of the natural world. The work stands as a meditation on the simplicity and hardships of agrarian life, revealing the warmth of family ties amid the cold desolation of winter'Äôs grip. John Greenleaf Whittier, a prominent American Quaker poet and social reformer, drew inspiration from his own upbringing in rural Massachusetts, which profoundly influenced his thematic choices. His engagement in the abolitionist movement and advocacy for social justice is mirrored in his elevation of humble, everyday experiences, showcasing an unwavering commitment to truth and sincerity in his art. Whittier's acute sensitivity to rhythm and rural ethos provides a reflective lens on both personal and collective memory. "Snow-Bound" is an essential read for those who appreciate the intersection of nature, memory, and familial bonds within American literature. Readers will find in Whittier'Äôs verse a timeless representation of resilience and warmth in the face of nature'Äôs challenges, making it a powerful and evocative exploration of human experience that resonates long after the last page is turned.

    When the bad bleeds, then is the tragedy good. The Revenger's Tragedy is a bloody Jacobean drama centering on Vindici, whose beloved has been murdered by the Duke. Aided by his brother Hippolito, Vindici plans to take revenge not only on the Duke, but on his lecherous Duchess (who is having an affair with her stepson, Spurio) and his sons Lussurioso (Lust), Ambitioso (Ambition), and Supervacuo (Excess). The play was published anonymously in 1606 and for several centuries was attributed to Cyril Tourneur; more recent scholarship has pointed to Thomas Middleton as the likely author. The play was part of the vogue for revenge tragedy in late 16th and early 17th century England, and has often been compared to Hamlet.

    A collection of poetry selected and performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode. Rhapsodes of Ancient Greece were “song-stitchers,” performing selections from the epics of Homer and Hesiod. The contemporary rhapsode performs the classical poetry of his or her language, culture, and tradition. Any particular collection and arrangement of poems for performance I term a “rhapsody.” In general terms, a rhapsody is an ecstatic expression of feeling and enthusiasm. In music, a rhapsody is an instrumental composition irregular in form and suggestive of improvisation. The poems in this rhapsody comprise a number of poems that I have performed in public and known for much of my life as well as several recent additions to my repertory. They are arranged in chronological order from the 16th century to the early 20th century. Some of the poets represented here are Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Donne, John Milton, Alexander Pope, William Blake, William Wordsworth, John Keats, Alfred Tennyson, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, and Robert Frost.

    Camelot is in trouble. If King Arthur doesn't turn things around soon, his reign will be remembered as nothing more than a rather dull period in British history. Enter three hapless squires with a plan... and a legend is born.
    This hilarious retelling of the Arthurian legends brings to life King Arthur (obvs), the lovely Guinevere, the enigmatic Merlin, the Lady of the Lake and the Lady of Shalott, the evil Morgana and her troublesome son Mordred, and more Knights than you can fit round an oblong table.
    Following in the hoofsteps of Le Navet Bete's previous hit adaptations, Dracula: The Bloody Truth, The Three Musketeers and Treasure Island, all co-created with John Nicholson (The Hound of the Baskervilles), it toured the UK in 2023 and 2024.
    Originally performed by three actors playing several dozen characters, King Arthur offers rich opportunities for any theatre company, drama group or Round Table to create their own legendary production and a spectacular knight to remember.

    Cymbeline, the Roman Empire's vassal king of Britain, once had two sons, Guiderius and Arvirargus, but they were stolen twenty years earlier as infants by an exiled traitor named Belarius. Cymbeline now discovers that his only child left, his daughter Imogen, has secretly married her lover Posthumus Leonatus, an otherwise honourable man of Cymbeline's court. This edition of Cymbeline is an adaptation of Shakespeare's eponymous drama, narrated in plain modern English, capturing the very essence and key elements of the original Shakespeare's work. Read in English, unabridged.
