Edited, Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The Textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, but also
the most fascinatingly problematical tragedy in world literature.
First performed around 1600, this a gripping and exuberant drama of
revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts. Its violence alternates
with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety
with spectacle. The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a
complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on
death, morality and the very status of human beings make him 'the
first modern man'. Countless stage productions and numerous
adaptations for the cinema and television have demonstrated the
continuing cultural relevance of this vivid, enigmatic, profound
and engrossing drama.
Victor-Marie Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet, playwright,
novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights activist
and exponent of the Romantic movement in France. His best-known
works are the novels Les Miserables and The Hunchback of
Notre-Dame, though in France, Hugo's literary fame comes first from
his poetry. This volume contains three dramas: The Burgraves,
Torquemada, and Lucretia Borgia.
Jill Hyem, original writer of TV series HOWARD'S WAY, WISH ME LUCK,
THE HOUSE OF ELLIOT and co-writer of the well-remembered TENKO, who
returns to her theatre roots with this magical story set in the
world's most romantic city. Three women of a certain age gravitate
to Paris. There's Nancy, a retired headmistress determined to throw
off her shackles. Anna, recently widowed - and free - after years
of nursing a sick husband. And Raquel, a divorcee in search of
eternal youth and a new toy boy. A feel-good play with laughter and
tears, the promise of romance, lovely love and not-so-lovely anger,
friendship and loyalty, and the advantages of growing old. Perhaps
not La Vie en Rose but certainly a night to leave you charmed,
amused, thoughtful - and smiling.
America in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a
conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers grapple with life
and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. Originally premiered in
Britain at the National Theatre, London, where it won the Evening
Standard Best Play Award, Tony Kushner's Angels in America went on
to win two Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. This
volume contains both Part One: Millennium Approaches and Part Two:
Perestroika, plus 45 pages of bonus material including a new
introduction by the playwright, a full production history, deleted
scenes, and notes on staging. It was published alongside a new
production in 2017 at the National Theatre, London, directed by
Marianne Elliott and starring Andrew Garfield, Denise Gough, Nathan
Lane, James McArdle and Russell Tovey.
