Beschreibung

The Story of Flamenca is a captivating narrative that unfolds within the rich tapestry of medieval romance literature. This anonymous work, believed to be penned in the late 13th century, intertwines themes of love, honor, and deception against a backdrop of courtly intrigue. Utilizing a blend of lyrical prose and vivid imagery, the narrative immerses readers in the complexities of its characters' emotions and societal expectations, ultimately exploring the tension between personal desire and social duty. The anonymity of the author adds an intriguing layer to the story as it invites speculation regarding the cultural and historical environments that shaped its creation. Emerging during a time when chivalric ideals were paramount, the writer likely drew inspiration from a multitude of sources, including oral traditions and contemporary tales of romance. The author's intention to address the nuances of love and fidelity against the societal norms of the time offers valuable insight into the evolving nature of relationships in medieval Europe. For readers seeking an exploration of love and morality wrapped in a historical context, The Story of Flamenca is essential. Its timeless themes resonate with contemporary dilemmas, making it a poignant read for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, culture, and human experience.

Frantic Assembly's electrifying take on Shakespeare's tragedy of paranoia, sex and murder, firmly rooted in a volatile twenty-first century.

As relevant today as it ever was, Othello exposes the tension, fear and paranoia buried beneath the veneer of our relationships and how easily that can be maliciously exploited.
Frantic Assembly's touring production was first performed in 2008, with revivals in 2014 and 2022. This edition of Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett's muscular, radically adapted text also features articles and interviews about the production and Frantic Assembly's revolutionary work.

In the shadowy chambers of a Wall Street law office, a quiet copyist named Bartleby enters the scene—and refuses to leave. Hired for his precision and calm demeanor, Bartleby soon begins replying to every request with the haunting refrain: "I would prefer not to." 
As his passive resistance deepens into total withdrawal, the lawyer who employs him becomes increasingly baffled, then obsessed. Melville’s classic novella is both darkly comic and deeply unsettling—a prescient meditation on alienation, mental health, and the silent revolt against the machinery of modern life.
