  It is said that Queen Elizabeth gave Shakespeare two weeks to write this play that showcases her favorite comedic character, Sir John Falstaff.  
  The dissolute Falstaff plans to seduce Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, two "Merry Wives of Windsor," thereby gaining access to their husbands' wealth. The two women have the old rogue's measure, however, and Falstaff's plots lead only to his own humiliation. But the merry wives themselves fall prey to plotting as their plans to prevent Mistress Page's daughter Anne from marrying the young man she loves are frustrated in their turn. 
  Dinsdale Landen is Falstaff. Sylvestra Le Touzel plays Mistress Ford and Penny Downie is Mistress Page. Nicholas Woodeson is Ford, Phillip Jackson is Page, and Clive Swift plays Justice Shallow.

  Biagio Martini is a successful lawyer. But he fears thunderstorms, and the memory of what happened in the old house by the river, when he was a child, corrodes his soul. Agata Rubino, on the other hand, is a fearless and courageous woman. She fears nothing as she hunts down the one who destroyed her life. Biagio and Agata do not know each other, they have never met; they do not know that their destinies are about to intertwine in an inexorable way.

  Dante Alighieri’s Inferno is the first part of The Divine Comedy, a poetic journey through Hell. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante travels through nine concentric circles of torment, each punishing souls according to the gravity of their sins—from lust and gluttony to treachery and betrayal. As he descends deeper into the frozen core where Satan resides, Dante confronts the consequences of moral corruption and divine justice. A profound allegory of spiritual crisis and redemption, Inferno blends vivid imagery, classical philosophy, and Christian theology to explore human sin, repentance, and the soul’s path toward God.

  John Davidson was born at Barrhead, East Renfrewshire on 11th April 1857.  
  In 1862 his family moved to Greenock and there he began his education at Highlanders' Academy.  Davidson would now spend many years at school and the beginnings of a career in various industries before gaining employment in various schools. 
  By now literature was a large part of his activities and his first published work was ‘Bruce, A Chronicle Play’ in 1886. Four other plays quickly followed including the somewhat brilliant pantomimic ‘Scaramouch in Naxos’ (1889). 
  With his reputation gradually providing an income he was also able to explore his true medium; Verse.  ‘In a Music Hall and Other Poems’ (1891) together with ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (1893) were ample proof that he possessed a quite rare, genuine and distinctive poetic gift.   
  Davidson now turned further and further towards verse. In 1894 he published his most popular volume, ‘Ballads and Songs’ (1894), and this was followed by a further ‘Fleet Street Eclogues’ (Second Series) (1896) and by ‘New Ballads’ (1897) and ‘The Last Ballad’ (1899). 
  As the new century dawned Davidson was hard at work on a series of ‘Testaments’, in which he gave definite expression to his philosophy and were published over a seven year period; ‘The Testament of a Vivisector’ (1901), ‘The Testament of a Man Forbid’ (1901), ‘The Testament of an Empire Builder’ (1902), and ‘The Testament of John Davidson’ (1908).  
  However, on 23rd March 1909, with his finances in ruins, the onset of cancer and profound hopelessness and clinical depression he left his house for the last time.  His body was only found on September 18th by some local fishermen.
