Synopsis

Lamia is a narrative poem written by the English poet John Keats, which first appeared in the volume Lamia, Isabella, the Eve of St Agnes and Other Poems, published in July 1820.
The poem tells how the god Hermes hears of a nymph who is more beautiful than all. Hermes, searching for the nymph, instead comes across Lamia, trapped in the form of a serpent.

John Keats was an English Romantic poet who lived from 1795 to 1821. He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential poets in the Romantic literary movement. Keats is known for his lyric poetry, which is characterized by its sensual and vivid imagery, rich language, and exploration of themes such as beauty, nature, love, and the transience of life.

Tragically, John Keats' life was cut short at the age of 25 due to tuberculosis. Despite his relatively short life and limited output, his work has had a lasting impact on English literature and continues to be studied and admired for its poetic excellence and exploration of profound human experiences.

    Three plays from the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award–winning author of Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo.  The Woods is a modern dramatic parable about, as Mamet put it, “why men and women have a hard time trying to get along with each other.” The story features a young man and woman spending a night in his family’s cabin where they experience passion, then disillusionment, but are in the end reconciled by mutual need.   In Lakeboat, an Ivy League college student takes a summer job as a cook aboard a Great Lakes cargo ship where the crewmembers—men of all ages—share their wild fantasies about sex, gambling, and violence. Mamet also wrote the screenplay to the 2000 film starring Peter Falk and Denis Leary.   In Edmond, a white-collar New York City man is set morally adrift after a visit to a fortune-teller. He soon leaves an unfulfilling marriage to find sex, adventure, companionship, and, ultimately, the meaning of his existence. Mamet also wrote the screenplay for the 2005 film starring William H. Macy.   “[A] beautifully conceived love story.” —Chicago Daily News on The Woods   “[Mamet’s] language has never been so precise, pure, and affecting.” —Richard Eder of The New York Times on The Woods   “Richly overheard talk and loopy, funny construction.” —Michael Feingold in The Village Voice on Lakeboat   “A riveting theatrical experience that illuminates the heart of darkness.” —Jack Kroll of Newsweek on Edmond
