Synopsis

In "Monsieur De Pourceaugnac," Molière masterfully weaves a comedic tapestry that satirizes the follies of social pretension and the absurdities of love. This three-act farce, set in 17th-century France, employs rapid dialogue, mistaken identities, and clever wordplay to illustrate the tensions between the bourgeoisie and the nobility. The play encapsulates the essence of Molière's theatrical style, marked by its sharp wit and keen observations of human behavior, reflecting the societal dynamics of his time and the burgeoning middle class's ascent in the wake of the French Renaissance. Molière, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, was a playwright and actor whose own experiences in the theater and society profoundly shaped his works. His works often draw from his personal encounters with the upper classes and his disdain for their pretentiousness. "Monsieur De Pourceaugnac" showcases his exceptional ability to critique societal norms while entertaining audiences, a reflection of his lifelong quest to portray the absurdities of human vice. This delightful play is highly recommended for readers who appreciate sharp social commentary wrapped in humor. Molière's enduring wit and keen insights make "Monsieur De Pourceaugnac" not only a testament to the playful spirit of the age but also a timeless exploration of human folly, inviting readers to reflect on their own societal engagements.

    'You're not stupid for wanting things to change, Fanny – it's just that we have to play the music that gets handed to us.'
    Meet Fanny Mendelssohn. You'll probably know of her younger brother Felix, from nineteenth-century smash hits like 'The Wedding March'. He was such a huge star that Queen Victoria requested a private concert, during which she sang her favourite of his compositions, a song called 'Italien'.
    The only problem is, that particular piece was actually composed by Fanny, though it was published under her brother's name.
    When Fanny intercepts the letter inviting Felix to play for the queen, she decides to hide it away, don her brother's clothes, and take his place at the palace…
    Calum Finlay's play Fanny is a joyful and irreverent comedy celebrating music, family and – at last – the work of a composer overlooked because of her sex. It opened at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2024.

    "All the world’s a stage"—but are the men and women merely players, or actors in a heavenly drama?  In God on Stage, renowned author and professor Peter Kreeft explores fifteen great dramas, and within them, five great themes: life, death, suffering, religion, and damnation. From classics like Oedipus the King and Hamlet to modern plays like Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons and Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, Kreeft draws vivid lessons on the big questions we all ask ourselves.  Like the plays it takes up, God on Stage invites readers to smile and frown, ponder and fall in love, and sit back in awe and wonder—at art, God, and the art of God that is man.
