The Forest Song, a play in three acts, unfolds in spirited dialogues between Ukrainian mythological characters and people of the land. It meditates on humanity and nature and recreates local Volhynian folklore. This crowning achievement by Lesia Ukrainka is a testament to the power of love to overcome differences and even bring back the dead.

Methuen Drama Play Collections

Elaine Romero is an award-winning and prolific Latina playwright with a career spanning more than thirty years. In her Border Trilogy-Wetback, Mother of Exiles, and Title IX -she presents a striking and prophetic vision of life along the US-Mexico border. 

In this, the first anthology of her work, Elaine Romero's plays introduced by Jimmy A. Noriega who contextualizes the plays alongside her remarkable life and achievements . Her plays tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time, including debates on undocumented immigration, gun safety and schools, and gender discrimination in the workplace. The heroines of the trilogy are Latina educators caught in different moments of political upheaval as they attempt to negotiate the crevices between the personal and the political. 
 
Wetback charts the intertwined fates of an accomplished Latina principal, a Chicana activist journalist, a Mexican undocumented worker, and a white supremacist superintendent and his two children. Mother of Exiles features an Ivy-league educated Latina who returns to teach theatre in her hometown, only to find that it is the moment the state has decided to arm teachers as the frontline of defense against school shootings. Title IX begins in 1972 when a teacher hesitates to use the law when she is sexually harassed in the workplace; the second part takes place in 2016, when her adult daughter seeks help through Title IX in a similar situation. All three plays interrogate race and gender in a society (and system) still struggling to see how the world we have created/legislated differs from the world in which we live.

Elaine Romero: The Border Trilogy

Penguin Clothbound Classics

The theme of the great Shakespearean tragedies is a hero's fall from grace due to a fatal character flaw. Whether it is the ruthless ambition of Macbeth or the folly of Lear, the irresolution of Hamlet or the suspicion of Othello, the cause of the tragedy - even when it is the murder of a king - is trifling compared to the calamity that it unleashes. Despite their flawed natures, however, the tragic protagonists all have a nobility that emphasizes the greatness of humanity. From this paradox the audience is brought to a greater understanding of - and sympathy with - suffering. The four tragedies in this collection are accompanied by notes and an introduction to each text.

Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth

Four Tragedies

This collection brings Crothers's best plays back into the public eye, outside of archives, to prove their continued relevance to life in the 21st century. The issues raised in plays such as Susan and God (1937), Mary the Third (1923), and A Man's World (1910) concern career versus motherhood/parenthood, marriage, the double standard, generational divisions providing representations that audiences today understand and appreciate. Rachel Crothers was considered in her own time to be "the most famous woman playwright in America" (Charles E. Barnum, Sunday Morning Star). At her peak, 26 of her plays graced Broadway and touring stages, on par with Eugene O'Neill's record, and Hollywood adapted more than half of those for the silver screen, making her one of the most prominent playwrights of the early 20th century. Forgotten Broadway is the first edited collection of plays by Crothers, demonstrating her impressive accomplishments as a writer-director during one of the most important periods of Broadway history. Known by her contemporaries as an "all-around woman of the theatre" due to her double duty as a writer and practitioner, despite all her successes, her plays have fallen out of print and are rarely produced in any theatrical setting.

Forgotten Broadway: The Selected Plays of Rachel Crothers

Modern Plays

God seems to ask a lot of things of a lot of people The parishioners of All Hallows Church are putting on a production of Noah's Ark, one of a cycle of mystery plays performed by all the local parishes. The Bishop is hopeful the project will help paper over the cracks revealed by an unfortunate incident involving an evangelical, a glass of wine and an angry liberal. Rory, All Hallows' vicar, wants to keep a low profile, and his partner Simon is happy to provide musical accompaniment but would rather he wasn't given any lines, thank you very much. The congregation, however, have other plans. For Patricia, the show is an opportunity to show off the church's artistic talents, while the Curate, Hannah, hopes it will give her a chance to get to know the parishioners better. Meanwhile, Fin becomes ever more infuriated at Rory's hands-off approach and teenager Erin just hopes that this is a family where she might find a home. Above all, Rory wants to keep the ship - and his relationship - afloat. Can this battered vessel still offer its clergy and congregation sanctuary in the storm? Compassionate and funny, The Flock depicts the bumpy road to inclusion for this community, asking how we can live and worship alongside one another when our differences are so marked. How do we remain together when we're so far apart? This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Chichester Festival Theatre in August 2021.

Arden Early Modern Drama Guides

An international group of scholars reappraise The Winter's Tale through a series of research essays covering performance history, critical history, and new interpretations. Navigating the play's fluctuating genre conventions, onstage spectacle and leaps across time, scholars consider how eco-materiality, radical hospitality, childhood, gender, and critical race studies shape contemporary understandings and staging of a play that defies easy definition. By charting these changing interpretive trends, readers are introduced to a rich body of scholarship which shows how the play can be used to confront the experiences of those marginalized by race, age, gender, and nationality, to place fresh attention on the economic and material structures that define the dramatic plot of the play. As The Winter's Tale's depictions of patriarchal violence, vulnerability, economic disparity, border crossings and exploitation continue to draw attention, this guide serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, students and audiences alike. Complete with pedagogical tools including resources and strategies for approaching the play in the classroom, this Critical Reader is an essential collection of scholarship on one of Shakespeare's most audacious experiments.
