What follows is a torrent of mistaken identities and sex-crazed scheming in which the upper classes have never looked so low class.

This timeless comedy of manners is considered one of Molière's most probing and mature works. While it's still an exemplar of 17th century farce, Molière went beyond his usual comic inventiveness to create a world of rich, complex characters, especially in the cynical title character Alceste, played here by the Tony Award-winning actor Brian Bedford.

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tennessee Williams is one of the three most important American dramatists of the 20th century, alongside Arthur Miller and Eugene O'Neill. Acclaimed for their lyrical language, dark themes and vivid portrayal of the American South, his works have spawned several Oscar-winning films and been translated and performed worldwide. Collected here are some of the best, beginning with the play that launched Williams' career: The Glass Menagerie.

A long lost daughter and the Devil Sea
A long lost daughter and the Devil Sea
Playwright #eugeneoneill introduced the two main characters in an earlier, less successful play but this rework, of a Swedish Barge Captain and his long lost daughter whom he had shipped off to the American countryside upon the death of his wife to remove her from the long tradition of Seamen married to long suffering wives proved more tragic for her than the mariner cycle of their forebearers. In the process, the play made its way to #broadway and was also the recipient of the #1922 #pulitzerprizefordrama which is what I was reading it as part of the #pulitzerprizereadingchallenge , O'Neill's second of four Pulitzer Prizes.
As well as downloading the script to read, I also listened to an audible version which does give the reading fuller interpretation. What seems to be heading for a tragedy resolves humorously as the title character ultimately finds herself on the course of her ancestral predecessors. While dated and sexist, it fits the rough and tumble life of mariners of the time and received 177 performances at the #vanderbilttheatre on Broadway. As I am a sucker for Sea stories, I found it to be a fun read.
