Легендарний твір Шекспіра продовжує завойовувати серця все нових поколінь читачів, будучи найбільш відомим, зворушливим і трагічним твором про любов. Сюжет п'єси спочатку виник в новелістиці італійського Відродження, а Шекспір його впізнав в обробці англійського поета Артура Брука в поемі Ромеус і Джульєтта (1562). Головні герої трагедії — двадцятирічний Ромео і Джульєтта, якій немає ще й чотирнадцяти років. Дія п'єси охоплює п'ять днів і відбувається на початку XIV століття в місті Вероні.

П'єса класика української драматургії Івана Карпенка-Карого Сто тисяч є психологічною трагікомедією, у якій розкриваються такі людські вади, як жадоба наживи та споживацький спосіб життя. Для головного героя твору — сільського багатія Герасима Калитки, сенс життя зводиться до того, аби купувати все більше і більше землі, ставати все багатшим і перевершити найзаможнішого чоловіка на селі — Жолудя. Прагнучи з усього отримати вигоду, Калитка позичає гроші кумові під заставу та прагне одружити свого сина з донькою багатія Пузиря.

"Hay una miríada de relatos en la tradición judía, y en parte también en la musulmana, que describe a Caín de forma diferente a la versión bíblica; y yo, que al fin y al cabo no soy más que un cuentacuentos, he trabajado sobre esos relatos alternativos." En esta obra, Andrea Camilleri ofrece una visión insólita y sorprendente del primer homicida de la historia. Se trata de un Caín inventor del concepto de elección, y por tanto de la idea de responsabilidad de la que descienden las nociones tan radicadas en la cultura occidental, de culpa y culpabilidad.

Uncle Vanya is a play by the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. It was first published in 1897. The play portrays the visit of an elderly professor and his glamorous, much younger second wife, Yelena, to the rural estate that supports their urban lifestyle. Two friends—Vanya, brother of the professor's late first wife, who has long managed the estate, and Astrov, the local doctor—both fall under Yelena's spell while bemoaning the ennui of their provincial existence. Sonya, the professor's daughter by his first wife, who has worked with Vanya to keep the estate going, suffers from her unrequited feelings for Astrov.

Зойкина квартира — трагический фарс в трех актах знаменитого русского писателя, драматурга и театрального деятеля Михаила Афанасьевича Булгакова (1891–1940). Действие происходит в Москве, незадолго после большевистской революции. В квартиру Зои Михайловны вламывается председатель домкома товарищ Портупея и сообщает, что ее шестикомнатную квартиру положено "уплотнить". Дескать, по-буржуйски это, одной такую жилплощадь занимать, и свободные комнаты требуется подселить новых жильцов.

Story
Пьеса Булгакова Багровый остров была написана по мотивам одноименного сатирического фельетона. Этот блестящий политический памфлет отражал все события, происходящие в России, начиная с февральской революции. Используя имена героев сочинений Жюля Верна и Киплинга, автор мастерски выписал самые яркие политические фигуры того времени с присущим ему неподражаемым сарказмом. Неудивительно, что при жизни Булгакова пьеса не была опубликована.

Story
Пьеса Михаила Булгакова, в которой описан техногенный конец света в результате газовой войны. Во время химической войны из-под контроля выходит т. н. Солнечный Газ и человечество гибнет, в живых остаются лишь несколько человек, живущих отныне в коммуне. Пьесу не смогли опубликовать или поставить при жизни Булгакова. Приговор цензуры был суров: "ставить эту пьесу нельзя, так как там погибает Ленинград". Впервые она вышла в 1971 году, в Париже. В СССР её выпустили в октябре 1987 года.

Story
Nessuno sa il mio nome è la seconda raccolta di saggi di James Baldwin pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1961 e scritta durante la sua permanenza in Europa, quando la distanza dagli Stati Uniti, fortissimamente voluta, gli aveva permesso di riflettere in modo nuovo sulla condizione delle persone nere in una società dominata dai bianchi. Trascendere la sterile categoria di blackness, sia essa quella imposta dal mondo bianco o quella eretta a scopo difensivo dalla comunità nera, divenne il nucleo dell’opera di Baldwin come scrittore.

Story
Среди книг западной беллетристики, изображающих жизнь театральных подмостков, Актриса - классическое произведение, может быть, лучшее, что написано в этой области. Эдмон де Гонкур дал в Актрисе своеобразное сочетание романа и исследования, сплетающихся, дополняющих друг друга и освещающих судьбу и творчество главной героини произведения, Жюльетты Фостэн, великой актрисы, вылепленной Гонкуром наподобие знаменитых трагических артисток французской сцены.

Story
Маленькие трагедии Александра Пушкина — это сборник коротких драматических пьес, написанных поэтом в 1830—1832 годах в Болдине. Он состоит из четырёх произведений: "Скупой рыцарь", "Моцарт и Сальери", "Каменный гость" и "Пир во время чумы". Анна Ахматова писала, что "быть может, ни в одном из созданий мировой поэзии грозные вопросы морали не поставлены так резко, как в "Маленьких трагедиях" Пушкина". Эти произведения характеризуются небольшим объемом, но содержат глубокие идеи, мастерский язык и уникальную поэтику.

Story
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare first performed in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, such as Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. Set in Rome in 44 BC, the play depicts the moral dilemma of Brutus as he joins a conspiracy led by Cassius to murder Julius Caesar to prevent him from becoming dictator of Rome. Following Caesar's death, Rome is thrust into a period of civil war, and the republic the conspirators sought to preserve is lost forever.
