Birds
by Aristophanes
Widely acknowledged as Aristophanes masterpiece, The Birds concerns a pair of fugitives from Athenian blight, who unite with the birds to found and idyllic city in the clouds. Aware that they'll require assistance from the gods in maintaining their utopia, the friends and their avian allies strategically build their "cloud-duckootown" between heaven and earth, forming an impermeable wall between the gods and their worshippers. The immortals, deprived of the nourishing smoke from earthly sacrifices, quickly accede to the new city's demands and provide a happy ending for all. A creative fantasy by one of the most brilliant and popular of the ancient Greek playwrights, The Birds sparkles with comic vitality, combining witty dialog, interludes of exquisite lyricism, and clever stage effects for an extravaganza as appealing to modern audiences as it was to Athenians of more than 2,000 years ago.

Six Characters in Search of an Author
by Luigi Pirandello
Luigi Pirandello's masterpiece, "Six Characters in Search of an Author", presents the playwright's views about the isolation of the individual from society and from himself. This play within a play chronicles six characters as they seek an author to tell their story, and to present their real lives on stage. But do their realities make better tales than fiction?
The Beggar's Opera
by Vaclav Havel
THE BEGGAR'S OPERA is a free-wheeling, highly politicized adaptation of John Gay's well-known eighteenth-century work of the same name. The play, reminiscent of Havel's earlier GARDEN PARTY and THE MEMORANDUM, is up to his best satirical standard. Like the Brecht/Weill THREEPENNY OPERA, Havel's play uses an underworld milieu to explore the intermingled themes of love, loyalty, and treachery.
