A timeless French comedy full of intrigues, infidelity, old debts, droit du seigneur and piquant accusation of those in power. The celebrity and ruler of the region, Count Almaviva, unwittingly battles the wits of his subordinate yet greatest rival, the servant Figaro. When the Count wants to taste the sweet embrace of Susanna, Figaro's chosen one, a tough fight begins.

The Marriage Of Figaro, Or A Crazy Day

Theater of JK Tyl New Stage

One evening, near a sleepy American town somewhere in Colorado, gunshots ring out—and soon after, Grace appears. She is on the run. She needs shelter from gangsters pursuing her and threatening her life. She is fortunate: the residents of Dogville, led by writer Tom, grant her refuge, and in return she helps them with their daily tasks. She babysits Vera and Chuck’s children, assists Mrs. Ginger in her store, polishes glass for the Hensen family, and keeps blind Mr. McKay company. She is welcomed into the community, and for Grace, the hope of a new beginning seems to dawn. After all, human beings are essentially good. Or… are they?

Dogville

She created one of the most important works of English literature, but she did not live to see it recognised. The characters of this moving story are related not only by blood but by place, where nature speaks as powerfully as the ghosts of ancient guilt. The stormy elements also stir the peculiar notions of good and evil with which Emily Brontë has so irritated contemporary society. Balladic and almost horror-like, Wuthering Heights is psychologically on a par with the greatness of ancient dramas. It tells the story of people who dedicate their lives to a destructive desire. The only woman who can stop the dark hero on his path of vengeance marries his rival. The obsession that transcends the temporary limits of human existence and the birth of evil are the driving dramatic forces behind the characters. Their story has rightly inspired both filmmakers and the world's theatres.
