        Hamlet

        Prinz von Dänemark

        »Hamlet« gehört zu den großen Dramen der Weltliteratur. Wenn die Vielfalt der Deutungen, zu denen eine Bühnenschöpfung herausfordert, als Maßstab ihrer künstlerischen Vitalität gelten kann, dann ist dieses Stück gewiß ein lebender Klassiker geblieben.

        Papa Hamlet

        by Arno Holz, Johannes Schlaf, Theo Meyer, Theo Meyer

        Der »große, unübertroffene Hamlet«, ein Schmierenschauspieler, ein Komödiant, der mit seiner schwindsüchtigen Frau in Schmutz, Hunger und Kälte ein erbärmliches Leben in der Dachstube fristet, geht zugrunde am Alkohol, nachdem er in der Wut sein schreiendes Kind erwürgt hat. In den drei Erzählungen, die sich hinter dem Titel Papa Hamlet verbergen, ist es vor allem der neue Stoff- und Themenbereich, der 1889 bei Erscheinen des Bandes Aufsehen erregte: das soziale Elend des großstädtischen Industrieproletariats und die triste Schattenwelt von Armut und Laster, erzählt mit einer sprachlichen Sensibilität, die fähig war, alle Details der Alltagswelt aufzunehmen.

        Im Frühjahr 2001 hat Christoph Schlingensief mit seiner Hamlet-Inszenierung am Zürcher Schauspielhaus für öffentliches Aufsehen gesorgt - weil er aussteigewillige Neonazis in seine Theaterarbeit integrierte, weil er bei seinen Straßenaktionen unter anderem zum Verbot der Schweizerischen Volkspartei aufrief, weil er den deutschen Innenminister Otto Schily dazu aufforderte, die Mehrheitsanteile von Torsten Lemmer, dem Produzent und Teilhaber des weltgrößten Vertriebes für rechtsradikale Musik, zu kaufen, und zuletzt, weil er zusammen mit dem Ensemble den Verein „REIN e.V.“ für weitere aussteigewillige Neonazis gründete.

        Hamlet

        by William Shakespeare

        Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play, and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". The play likely was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime, and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879. It has inspired many other writers—from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch—and has been described as "the world's most filmed story after Cinderella"

        District D

        by Artem Chekh

        District D is a collection of stories united through a common time period and location, from which gradually emerges a portrait of the author against the backdrop of “other shores,” on which his childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood passed. The book paints a self-critical portrait of the author in which one can discern the features of husbandry and cosmopolitanism, pettiness and magnanimity, and much else. Simultaneously, it paints a group portrait of a few dozen more or less registered residents of the aforementioned Cherkasy district with their more or less successful attempts at surviving the unexpected transition from post-soviet to newly independent Ukraine. According to the author, District D served as therapy for his own traumatic experiences because he wrote it while serving in the war: “I would write it out of me and would feel better; I escaped from that war and those experiences into writing.”

        Beyond The Spanish Tragedy

        A study of the works of Thomas Kyd

        by Lukas Erne, Paul Edmondson, Martin White

        Kyd is arguably Shakespeare's most important tragic predecessor. Brilliantly fusing the drama of the academic and popular traditions, Thomas Kyd's plays are of central importance for understanding how the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries came about. Called 'an extraordinary dramatic . genius' by T.S. Eliot, Thomas Kyd invented the revenge tragedy genre that culminated in Shakespeare's Hamlet some twelve years later. In this study, The Spanish Tragedy - the most popular of all plays on the English Renaissance stage - receives the extensive scholarly and critical treatment it deserves, including a full reception and modern stage history. Yet as Erne shows, Thomas Kyd is much more than the author of a single masterpiece. Don Horatio (partly extant in The First Part of Hieronimo), the lost early Hamlet, Soliman and Perseda, and Cornelia all belong to what emerges in this work as a coherent dramatic oeuvre. This groundbreaking study is now in paperback. ;
