Richard II is dangerously out of touch with his kingdom. He wastes money, raises taxes to support his lavish lifestyle, plays favorites, and cares more about his vanity than the common good. When Henry Bolingbroke - father of the future Henry V - challenges Richard for the throne, it's a fight the king can't win. But in losing his crown he gains far greater things: his humanity and his soul.

Mit "Lysistrate" schuf Aristophanes eine der bekanntesten Komödien des antiken Griechenlands. Das Stück wurde 411 v. Chr. uraufgeführt – mitten im Peloponnesischen Krieg – und ist bis heute ein Paradebeispiel für politische Satire, weiblichen Protest und kluge Komik. In der Handlung verbünden sich die Frauen Athens und Spartas, um ihre Männer zum Frieden zu zwingen – indem sie den Geschlechtsverkehr verweigern. Was folgt, ist eine bissige, humorvolle und überraschend moderne Auseinandersetzung mit Krieg, Macht, Geschlechterrollen und gesellschaftlichem Wandel.

Mit "Medea" schuf Euripides eines der eindrucksvollsten Dramen der griechischen Antike. Im Mittelpunkt steht Medea, die von ihrem Mann Jason für eine andere verlassen wird – und deren Reaktion in eine der radikalsten Taten der Tragödienliteratur mündet. Die Tragödie thematisiert Liebe, Rache, Machtlosigkeit und die Stellung der Frau – und zeigt, wie Schmerz, Stolz und Ausgrenzung einen Menschen zu tragischen Entscheidungen bewegen können. Ein weltberühmter Stoff – Medeas Geschichte wird bis heute auf den Bühnen der Welt gespielt und diskutiert.

In "Antigone", eine der wohl bekanntesten Tragödien des griechischen Dramatikers Sophokles, widersetzt sich die junge Frau dem Befehl des Königs: Sie will ihren Bruder Polyneikes ehrenvoll bestatten – obwohl dieser als Staatsfeind gilt. Ihr Mut, das menschliche Gewissen über das staatliche Gesetz zu stellen, führt zu einer dramatischen Kettenreaktion. Der Konflikt zwischen Pflicht, Macht, Familie und göttlichem Recht macht Antigone bis heute zu einem der meistgespielten Dramen der Weltliteratur.

Inspiriert von der griechischen Mythologie erzählt Goethe die Geschichte von Iphigenie, die als Priesterin auf der Insel Tauris lebt und zwischen ihrer Pflicht und ihrem Wunsch nach Freiheit hin- und hergerissen ist.
