The journey continues and the mysteries multiply in this mind-bending audio play that investigates the very nature of reality.

On stage and screen, we know a great performance when we see it. But how do actors draw from their bodies and minds to turn their selves into art? What is the craft of being an authentic fake? More than a century ago, amid tsarist Russia’s crushing repression, one of the most talented actors ever, Konstantin Stanislavski, asked these very questions, reached deep into himself and emerged with an answer.

Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world.

Throughout history, there has been a consistent crossover between show business and espionage, often producing some of the most extraordinary undercover agents, and occasionally leading to disastrous and dangerous failures. The fact that one relies on publicity and the other on secrecy might seem to rule out a successful symbiosis, but as both require high levels of creative thinking, improvisation, disguise and role-play, they inevitably attract some remarkably similar personalities. Stars and Spies is the first history of the interplay between the two worlds.

This striking new collection exemplifies the way in which Mendelsohn - a classicist by training - uses the classics as a lens to think about urgent contemporary debates. There is much to surprise here. Mendelsohn invokes the automatons featured in Homer’s epics to help explain the AI films Ex Machina and Her and perceives how Ted Hughes sought redemption by translating a play of Euripides (the ‘bad boy of Athens’) about a wayward husband whose wife returns from the dead.

Considerada la obra más madura de Lorca, La casa de Bernarda Alba cierra la llamada trilogía de la tragedia -formada también por Bodas de sangre y Yerma-. Su carácter realista y la opresión en el pecho que se siente ante la represión de unas mujeres atrapadas en un frío infierno de luto, celos, silencio y sueños truncados se ha interpretado como un presagio de los oscuros tiempos que se avecinaban y en los que el propio Lorca se convertiría en una víctima prematura.

In un teatro, in cui si sta provando una rappresentazione, irrompono sei "personaggi" che dotati di vita reale cercano un autore che gli permetta di realizzare e rappresentare il loro dramma. Quest'opera teatrale fu rappresentata per la prima volta il 9 maggio 1921 al teatro Valle di Roma (dunque nel 2021 ricorre il centesimo anniversario), ma in quell'occasione ebbe un esito tempestoso, perché molti spettatori contestarono la rappresentazione, sorpresi dalla novità della stessa che rappresenta il teatro nel teatro e uno dei primi esempi di teatro dell'assurdo.
