Aristophanes: Cavalry
Offering for the first time a student introduction to Aristophanes' most explosive political satire, this volume is an essential guide to the context, themes and later reception of Cavalry. The ancient comedy is a fascinating insight into demagoguery and political rhetoric in classical Athens. These are subjects that resonate with a modern audience more now than ever before. Originally performed in 424 BCE, Cavalry was the first play Aristophanes directed himself and it was awarded first prize. It targets the Athenian demagogue, Cleon, who had risen to prominence since the death of Pericles and to pre-eminence after an audacious victory over Sparta in 425 BCE. In Cavalry, Aristophanes attacks Cleon's popularity with the masses, but also criticises the democracy itself as guilty of gullibility, self-interest and political shortsightedness. As the play shows, the only hope of escape from the crisis is for Athens to find a leader even more popular Cleon. And who better to be more foul-mouthed, depraved and shameless than a sausage-seller, if only because he turns out in the end to have a good heart and a true love of traditional Athenian values?

Eat the Rich (But Maybe Not Me Mates X)
"If there's one thing worse than classism and the disparity of wealth in this country... it's FOMO." Eat the Rich (but maybe not me mates x) is a darkly funny, politically sharp solo show about class, survival and double standards in modern Britain. Inspired by real events, it follows Jade, a working-class Scouser who gets into Cambridge and takes a cleaning job to get by, secretly scrubbing the toilets of the very people she studies alongside. As she wrestles with code-switching, inherited shame and the exhausting mental gymnastics of trying to belong in an institution built to exclude people like her, the show lays bare the absurdities of Britain's class system and the cost of learning to navigate it. At a time when arts funding is being slashed and working-class voices are pushed further to the margins, Eat the Rich refuses to flatten class struggle into easy binaries. Instead, it asks: what happens when you 'make it out' and is the cost always a quiet betrayal of where you came from? CAST: 1 actor DURATION: 60 minutes This edition contains a Q&A with Jade Franks (writer) and Ellie Fulcher (dramaturg), along with questions to use for study and discussion.

Cinthio's Desdemona
The play Othello is one of Shakespeare's grimmest tragedies. Cinthio's Desdemona: the Story that inspired Othello, is almost horror.Written in the Duchy of Ferrara decades before the Shakespeare play, the story Cinthio gives us is centred on its only named character: Desdemona.It is a story about a man obsessed with a woman he cannot have (Desdemona) and who, because of it, he wants to kill. Shakespeare's play is about a man's hatred of a man: Iago's hatred of Othello. It is a profound difference between the story and the play.This publication of Cinthio's Desdemona, as well as giving us a fresh new English translation (in a parallel language edition) is accompanied by an extensive introduction and afterword. These explore the relationship between the Italian and English versions of the story as well as misogyny and attitudes towards race and gender in Renaissance Italy and Elizabethan England.What were attitudes to domestic violence of this era, and what would Cinthio's readers and Shakespeare's audience have understood from the story? What might Cinthio and Shakespeare have wanted them to take away? Are the story and play racist, or do they only portray racism? Can we talk of racism, before the word was even invented? How has the story influenced our ideas about relationships between men and women and race down the centuries?These and other questions are explored.Yet at its heart, this book presents Cinthio's storytelling, storytelling so compelling that it inspired Shakespeare to pen one of literature's most famous plays. It is a story which explores the worst in human nature and captures realities which are still with us today.Following Matteo Bandello's, Romeo and Juliet, Cinthio's Desdemona is the second book in the series Shakespeare Begins.

The Methuen Drama Anthology of Contemporary Italian Plays
Italy is home to one of the most vibrant contemporary playwriting scenes in Europe, yet Italian dramatists are little known to English-language readers and audiences: discover their stories and perspective in English for the very first time. Written between 2013 and 2022 by award-winning authors, the plays in this collection document a theatre culture not only preoccupied with the personal dimension of intimate and family relations, good food and designer fashion, as some stereotypical views of 'Italianness' would have it, but with deeply political, socially engaged matters of global resonance. Together the plays look at issues such as climate change (The Fattest Woman in the World); gender equality (Gentleman Anne); racism and citizenship (The Foreigner's Smile); history and memory (Portrait of the Artist as a Dead Man); the world of work in neoliberal times (Bidibibodibiboo); mental health, trauma and grief (Big Fright); migration and the 'refugee crisis' (Antigone Power); and life beyond Earth (Carbon). Each of these themes feature as key apprehensions in the characters' lives and stories, creating engaging and contemporary works of drama. Translated by leading practitioners and including a critical essay by the editor, The Methuen Drama Anthology of Contemporary Italian Plays acts as a perfect introduction to the world of contemporary Italian drama for both performance and study.
