This looks interesting. I will plan to BC it soon, if someone is willing to edit it. (PM me please to discuss.)Carolin wrote:All for Love; Or, The World Well Lost: A Tragedy by John Dryden

Interesting read so far! Reminds me of Shakespeare in style.

Yay! I'm glad All for Love will be getting the LV treatment. I read it a year ago for a university class, and it's a lovely, poetic treatment of the Antony and Cleopatra story---one that's also far less hectic than Shakespeare's (though Shakespeare's language is undoubtedly superior). I had actually been eyeing it as potentially my first play to BC here, but I guess I was beaten to the punch.
Coincidentally, I also read The Beggar's Opera for that class, and it's definitely a notable omission in our catalogue, what with it being the basis for Brecht's Threepenny Opera and all. But as a ballad opera, it would be a major undertaking, since ideally every air would be sung.

Beggar's Opera doesn't have to be sung, which would be a very daunting effort. It could be purely the words. We're doing that with some Gilbert's now....

I have collected the old drama suggestions off the general book suggestions forum, merged them all together into one thread and added that thread to this one. so please have a look at the first 7 or 8 pages of this thread to revisit the oldest suggestions

OK, Plautus is too much.
How about Charley's Aunt.
A stage play at the turn of the last century.
Very popular at the time.
Always a pleasure.
Please, can anyone look into this.
Thanks

As you may have noticed, I have started new plays by my authors whose plays are just cataloged or full and nearly ready to catalog -Farquhar, Barrie, Dumas, Pinero.
I also have readied a new play by Moliere - actually two: "School for Husband" and "School for Wive"s which I will run in parallel - but I will offer these only when the last two parts of "The Bourgeois Gentleman" are claimed.
Thanks, Todd

I love Moliere -- BUT the translations we've used for the existing recordings sucked... DO these versions rhyme?ToddHW wrote: I also have readied a new play by Moliere - actually two: "School for Husband" and "School for Wive"s which I will run in parallel
