Three
Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
November
30, 2007 at 7:00 pm
Mixing a bit of seventeenth-century
French history with a great deal of invention, Alexandre
Dumas tells the tale of young D’Artagnan and his musketeer
comrades, Porthos, Athos and Aramis. Together they fight to foil
the schemes of the brilliant, dangerous Cardinal Richelieu, who
pretends to support the king while plotting to advance his own
power. Bursting with swirling swordplay, swooning romance, and
unforgettable figures such as the seductively beautiful but
deadly femme fatale, Milady, and D’Artagnan’s equally
beautiful love, Madame Bonacieux, The Three Musketeers
continues, after a century and a half of continuous publication,
to define the genre of swashbuckling romance and historical
adventure. |

Hamlet
by William Shakespeare
December
2007-January 4, 2008 at 7:00 pm
In this quintessential Shakespearean
tragedy, a young prince's halting pursuit of revenge for the
murder of his father unfolds in a series of highly charged
confrontations that have held audiences spellbound for nearly
four centuries. Those fateful exchanges, and the anguished
soliloquies that precede and follow them, probe depths of human
feeling rarely sounded in any art. |
