LOOK BACK IN ANGER
by John Osborne.

Set in the UK at the dawn of the 60’s social unrest, this savage morality tale spawned the phrase “angry young man.” Jimmy Porter barely ekes out a living running a candy stall by day and playing jazz trumpet by night. Although he usually takes his frustrations out on his emotionless wife, Jimmy's scathing tongue and self-loathing seems destined to destroy everything.

What do you do when everyone around you is turning into a rhinoceros?... (click to see more)
In Eugene Ionesco’s farcical French classic that defines Theatre of the Absurd, Stantley Berenger is an unhappy clerk who faces this odd reality in his daily life. Written during the German occupation of Paris, this masterful comedy became a metaphor for conformity and culture that still resonates today.

Nora Helmer has everything a young housewife
could want: beautiful children, an adoring husband, a bright future...
(click to see more)

But when a carelessly buried secret rises from the past, Nora's well-calibrated domestic ideal starts to crumble. Ibsen's masterpiece is as fresh today as it was when it first stormed the
stages of 19th-century Europe.

*Although popularly known as "A Doll's House," translator Rolf Fjelde felt that the non-possessive use of "doll" was more in line with Ibsen's original intention for the title
