A select collection of old English Plays Volume VI presents a curated gathering of early English dramas that reflect a significant stage in the growth of theatrical tradition. This volume brings together works that connect the moral and allegorical style of earlier performances with the more developed structures of tragedy and comedy. Through these plays, readers encounter shifting dramatic techniques, emerging complexity in storytelling, and a deeper engagement with social and cultural concerns. The collection highlights how theatre gradually moved toward richer characterisation, sharper dialogue, and more layered conflicts, while still preserving symbolic elements from older forms. The plays also offer glimpses into the values, humour, and tensions of the period, revealing how performance served as both entertainment and reflection. Overall, the volume stands as an important record of literary transition, capturing the evolution of English drama through diverse voices and imaginative stagecraft. It also underscores the lasting influence of these early works on later theatrical movements. Readers gain a broader appreciation of how English drama matured across generations.

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
