Gisela: A Tragedy, In Five Acts is a play written by John James Holroyd and originally published in 1839. The story is set in medieval Germany and revolves around the tragic fate of the title character, Gisela. She is a young woman who is forced into a loveless marriage with a cruel and abusive nobleman named Count Rudolph. Gisela finds solace in the arms of a young knight named Herman, but their love is doomed from the start due to the social and political constraints of their time. As the play progresses, Gisela’s situation becomes increasingly desperate, and she is eventually driven to take drastic measures to escape her unhappy life. The play is a powerful exploration of themes such as love, duty, and the struggle for personal freedom in a time of strict social hierarchy. With its vivid characters and intense emotional drama, Gisela: A Tragedy, In Five Acts remains a compelling work of literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

       “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...

    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...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “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 ...
