'The single greatest contribution to Shakespeare scholarship in recent memory.' Hamlet Made Simple and Other Essays: • Presents the most compelling and original reading of Hamlet since A.C. Bradley; • Dispenses once and for all with the psychoanalytic interpretation of the play; • Explains the actual meaning of the Oedipus myth; • Provides the 'smoking gun' which establishes Shakespeare's true identity; • Explodes the fable of Shakespeare's appearance; and • In the process of correcting misreadings of Shakespeare's poetry and drama, Hamlet Made Simple offers vital insights and indispensable guidance on how this challenging writer can be fairly and productively approached today. 'The definitive exposition of Shakespeare in our time. Nothing else compares.' This book, that combines wit with learning, will delight all who love Shakespeare and commentary on Shakespeare. - Theodore Dalrymple, author of Life at the Bottom and Farewell Fear Professor Gontar has provided us with a fresh, energetic, searching and sometimes acerbic look at Shakespeare, and, especially, some of his modern critics. Equally adept at expositing the texts and engaging the most distinguished readers, Gontar always encourages us to re-examine our own preconceptions as a way of discovering and reappropriating Shakespeare's genius in our day. - Dr. William R. Long, author of Wisdom Seeking: Thirty Days with the Book of Proverbs As a contemporary of the future, Shakespeare is forever. Prof. Gontar offers original and penetrating insights into the fabric of Shakespeare's plays and into the souls of their unforgettable characters. - Jimmie Moglia, author of Your Daily Shakespeare

  • 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...

    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...

    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 ...
