Sobre IBD

Spirit, Soul, and City offers a new reading of Coriolanus, Shakespeare’s most political play and the last of his great tragedies. Portraying the founding of the Roman republic and the life and soul of its legendary warrior, Coriolanus, the play brings to light not only the hidden working of Rome’s mixed regime but the inherent tragic tensions in the soul’s spirited tendency to strive to go beyond itself in order to be true to itself.

  • 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...

  • 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 ...

  • Telling, Turning Moments in the Classical Political World
    Jan H Blits / Jan H. Blits / Jan HBlits
    Turning, Telling Moments in the Classical Political World examines developments in the classical political world which are both turning and telling moments. All the moments-from Theseus’s founding of Athens to Augustus’s establishment of the Principate-possess the double character of being turning points and revealing fundamental aspects of the ancient political world. By exami...
  • New Heaven, New Earth
    Jan H Blits / Jan H. Blits / Jan HBlits
    New Heaven, New Earth is a philosophical study ofAntony and Cleopatra. Showing that the play is as much a history play as a love story, it closely examines Shakespeare’s presentation of the transition from the pagan to the Christian world-from the aftermath of the collapse of the Roman Republic and the decline of the pagan gods to the emergence of the Roman Empire and the condi...

    Jan H Blits / Jan H. Blits / Jan HBlits
    The human soul is for pre-modern philosophers the cause of both thinking and life. This double aspect of the soul, which makes man a rational animal, expresses itself above all in human action. Deadly Thought: 'Hamlet' and the Human Soul traces Hamlet’s famous inability to act to his inability to hold together these twin aspects of the soul. ...

  • End of the Ancient Republic
    Jan H Blits / Jan H. Blits / Jan HBlits
    While recent criticism of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar has stressed the corruption of both the common people and the Republic’s enemies within the patrician class, this book argues that at the core of the play lies the less obvious but more important corruption of the regime’s leading defenders, particularly Brutus. ...
