Sobre IBD

An irreverent look at the stormy marriage of Socrates and Xanthippe. A comic dialog, an anti-dialog--a parody of Plato’s Symposium and Plato’s dialogs in general. By challenging Plato’s portrayal of Socrates, Xanthippe seeks to raise a larger philosophical issue about the value of philosophy itself.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

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...

       “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 ...

    An irreverent look at the stormy marriage of Socrates and Xanthippe. In the words of the author, 'Xanthippe is not a play about a shrew, or a taming of a shrew. It is, in fact, a comic dialog, an anti-dialog--a parody of Plato’s Symposium and Plato’s dialogs in general. Moreover, by challenging Plato’s portrayal of Socrates, Xanthippe seeks to raise a larger philosophical issu...
