"Henry IV" is the most successful and popular of Shakespeare's historical dramas, and is regarded as the representative work of Shakespeare's historical dramas. The main content of this work is to reflect the process of Henry IV and his princes' desperate struggle against the rebellious princes and nobles.

"The Merry Wives of Windsor" was written by Shakespeare in 1600. The story describes Sir John Falstaff, a money-loving and lustful man in the town of Windsor. He will do anything that can make money, and he is extremely stingy and is a typical miser.

"The Merchant of Venice" is Shakespeare's important early work and a highly satirical comedy. It was made around 1596-1597. The theme of the script is to praise benevolence, friendship and love. It also reflects the contradiction between the commercial bourgeoisie and the loan sharks in the early stage of capitalism, and expresses the author's humanistic thoughts on issues such as money, law and religion in bourgeois society. An important literary achievement of this play is to create the typical image of Shylock, a profit-seeking, ruthless loan shark.

"King Lear" is one of Shakespeare's four famous tragedies and an ancient British legend. The story itself took place around the 8th century. Later, many plays were compiled in the UK.

The story tells that after the aged King Lear abdicated the throne, he was driven into the wilderness by his eldest daughter and his second daughter. The third daughter, who became the Queen of France, led an army to save her father, but was killed. King Lear died sadly beside her.

This book includes two famous drama scripts by Mr. Lao She, one is "Teahouse" and the other is "Longxugou". "Teahouse" was created in 1956.

There are dozens of characters appearing in the play, but all of them have distinct personalities. You can "know the person by hearing their voice" and "outline the outline of a character in just a few words." This play has been performed many times at home and abroad and has won high praise. It is a classic work of contemporary Chinese drama creation. "Longxugou" was created in 1950. The play describes the different experiences of several families in a small courtyard in Beijing during social changes, and shows the earth-shaking changes in the old and new eras.

It is up to him to be praised, and it is up to him to be slandered. He is a friend and a friend to the society. He is worthy of heaven and earth. He is happy in life and happy in death. Painting dragons, phoenixes and swans, laughing and scolding all become articles! Innovation and authenticity are the patron saints of drama life; appreciating both refined and popular tastes is the popular dish that unites the audience. For thirty years, the author has always adhered to a creative style that appeals to both refined and popular tastes. His character is just like the couplets he wrote. The author's works are unconventional and are based on the actual situation and "tailor-made" for the actors in the troupe. Most of the male protagonists in his works are old students. Even so, because these plays are close to the public and target the market, they can still make the audience enjoy and thrill. At the same time, the author hopes that the audience can achieve a kind of spiritual cleansing in the process of watching the play, so as to achieve the purpose of entertaining and educating!

Works by Peter Handke, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature. This book contains Handke's three plays: "The Irrational Man Will Die", "The Moment of Strangeness" and "Planning the Eternity of Life". In "The Moment of Strangers", various characters take turns to appear on the stage. They meet each other in this center, hinder each other, form a group together, and then disintegrate it. In the author's allegorical and allegorical writing, this all-encompassing, strange, and ultimately dark world stage may be a microcosm of the real world that Handke felt. "Irrational People Will Die Eventually" depicts a picture of sentient beings whose minds have been distorted by capital and wealth. "Planning the Eternity of Life" is called "King's Play" by the author. The story takes place in an era "from the last war to the present and beyond" in an embattled enclave that is constantly threatened by war. It is a play with complex character relationships, multi-layered structure and an open ending.

Representative works of Peter Handke, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature. This book is a collection of plays, consisting of three plays. "Self-Accusation" has only two self-accusers, two characters standing on an empty stage telling their offending behavior from beginning to end. There is no scene, no dialogue, only the alternation of voices. "Insulting the Audience" is a work that made Handke famous in one fell swoop when he was 24 years old. The whole play has no storyline and scenes of traditional dramas, no dramatic characters, events and dialogues. There are only four nameless speakers who "abuse" the audience almost hysterically on a stage without scenery and curtains, demonstrating the negation of traditional drama from beginning to end. "Casper" is as subversive of traditional theater as "Waiting for Godot" in that it shows how a man named Casper learns to speak. What Handke expresses is how people are tortured by language after they learn to speak, how people become slaves of language, and this "language" often only expresses traditional consciousness or the consciousness of rulers. Now, it is this language that has domesticated people themselves. Due to the limitations of the e-book format, the content of "Casper" cannot present a complete script style, so only two parts of "Self-Recrimination" and "Scolding the Audience" are online. I wish you a happy reading.

The story all takes place in a teahouse in Beijing. People come and go in the teahouse, and people of all colors and religions gather together. A big teahouse is like a small society. Mr. Lao She captured the characteristics of this scene and highly condensed the time span of half a century and 60 to 70 primary and secondary characters into the teahouse, showing life scenes in three eras after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 in the late Qing Dynasty, the period of the Beiyang warlord separatism in the early years of the Republic of China, and the eve of the fall of the Kuomintang regime. He summarized the sharp opposition and conflicts between various classes and forces in Chinese society, and revealed the historical destiny of semi-feudal and semi-colonial China.

If you think that ancient people's love was pedantic, then read "The Peony Pavilion". There is a life of ancient people that you have never known here. Writer Bai Xianyong once joked: The back gardens of the ancients were the most dangerous. "It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming everywhere, but they are all abandoned by the ruined wells and ruined buildings. Where can the beautiful scenery be in the sky? Whose family can enjoy it?" "The Peony Pavilion" interprets such a story: a lady from a famous family in ancient times entered the back garden and saw the pleasant scenery. , I started to yearn for spring, and then I met a life-and-death love... The song "The Peony Pavilion" wrote all the lingering thoughts of crazy men and women all over the world. Even Lin Daiyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" also felt "heartache, madness, and tears in her eyes" after reading it.

One year during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Zen Master Zhiji, the abbot of Longgai Temple in Jingling (Tianmen, Hubei), was giving Zen lectures to the monks. 9-Year-old Lu Yu is making tea for Zen Master Zhiji. Fashan: "Master, there is a pearl in the sky, how can I get it?" Lu Yu: "Go and chop some bamboo to make a ladder, climb up to the sky and get it." Fashan: "How can you put a ladder in the sky?" Lu Yu: "Otherwise, how do you want to get it? "Zen Master Zhiji: "The pearl in the sky is like its own nature. If you can be enlightened and see your true nature, you can get the pearl. If you want to rely on external forces to achieve enlightenment, it is like trying to build a ladder to get the pearl in the sky. In the end, your work will be in vain..."

Through Shakespeare's wonderful writing, it became synonymous with "love". Taking the love tragedy of "Romeo and Juliet" as the prototype, later writers wrote countless masterpieces, but none of them surpassed Shakespeare. Shakespeare is the eternal master in the elaboration of language and the development of plot.

"Shakespeare's Tragedies" contains Shakespeare's four representative tragedies, including "Romeo and Juliet" (1595), "Hamlet" (1601), "Othello" (1604), "Macbeth" (1606), etc. Among these four works, although "Romeo and Juliet" ends in tragedy, its comedic atmosphere makes the script "full of youth and spring"; "Hamlet" embodies less and less romanticism, and the realistic description becomes more and more prominent; "Othello" makes a profound and powerful criticism of the evil forces in real society; in "Macbeth" and other works, ideal and glorious positive characters no longer appear, and Shakespeare's humanistic ideals are increasingly shattered. These works all profoundly exposed the social problems and human tragedies that existed at that time, and represented Shakespeare's most outstanding achievements.

Schnitzler deliberately introduces characters only by stating their identities and status. It was 20 years after the script was published that it was all put on the stage. It caused an uproar during the performance and was later banned from being performed as a pornographic play.

After years of exploration and wandering, the pendulum of drama is now gradually swinging back from the modern end to the traditional end. The theater world has gradually bid farewell to the comprehensive innovation model of overthrowing the old and bringing forth the new, and has returned to the local innovation path of bringing out the old and bringing forth the new. For example, the traditional play "Two Plum Blossoms" re-arranged by the Jinhua Wu Opera Troupe inherits the tradition without being limited to it, and emphasizes innovation rather than random innovation. It won the Protagonist Nomination Award at the 20th Shanghai Magnolia Drama and Performing Arts Awards. It was truly praised by experts and acclaimed by the audience. This is a gratifying sign for the revival of drama. As an audience member, I often linger outside the door of the theater art hall. I have neither entered the hall nor entered the room. Sometimes I glimpse a bit of the scenery inside through the crack in the door, which makes me feel like I am missing something.
