The Women of Troy (2006)

Actors

Plot
After ten years, The Trojan War is over. All its men are dead, all its women's fate lie in the hands of their conquerors: a future filled with dread, punishment and humiliation. In a prison, as the women await their fate, they struggle to keep alive their dignity, their humanity and their memories of a civilisation soon to be lost for ever. Two thoughts keep them alive: to see their prince, Astyanax survive to found a new Troy. And to see the punishment by death of the woman they blame for all their suffering Helen.

Hamlet (1996)

Actors

Plot
Hamlet, son of the king of Denmark, is summoned home for his father's funeral and his mother's wedding to his uncle. In a supernatural episode, he discovers that his uncle, whom he hates anyway, murdered his father. In an incredibly convoluted plot--the most complicated and most interesting in all literature--he manages to (impossible to put this in exact order) feign (or perhaps not to feign) madness, murder the "prime minister," love and then unlove an innocent whom he drives to madness, plot and then unplot against the uncle, direct a play within a play, successfully conspire against the lives of two well-meaning friends, and finally take his revenge on the uncle, but only at the cost of almost every life on stage, including his own and his mother's.

Quotes:

Hamlet: 'Tis now the very witching time of night, when church yards yawn and hell itself breathes out contagion to this world.

Hamlet: Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio - a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung these lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?

Hamlet: If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart, absent thee from felicity awhile and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain to tell my story.

Hamlet: O, from this time forth my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth!

Hamlet: If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.

Hamlet: But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.

Hamlet: To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.

Hamlet: I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire! Why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving, how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

Hamlet: I lov'd Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love make up my sum.

Hamlet: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

The Trojan Women (1971)

Actors

Plot
Hecuba and the other women of Troy rise to find their city in ruins and their cause lost. The city has fallen into Greek hands and it is likely their lot to become slaves of Greek soldiers. A messenger approaches to inform them that the lots have been drawn and each woman will be taken to the man who drew for her. Of particular interest is Hecuba's daughter, Cassandra, who is chosen for the Greek kings bedchamber. She has received word of this news already and is in hiding because she has sworn an oath to the gods that she will live as a virgin. When she is found she has some particularly nasty things to say about treatment at Greek hands.

Quotes:

Cassandra: If God still lives, my marriage will be bloodier than Helen's.

Cassandra: This truth stands firm... the wise will fly from war, but if war comes, to die well is to win the victor's crown.

Cassandra: [to Hecuba] I know that I am mad, but mother dearest, now, for this one time, I do not rave.

Talthybius: [to Hecuba about the ordered death of Astynax] A herald who must bring such orders should be a man who feels no pity and no shame either... not like me.

Hecuba: [to Helen] Never make gods out fools to whitewash your own evil.

Helen: [to Menelaus] Am I allowed to speak against the charge? To show you that if I die that I shall die most wronged and innocent?::Menelaus: I have come to kill you, not to argue with you.::Hecuba: [ironically] Oh, hear her. She must not die unheard.

[last lines]::Hecuba: Trembling body... old weak limbs... you must carry me on to the new day of slavery.

Hecuba: Count no one happy, however fortunate, before he dies.

Hecuba: I think those that are gone care little how they are buried. It is we, the living, our vanity.

Talthybius: [rides up and dismounts; he walks slowly forward and stops some distance from Andromache] Wife of the noblest man that was in Troy... O wife of Hector, do not hate me. Against my will I come to tell you... [Andromache looks at him; he continues haltingly] The people and the kings have all resolved -...::Andromache: What is it? Evil follows words like those.::Talthybius: This child they order - - [he can't finish the phrase - he looks away, then through clenched teeth] Oh, how can I say it...::Andromache: [presses her son against her] Not that he does not go with me to the same master -...::Talthybius: No man in Greece shall ever be his master.::Andromache: [stares at Talthybius, perplexed] But - - leave him here - - all that is left of Troy?::Talthybius: I don't know how to tell you. What is bad words can't make better -...::Andromache: [hoping against hope] I feel you kind. But you have not good news.::Talthybius: [long pause, then he screams out] Your child must die! There, now you know the whole, bad as it is!::Andromache: [silence. Then slowly, as if from the marrow of her bones, the scream comes - - wild, scaringly, rising from the dark roots of sound beyond words]

The Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962)

Actors

Plot
Three druggists travel with a Milquetoast inventor, Schuyler, and his girlfriend, Diane, to ancient Greece on a newly invented time machine. There, the evil tyrant, Odius, takes a shine to the woman and has the guys enslaved as galley rowers using the excuse of the three druggists helping a rebel leader, Ulysses, escape. The rigors of the rowing pump Schuyler up into a muscleman with strength comparable to Hercules himself, who is in the employ of Odius. The threesome get the idea of raising money by promoting Schuyler as Hercules for a series of physical contests. Using a combination of his great strength and, a judicious use of a large supply of potent tranquilizers Curly-Joe brought with him, Schuyler is a success. However, this leads to trouble when the real McCoy learns about the imposter.

Curly Joe: My calm down pills!

Schuyler Davis: You know, these old Greek things certainly have lovely curves, haven't they?::Moe: These young Greek things ain't bad, either!

Curly Joe: But we're outnumbered.::Moe: You're outbrained too, but we have to try anyhow.

DE CE HECUBA?!

Duration: 1:59
Updated: 18 Nov 2014

de Matei Vişniec REGIA: Anca Bradu; SCENOGRAFIA, VIDEO ŞI LIGHT DESIGN: Mihai Păcurar; COREGRAFIA: Adriana Bârză; MUZICA ŞI SOUND DESIGN: Vlaicu Golcea; DISTRIBUŢIA: Diana Văcaru Lazăr, Dana Taloş, Maria Tomoiagă, Dan Glasu, Iustinian Turcu, Arina Ioana Trif, Paul Bondane, Liviu Vlad, Iulia Pop, Cendana Trifan, Vlad Robaş, Ioan Paraschiv, Gabriela Neagu, Anton Balint, Tudor Răileanu, Cristian Timbuş. Spectacol realizat în coproducţie cu Universitatea Lucian Blaga Sibiu, Centrul de Cercetări Avansate în Domeniul Artelor Spectacolului (CAVAS), Academy of Dramatic Art (University of Zagreb, Croaţia) şi Csokonai Theatre (Debrecen, Ungaria). Proiect cultural finanţat cu sprijin de la Administraţia Fondului Cultural Naţional Matei Vişniec, cel mai jucat dramaturg român, scrie o tragedie modernă despre Hecuba, regina Troiei şi un personaj feminin de dimensiuni apocaliptice. Hecuba… de nouǎsprezece ori ai nǎscut bǎiat şi acum toţi nouǎsprezece sunt cenuşǎ. Hecuba e mama care are curajul să înfrunte zeii pentru suferințele copiilor săi. Hecuba e obligată să retrăiască la temperatura extazului fiecare episod memorabil din viața ei de mamă și regină. De ce de la căderea Troiei când Hecuba și-a pierdut 19 copii în focul luptelor, și până acum, nu s-a schimbat de fapt nimic? Începutul și sfârșitul lumii față în față, într-un spectacol care folosește tehnicile multimedia pentru a aduce laolaltă lumea în ruină a oamenilor și înălțimile selenare ale zeilor. ,,De ce Hecuba?”, un spectacol uluitor despre strigătele nașterii și ale morții, în regia Ancăi Bradu, scenografia lui Mihai Păcurar şi muzica de Vlaicu Golcea. ,,Textul lui Vișniec m-a atras datorită actualității fierbinți a temei și prin construcția sa poetică. «De ce Hecuba?», e de fapt un poem dramatic ce invocă forța infinită a iubirii ca antidot împotriva ororilor provocate de oameni semenilor lor. Strigătul Hecubei, născătoarea legendară ce și-a pierdut toți fiii în focul războiului troian, reprezintă vocea universală a mamelor ce încearcă prin puterea suferinței lor exemplare să readucă mult prea însângerata lume în legile armoniei și ale dragostei. Altminteri dominația haosului poate genera dezechilibre apocaliptice.” (Anca Bradu) ,,Cred că dintr-o încercare de a găsi defecțiunea noastră metafizică s-a născut și piesa «De ce Hecuba». Dintr-o dorință de a înțelege, dar și de a pune altfel problema… Atâta violență, atâta mitologie hrănită din violență, atâta manipulare prin sloganele belicismului (eroism, patriotism, datorie), atâta orbire și, până la urmă, atâta prostie omenească trebuie să aibă izvoare profunde din moment ce niciodată nimeni nu învață din greșelile trecutului, iar istoria se repetă iar și iar.” (Matei Vișniec)

Death, destruction, vengeance - it's just another Monday for HECUBA - produced by the Conservatory Company of the Pittsburgh Playhouse, directed by Monica Payne. Though an opening monologue by a ghost is a sufficient signal of at least a few torn togas on the horizon, no worries - Euripides, we sew-a dem for you: 'Burgh Vivant contributor Mike "Buzz" Buzzelli and host Brian Edward reminisce about their schooldays in ancient Greece, discuss their first order of business if they were to become ghosts, and talk about the triumph of a tragedy playing at the Studio Theater of the Pittsburgh Playhouse through November 24th. Get "The Full Martini" - the complete interview, unedited in podcast, for more of "the buzz" from Buzzelli!
