Marriage is
sacred. Love is hell-bent.
The merchant Baptista
has two daughters, and decrees that Bianca--the younger and fairer
of the two--cannot be married before her strong-willed sister,
Katherina. The student Lucentio falls hard for Bianca, and convinces
his friend Petruchio to woo the shrew and get her out of the
way. Kate will have none of it. The battle of wits has begun.

When love destroys,
cities will fall.
In his dynamic
re-telling of Virgil's classic, The Aeneid, Marlowe spins
a story of temptations featuring his sole female protagonist.
Dido, the ruthless warrior princess, would lead her country to
prosperity until scheming Cupid intervenes. Her resulting fanatical
love for Aeneas and the anguish his betrayal conceives can only
end in death and destruction. This passionate mythological tale
begins with the fall of Troy and finishes in epic bloodshed.

Nothing to be done.
Vladimir and Estragon
fill their days as painlessly as they can. They wait for Godot,
who will explain their lives or put an end to them. A brutal
man of means comes by, leading a weakling slave who does his
bidding like a mechanical doll. They talk. Godot fails to arrive.
Every day a child comes from the unknown Godot, and evasively
puts the big arrival off until tomorrow.
