¿Qué pasaría si todo lo que creías saber sobre la vida y obra de Jesús estuviera equivocado?Reír de reyes es una obra de teatro que invierte por completo los contenidos y los personajes del Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento. En cuatro actos, se relatan los primeros siete dias del reinado mesianico de Jesus en la tierra de Israel despues de la expulsion violenta de los romanos. Con un humor irreverente muy presente, encontramos la mayoria de los recursos de la comedia: la risa, la burla, el grotesco, la caricatura, el ridiculo, el sarcasmo, el chiste, la ironia, la satira y la parodia, con elementos psicoanaliticos. Esto se plantea desde su titulo: Reir de reyes es una caricaturizacion de la pelicula Rey de reyes del año 1961.Esta obra, en definitiva, desafia nuestras expectativas y nos invita a reflexionar sobre el sentido de la mision de Jesus como salvador.

Nora vive con su esposo, Torvaldo Helmer, y sus tres hijos felizmente sin ninguna preocupación. Además, Trovaldo asumirá en el año nuevo el puesto de director de un banco. Todo parece perfecto, pero Nora guarda un profundo secreto que le confiesa su amiga Linde. Años atras, su esposo estaba a punto de morir, necesitaba cambiar de clima, pero les era economicamente imposible pagar un viaje. En ese entonces, Nora le hizo creer a Torvaldo, quien ignoraba su propia enfermedad, que su agonizante padre les habia dado el dinero, pero en realidad, lo habia tomado prestado de Krogstad, el procurador, falsificando la firma de su padre muerto. Este es el comienzo de un intenso drama que refleja el rol de la mujer en la sociedad de ese entonces, trata temas como el honor, el chantaje, el amor, la realizacion individual, y provee una fuerte critica a las normas matrimoniales del siglo XIX.

"La gloria engendra crímenes abominables cuando, para alcanzar el renombre y conseguir el elogio, cosas bien vanas, nuestro corazón realiza esfuerzos imposibles.""Trabajos de amor perdido" es una de las primeras comedias escritas por William Shakespeare a finales del siglo XVI. Esta obra es considerada una de las comedias mas poeticas y extravagantes del autor, a causa de su uso altamente preciso e intelectual del lenguaje, sus referencias literarias y su estilo. "Trabajos de amor perdido" cuenta la historia de Fernando, rey de Navarra, y tres de sus caballeros, Berowne, Longaville y Dumaines. La obra empieza cuando los cuatro hombres juran aislarse del mundo durante tres años para centrarse en sus estudios y alcanzar una mayor sabiduria. El juramento incluye no tener contacto con mujeres, hecho que se vuelve totalmente muy dificil de navegar cuando la princesa de Francia y sus damas visitan al rey.Aunque la princesa y las damas se alojan fuera del castillo, el rey y los caballeros acaban reuniendose con ellas, y en cuestion de segundos acaban perdidamente enamorados de las damas. En ese momento, se inicia un sutil cortejo a traves de cartas que al llegar a su destinacion son recibidas con enorme burla a causa de su estilo pedante, lo que producira una enorme tristeza en los caballeros.A traves de multiples bromas que llevaran a un sinfin de malentendidos, las damas ponen a prueba el amor de los caballeros hasta el punto de no creerse que su amor es real, y que todo es un simple entretenimiento. "Trabajos de amor perdido" fue adaptada a la gran pantalla en 2000 por Kenneth Branagh, quien situo la historia en 1930 en vez del siglo XVI para hacerla mas accesible a la audiencia.

"Los dos hidalgos de Verona" es una de las obras menos conocidas de William Shakespeare, y hay indicios de que nunca fue representada mientras el autor vivió. "JULIA- Sus palabras son cadenas; sus juramento, oraculos; su amor, sincero; sus pensamientos, puros; sus lagrimas, interpretes verdaderos de su alma. Su corazon dista de la perfidia como la tierra del cielo.LUCIA-Ojala le halleis asi al llegar a su lado.No hay placer en la tierra comparable a la dicha de servir al Amor."Esta comedia, publicada por primera vez en 1623, aunque hay indicios de que fue escrita alrededor de 1590, cuenta la historia de dos amigos pertenecientes a la clase noble de Verona. Valentino abandona Verona y a su amigo Proteus en un viaje hacia Milan y la madurez. Poco despues, Proteus se acaba uniendo a Valentino en Milan con la esperanza de madurar y volverse un hombre de provecho, cuando se da cuenta de que Valentino se ha enamorado de la hija del duque de Milan, igual que el. Entre triangulos amorosos y el dia a dia de la nobleza italiana, los dos jovenes se veran envueltos en multiples problemas de corazon que acabaran haciendoles cuestionar su amistad. "Los dos hidalgos de Verona" gira entorno el debate entre la amistad y el amor, propio de la epoca del Renacimiento. La cultura de esa epoca suele mostrar un claro interes moral por la amistad antes que por el amor en base a la creencia que el amor entre amistades es mas puro, ya que deja a un lado el deseo carnal.

An Ideal Husband is an 1895 comedic stage play by Oscar Wilde which revolves around blackmail and political corruption, and touches on the themes of public and private honour. The action is set in London, in "the present", and takes place over the course of twenty-four hours. "Sooner or later," Wilde notes, "we shall all have to pay for what we do." But he adds that, "No one should be entirely judged by their past." Together with The Importance of Being Earnest, it is often considered Wildes dramatic masterpiece.After Earnest, it is his most popularly produced play. In the summer of 1893, Oscar Wilde began writing An Ideal Husband, and he completed it later that winter. His work began at Goring-on-Thames, after which he named the character Lord Goring, and concluded at St. James Place. He initially sent the completed play to the Garrick Theatre, where the manager rejected it, but it was soon accepted by the Haymarket Theatre, where Lewis Waller had temporarily taken control. Waller was an excellent actor and cast himself as Sir Robert Chiltern.The play gave the Haymarket the success it desperately needed. After opening on 3 January 1895, it continued for 124 performances.

Much Ado About Nothing, comedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, written probably in 159899 and printed in a quarto edition from the authors own manuscript in 1600. The play takes an ancient themethat of a woman falsely accused of unfaithfulnessto brilliant comedic heights. Shakespeare used as his main source for the Claudio-Hero plot a story from Matteo Bandellos Novelle (155473); he also may have consulted Ludovico Ariostos Orlando furioso and Edmund Spensers The Faerie Queene. The Beatrice-Benedick plot is essentially Shakespeares own, though he must have had in mind his own story of wife taming in The Taming of the Shrew.Leonato, a kindly, respectable nobleman, lives in the idyllic Italian town of Messina. Leonato shares his house with his lovely young daughter, Hero, his playful, clever niece, Beatrice, and his elderly brother, Antonio (who is Beatrices father). As the play begins, Leonato prepares to welcome some friends home from a war. The friends include Don Pedro, a prince who is a close friend of Leonato, and two fellow soldiers: Claudio, a well-respected young nobleman, and Benedick, a clever man who constantly makes witty jokes.
