William Shakespeare is unquestionably the greatest dramatist of the past millennium, yet many people fear trying to read one of his plays because of lines such as “To see it tetchy and fall out wi’ th’ dug.” Who except a scholar can readily read language like this? But now, in this book, students and general readers can read Shakespeare freely, without pain, without (on most pages) footnotes. The verse remains iambic pentameter, the language remains 90% Shakespeare’s; only enough words have been changed to carry the meaning to today’s reader. Finally students can see for themselves the plots, the characters, the ideas, and even (in almost every case) the language that has made Shakespeare the most important playwright in the history of English.

In Reports From The Dark Side, Sherlock Holmes is confronted by the most diabolical foe he has ever faced, and no one has any idea who he or she is or even that monstrous crimes have been committed. The mastermind of the undetected crime wave is the one who reveals the nature of the crimes, throwing a gauntlet before the startled Holmes. The revelations are not a confession, but the announcement of a planned crime that will rock the British Empire.

Traditional British farce which centers around Robert Marshall, a man who's life unravels on the morning of the funeral of his auntie Roberta, when he learns she's won the lottery. In order to collect the money, he must pretend to be his aunt. He tries to pull it off with the help of his girlfriend and his best friend, but to be successful they must dodge the taxman, the lottery official, the police, a jealous boyfriend, and the news media, as well as an overly helpful vicar. "Bob's Your Auntie is deliciously politically incorrect....Amo shows flashes of brilliance in his writing."

"An Evening Of Reflection, Sorrow, And Mirth" offers three one act plays that are sure to entertain as well as make one laugh, cry, and think. The Last Deal imagines the final days of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II. Since the Revolution, rumors have abounded that one of the Tsar’s children survived the execution of the Romanov family. This play provides a look at what circumstances could have allowed one of the children to live through this horrible event. Nicholas is given an option that one life shall be spared. Be it his own, his wife, or one of his children. But only one. Nicholas spends his harrowing last night trying to decide who it shall be. The other two plays of the collection are equally thought provoking. A Proud Man Stands Alone portrays a pride full man who is brought to ruin by his own faults, while The Maiden And The Scoundrel is an Oscar Wilde inspired farce about a man of virtue, and one of vice who come to conflict over a young maiden.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MEETS ROBIN HOOD! At last the classic tale of Robin Hood gets the telling it deserves: in the high Shakespearean style of Elizabethan drama. Here is England's greatest legend as England's greatest poet might have imagined it. The critics were convinced at the play's Chicago premiere: "Pursuing persuasive parallels, the author forges links between plucky Robin and rowdy Prince Hal, between rotund Friar Tuck and rascally Falstaff, between intrepid Rosalind and a resourceful Maid Marian" (Chicago Tribune). "Robyn Hood keeps you on your mental toes to follow the intricacies and delights of a Shakespearean script you've never heard before-an almost unimaginable experience for Bardophiles" (Plays International). After 400 years, the play that was meant to be has finally arrived. It's Shakespeare's style and Robin Hood's story together at last!

Lance Lee’s plays explore the moral dilemmas we face creating lives of coherence and value today with a poetic intensity that transforms theatrical practice. In Time’s Up a man and a woman treat the audience as their marriage counselors as they face the world nakedly. The last ‘fox’ turns the tables on a sex queen ‘huntress’ and her slavish ‘hound’ to survive as an individual in Fox, Hound, and Huntress. A thinker commits suicide in Gambits, while a veteran fire fighter confronts the same millennial emptiness saving anything that comes his way, including the man’s young wife from a murder charge. Rasputin is a Socratic demi-urge whose drive for self realization destroys Russia and opens the door to the greatest modern disaster, in Rasputin. Some of these started at the Eugene O’Neill Memorial Theatre National Playwrights Conference or through support from the Rockefeller Foundation through the Office for Advanced Drama Research: both Fox, Hound and Huntress and Time’s Up are included here from earlier publications.
