The Dispute (Plays for Performance)

Rating:
Summary: sensational
Review: If you're seeking the definitive Marivaux in English, look no further. This rendition is smart, sexy, contemporary, yet utterly faithful to the spirit of 18th c Paris. Worth every cent.

Summary: One of the more gems forgotten
Review: Marivaux's comedy, The Dispute, is one of those wonderful classics which somehow got lost over time. It is as witty as any Oscar Wilde play and is fertile ground for duologues, perfect for scene auditions. Because of its relatively unknown status, The Dispute makes for a even better choice for a classical piece to present as it is a refreshing break away from overdone Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde plays.

Summary: Genius!
Review: Truly one of the great English-language translations of Marivaux. The play seems clear, fresh, dangerous, and hilarious -- perhaps for the first time in English. My only regret is that I didn't see Anne Bogart's production, which sounds extraordinary. More please!
