Classic Plays: Hidden Riches
Step into the extraordinary worlds of Chekhov, Tennessee Williams, and Molière, three of the most influential playwrights in the history of theater.
This new series features intimate, minimally staged readings of four enduring classics: Chekhov’s The Marriage Proposal and The Bear, Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie, and Molière’s Tartuffe.
These plays have lasted for a reason. They are wonderfully entertaining, but they also invite us to see their conflicts, characters, and ideas reflected in our own lives. The great playwrights wrote about what never goes out of fashion: love, family, ambition, power, morality, desire, deception and the wonderfully complicated business of being human.
Written in different eras and cultures, these works continue to feel remarkably alive because they reveal something recognizable about who we are. Presented simply and intimately, Classic Plays: Hidden Riches puts the extraordinary words, characters, humor, and humanity of these legendary playwrights front and center.
Discover the wit of Molière, the humanity and humor of Chekhov, and the emotional power of Tennessee Williams. Come rediscover the extraordinary power and beauty of these works—and why, generations later, they still speak so powerfully to us.
Experience the masters of classical theater and the plays that made them legendary.
