Story
Fresh off the success of her groundbreaking first play, A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window tells the tragicomic story of a young bohemian couple in New York's Greenwich Village, struggling to do what's right in a world that rewards everything that's wrong. Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

Story
The Death of Shakespeare is a novel of historical fiction that imagines how the plays attributed to William Shakespeare were written by Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, with occasional help from the Bard himself. William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon appeared in London in 1590 at the age of 26 and is believed by many to have begun writing the greatest plays the world has ever seen. There is no record of his education, if he had any.

Story
Élisée Poème grave des vers sur le banc public où il passe ses journées, devant la gare de Bordeaux. Les poches de son manteau sont pleines de petits morceaux de nappes en papier où il écrit les mots de ses poètes préférés. Aucun des autres personnages de cette pièce ne restera indifférent à cet homme bienveillant que la tragédie de la vie n'aura pas épargné. Mais la poésie est un enchantement et son manteau est tout simplement magique... L'interprétation de cette pièce met en valeur toute sa fantaisie et sa poésie.

Story
Joe Moore is feeling under the weather. He isn't sick. He’s just worried about his grandson's recent diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumor. As if that isn't enough, a tall, skinny man suddenly appears under the old oak tree at the end of his street. The man doesn't talk to anybody and he acts as if he's invisible to everyone around him. He sticks out though. On Doreen Street, a jagged white man who walks in twisty, jerky motions definitely sticks out.
