9/22/13 Differences between Men and Women For centuries‚ the differences between men and women were socially defined through a lens of sexism‚ in which men assumed to be superior over women. The vision of equality between the sexes has narrowed the possibilities for discovery of what truly exists within a man and women. The world would be less interesting when everything is the same.

The Beaux Stratagem is a comedy by George Farquhar. This play was first produced at the Queen’s Theatre‚ now the site of her Majesty’s Theatre in London‚ in March 1707.

I think a book as detailed and filled with dialogue and emotion as this one‚ needs to not only be read or heard‚ but seen as well. There are always certain expectations when books are turned

all it takes is a glance – you can change an opinion‚ an attitude‚ or a life. How else better for projecting that glance to thousands than through theatre? I have struggled to answer this question‚ now‚ for nearly two months: What is theatre for? Only recently did I realise that the reason for this struggle was a lack of understanding; theatre does not have one specific function.

SHAKESPEARE’S THEATRE AND AUDIENCE. Why should we concern ourselves with Shakespeare’s theatre and audience? The vast majority of his readers since the Restoration have known nothing about them‚ and have enjoyed his plays enormously. And if they have enjoyed without fully understanding‚ it was for want of imagination and of knowledge of human nature‚ and not from ignorance of the conditions under which his plays were produced. At any rate‚ such ignorance does not exclude us from the soul of Shakespearean
