A collection of 6 short plays, written by famous playwrights in the hundred years between 1885 and 1985 which include Anton Chekhov, Noel Coward, Harold Pinter, Neil Simon and Tom Stoppard among others.
The pieces that will be showcased vary in their genre and formats to provide for a complete classical experience. Anton Chekov's 'On the harmfulness of tobacco' deals with a hen-pecked husband who delivers a lecture (at the request of his wife) on the evils of smoking, and Harold Pinter's disturbing 'One for the road', traces a torturer's investigation of a victimized family. To add to the drama, Noel Coward's 'Still Life' contrasts a serious and secretive upper class with the boisterous and uncomplicated love affairs of the lower classes while Neil Simon's 'Seduction' boasts of seduction of other men's wives. A touch of the bizarre is provided by Tom Stoppard's 'A Separate Peace' which insists on a man trying to check into a hospital to stay, while George Kauffman's 'Still Alarm' doesn't let guests react to a fire in their hotel.
