This collection of three of Henrik Ibsen's most well-known and important plays is voiced by a sparkling cast and features music, SFX and a full soundscape. Born in 1828, Norwegian playwright, theatre director and poet Ibsen, wrote in Danish yet lived for many years in Italy and Germany. Heralded as one the most distinguished dramatists after Shakespeare, by the early 20th century A Doll's House became the world's most performed play.

Antigone stood defiant in the face of tyranny. Best-selling and award winning author Colm Tóibín wrote this new dramatisation of the Greek tragedy especially to be performed by Irish actor Lisa Dwan. Pale Sister gives voice to Antigone’s sister, Ismene, who recounts her sister’s defiance of the king as pressures mount on her to act to vindicate her sister, or even follow her example. Pale Sister tells Antigone’s story through Ismene: the quiet person in the corner, bearing witness to everything.

Drunk, dazed, disoriented, and stumbling down Clifton Street at 11:30 a.m., Effie is the kind of girl you’d likely avoid eye contact with while silently labeling a drifter or a delinquent. You’d probably pass judgment, assuming you know her - but you don’t know the half of it. As Effie’s life spirals through a mess of excess, drama, and addiction plaguing her at every turn, she has nothing to look forward to but a hangover worse than death itself each morning. Until one night gives her the chance to become something more.  

"Alors que vous êtes pépère dans le métro à écouter de la musique, vous sentez une présence - quelque chose ou quelqu'un - vous épier. Vous n'osez pas vous retourner, car vous avez vu suffisamment de films qui collent les miquettes pour savoir que dès qu'on se retourne, on risque d'avoir très mal. Par chance, cette crise de paranoïa ne durera qu'un temps : le temps pour le musicien de métro de passer près de vous, et de vous offrir sa version, toute personnelle, du "Temps des fleurs".

Friedrich Schillers "Die Räuber" - REMIXED. More Drama, Baby! Schillers "Die Räuber" in völlig neuem Gewand - eingesprochen von Bandmitgliedern von Jupiter Jones, Knorkator, Ohrbooten, Der Fall Böse, Beatsteaks, Gleis 8 sowie Celina Bostic und Friedrich Liechtenstein. Als Schillers "Die Räuber" 1782 uraufgeführt wurde, verursachte es tumultartige Zustände im Theater. Das revolutionäre Drama bewirkte einen handfesten Skandal. Seitdem ist tonnenweise Kunstblut auf deutschen Bühnen geflossen und hunderte Bühnentode wurden gestorben. Bis heute ist Schillers Stück dank seines zeitlosen Kerns ein Klassiker.

Coucou c'est nous qui redéboulons les amis ! Entre deux roulades, voici un tout nouveau numéro d'Hernanani ! Hernanani n'étant pas une hernananiche, nous ne craignons pas d'aborder dans cet épisode les grandes questions, ni même les thèmes "bateau". C'est pourquoi on vous propose un grand écart sur le roman d'apprentissage. Car le roman d'apprentissage, c'est bien plus compliqué que ce qu'on nous en dit au lycée. Big up le Bac de Français les amis ! En avant Milou !

"Tchou-tchou !" faisait le petit train en sinuant parmi les vallées de notre beau pays. Aujourd'hui, propulsé par l'électricité, il ne fait plus de fumée, ni plus aucun bruit... Il fonce et nous n'apercevons plus qu'à peine son beau fuselage chromé. Où es-tu, petit train ? Les écrivains te pleurent dans leurs livres, les écrivains t'admirent, les écrivains t'aiment. Petit train, ta machine superbe nous ouvre les yeux sur le monde avec un maximum de confort. Petit train, tu es notre porte sur l'inconnu. Petit train, dis-nous qui tu es !

"Qu'est-ce que je vais faire de tout cet oseille ?" disait le poète. Et la question mérite d'être posée, en effet. Elle le mérite tellement que nombre d'écrivains l'ont posée au fil des siècles.

Écoutez cet épisode d'Hernanani, lisez les romans mentionnés, voyez ce que les écrivains vous conseillent, prenez-en de la graine, ne devenez pas fou, et vous serez le roi respecté de la ville (sans passer par la case prison) !
