Artist Descending A Staircase 1.2 by Tom Stoppard
Artist Descending A Staircase 2.2
******The play opens with the sound of the artist, Donner, falling down the stairs.
The other two roommates, Martello and Beauchamp, enter and find their 50 year
old friend at the bottom of the staircase. Beauchamp, who is an artist whose focus
is on the sounds of daily life, examines a recording of the sounds of Donner's fall.
The pair decides that a murderer must have awakened Donner from his sleep and
then pushed him down the stairs to his death. Martello and Beauchamp accuse
each other of the crime. The following scenes flash back to several different years
at least 50 years in the past. This part of the play follows the three artists and their
interactions with a blind woman named Sophie. The end of the play returns to the
present. Martello and Beauchamp are unable to solve the mystery,
but Stoppard alerts the audience to the truth.
Knowledge And A Girl by Howard Barker
******This time he gives his unique treatment to the Grimm brothers' tale of Snow White,
focusing on the character of the 'wicked stepmother' –the Queen–who, at the wedding of
Snow White and her Prince, is 'forced to put on the red hot shoes, and dance until she
dropped down dead.' In Barker's treatment of the fairy tale, the Queen is the protagonist,
resisting the patriarchal and misogynistic structure of the court through her profligate sexuality.
Snow White? She tries to outdo her stepmother in carnality. The Seven Dwarves? See what
punishments await them for their abduction of Snow White.

sounds like a marriage of Molière and Woody Allen," writes Newsweek.

******A tender love story, a serpentine villainess, a glittering setting in London society
and a shower of Wildean witticisms are only a few of the reasons this play has enjoyed
hugely successful revivals in London and New York. This 1895 drama also seems
eerily prescient, as it explores the plight of a promising young politician, desperate
to hide a secret in his past. With empathy and wit, Wilde explores the pitfalls of
holding public figures to higher standards than the rest of us.
