The Importance of Being Earnest
The humour, the social satire, the banters, simply brilliant! [06.10.2019, 5 stars]

A Florentine Tragedy
Short play with a shocking twist at the end. [11.10.2019, 3 stars]

Salomé
Didn‘t like it that much. Was exhausting to read because of its old traditional language and style. The story itself okay with another twist at the end. (For people who don‘t know the bible that good as myself). [The setting however fitted as I’m on holiday in Cyprus. 12.10.2019, 2 stars]

Lady Windermere's Fan
Nothing is at it seems in this play which masterfully showcases the unfairness of society in relation to gender/women’s rights. Bittersweet and tragic. [13.10.2019, 5 stars]

A Woman of No Importance
Another brilliant play which showcases masterfully the hypocrite society of the time. There were so many brilliant sentences in it. [29-30.10.2019, 4 stars]

“Men marry because they are tired; women because they are curious. Both are disappointed.”

An Ideal Husband
Read last year during Victober. Review [22-24.10.2018, 4 stars]

Karschtl Do you know the movie with Rupert Everett and Colin Firth? Those two play the stiff English Gentlemen brilliantly!


Nadja I watched it many many years ago. I remember Rupert Everett being in the cast but not Colin Firth. I need to rewatch it


Nadja soon :)
