"Dramatist: Masters of the Theatrical Craft" From the lyrical verses penned by W. B. Yeats, a Nobel laureate in Literature, to the captivating performances of William Gillette as Sherlock Holmes, dramatists have left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape. Step into the enchanting world of Shakespeare at the grand exhibition held at Earls Court in London, where his timeless works come alive through intricate costumes and elaborate sets. Witness a scene from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, beautifully captured in an engraving depicting Javert, the relentless detective. Arnold Bennett's ingenious storytelling transports us to different realms with every word written while a Shakespeare quotation on a greetings card reminds us of his enduring influence on literature and life itself. Samuel Beckett challenges conventional narratives with his thought-provoking plays that delve deep into existential questions. Meanwhile, Henrik Ibsen takes us back home to Oslo where he masterfully explores societal norms and personal struggles. Leo Tolstoy's Russian novels transport readers across vast landscapes filled with complex characters and profound insights into human nature. And who can forget William Shakespeare himself? His words continue to resonate through time, reminding us of love, tragedy, and everything in between. Jules Verne's visionary tales ignite our imagination as we embark on thrilling adventures alongside extraordinary characters. Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke's contributions to literature during her time are celebrated for their elegance and sophistication.
