The Lehman Trilogy
The novel in verse that inspired the sensational West End and Off-Broadway play, The Lehman Trilogy is the story of a family and a company that changed the world.
The Book of Nonexistent Words
"How many times have words not been enough? How many complex feelings don't have a corresponding noun that properly describes them in the dictionary? How many times has a language left us like an archer without arrows in the labyrinth of our emotions? Award winning author Stefano Massini found himself feeling this way too often. With great surprise, he began to feel that the ancient rules of language were not a flowing palette of colors he could use to paint all things, but instead a limiting force robbing him of the freedom of expression. So, he returned to the wondrous mechanism that has fed our dictionaries from time immemorial. If a word was missing, he created one. Every chapter mention...
The Lehman Trilogy
Magnificent in scope, internationally lauded, and transcendent, the novel in verse that inspired the sensational West End and Off-Broadway play of the same name. The Lehman Trilogy follows the epic rise and fall of three generations of that infamous family and through them tells the story of American ambition and hubris. After leaving his native Bavaria, Henry Lehman arrives in America determined to make a better life. Sensing opportunity in the Deep South, he opens a textile shop in Alabama, laying the foundation for a dynasty that will come to dominate and define modern capitalism. Emanuel and his brother Mayer begin investing in anything and everything that will turn a profit, from cotton...
Il teatro di Stefano Massini
In poco più di vent’anni, Stefano Massini ha prodotto e continua ad oggi, a produrre una singolare quantità di testi drammatici, riscritture e adattamenti teatrali che propone personalmente o attraverso la firma di regie nazionali e internazionali. La presente pubblicazione è una indagine attraverso questo primo identificato corpus; una preventiva analisi strutturale che vuole offrire uno sguardo non tanto tassonomico quanto esemplificativo e strumentale di una modalità drammaturgica che si è spinta bel oltre i confini continentali. Forma, poetica e stile i tre macro-approcci attraverso cui si muove lo scandaglio di questa caccia al “punto di fuga” di una scrittura teatrale in cui complessità e semplicità rappresentano una istanza univoca e necessaria; una drammaturgia eterogenea e vasta di cui – linearmente – si è qui tentato di mettere in luce dinamica espressiva e funzionamento narrativo.

Lady's football Club
Comment est né le football féminin en Angleterre ? Par ce hasard qui ne fait jamais rien au hasard. Le 6 avril 1917, à la pause déjeuner de l’usine de munitions Doyle & Walkers, à Sheffield, Royaume-Uni, Violet Chapman, ouvrière, prise d’une inspiration subite, donne un coup de pied dans l’espèce de balle qui se trouve au milieu de la cour en brique rouge de 330 pieds de long par 240 pieds de largeur. Aussitôt, les dix autres femmes présentes lâchent leurs casse-croûtes et sautent du muret où elles étaient assises en rang d’oignons pour se mettre à courir elles aussi. Ce simple coup de pied aurait pu les tuer. Car la balle est un prototype de bombe légère destinée à...
Manhattan Project
Come già Lehman Trilogy, anche Manhattan Project è una ballata fluviale che racconta una storia americana con radici in Europa e conseguenze globali. Strutturata in quattro parti fitte di echi biblici (Libro dei Patriarchi, Libro dei Re, Libro dei Profeti e Libro dei Sacerdoti), anche Manhattan Project ci porta fra gli ebrei espatriati oltreoceano, con i loro riti e costumi che affondano nella cultura yiddish, con le loro idee, le ossessioni, i tic linguistici, lo humour. Il testo inizia in un seminterrato in cui il cosiddetto «Clan degli Ungheresi» intuí potenzialità e rischi di un uso militare della reazione a catena. Passando per l'apporto del potente finanziere Alexander Sachs, l'e...
New Paths in Theatre Translation and Surtitling
This collection provides an in-depth exploration of surtitling for theatre and its potential in enhancing accessibility and creativity in both the production and reception of theatrical performances. The volume collects the latest research on surtitling, which encompasses translating lyrics or sections of dialogue and projecting them on a screen. While most work has focused on opera, this book showcases how it has increasingly played a role in theatre by examining examples from well-known festivals and performances. The 11 chapters underscore how the hybrid nature and complex semiotic modes of theatrical texts, coupled with technological advancements, offer a plurality of possibilities for a...
The Lehman Trilogy
On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers, and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish - Lehman Brothers - spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history, this epic theatrical event charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees. The Lehman Trilogy is the quintessential story of western capitalism, rendered through the lens of a single immigrant family. Note: Nick Powell's original music from the Broadway and West End productions (which is available for streaming on music platforms) is not approved or licensed by Concord Theatricals for use in performance.
