Lecture 1: The Love Course It's the last lecture in the highly successful, innovative and unconventional course of the "Literature of Love". But there's a tension in the classroom which goes well beyond that usual "end-of-thern" feeling. The wife of the one of the lecturers casts her long shadow over the class. Is Literature "just" a reflection of Life - or is Life about the mirror Literature? Or maybe "Love" - though universal - can never be interpreted the same way by both men and by woman and across the generation gap? |

Lecture 2: The Guest Lecturer A
young academic from Ohio has been "seduced" by the idea of giving an
intellectual lecture to a successful small-town theatre society on the
topic of "Drama in America".
He has been prepared copious notes to impress and give deep, thoughtful
insights on the chosen subject to his Audience. There's just one
problem... the Artistic Director, the Chairman of the Board and - most
especially - the Audience are all expecting the lucture to follow a
toally different script! Is it a just big hoax, or a simple
misunderstanding - or is there a sinister and primeval rite about to be
enactes? |
