Produktbeschreibung
Karl Hendryk is a brilliant professor who, with his wife and her cousin, has fled persecution in his homeland and finds himself ensconced in London. The play concerns itself with the relationships the professor has with the women in his life. His wife, Anya, who is suffering from a progressively debilitating disease, her cousin and carer, Lisa, and Helen Rollander, a spoiled student who takes up private lessons with the professor. Not a murder mystery or a whodunnit but a profound and thoughtful piece that deals with the human experience. Delving deeply into the psychology of relationships and moral philosophy, this is the story of a misguided idealist who loves so intensely it becomes ultimately destructive and unattainable.
Autorenporträt
English author Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, DBE (née Miller; 15 September 1890-12 January 1976) wrote 66 detective novels and 14 collections of short stories, many of which featured the fictitious investigators Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Additionally, she published six books under the name Mary Westmacott. On September 15, 1890, Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in Torquay, Devon, into a prosperous upper-middle-class family. Her parents were Frederick Alvah Miller and Clarissa Margaret "Clara" Miller, née Boehmer. Christie has always been a keen reader. At the age of 10, she created her first poem, "The Cow Slip." Her mother took her to Paris in 1905, where she attended several boarding schools that emphasized piano and vocal instruction. At the age of 16, Christina Christie traveled to Egypt with her mother Clara, and began penning her first short stories. Writing "The House of Beauty" and other short pieces on "madness and dreams," she was inspired by her experiences in Cairo. Agatha accepted Archie's marriage proposal and they were married on Christmas Eve 1914 at Emmanuel Church in Clifton, Bristol. Archie demanded a divorce from Agatha in August 1926. At the age of 85, Christina Christie died on January 12th, 1976. She was buried in a plot that she and her husband had chosen ten years before.
