Product description

Nora is the perfect wife and mother. She is dutiful, beautiful and everything is always in its right place. But when a secret from her past comes back to haunt her, her life rapidly unravels. Over the course of three days, Nora must fight to protect herself and her family or risk losing everything.Henrik Ibsen's brutal portrayal of womanhood caused outrage when it was first performed in 1879. This bold new version by Stef Smith reframes the drama in three different time periods. The fight for women's suffrage, the Swinging Sixties and the modern day intertwine in this urgent, poetic play that asks how far have we really come in the past hundred years?Nora : A Doll's House was first produced by the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in 2019, at Tramway, Glasgow.

Was passiert, wenn ein 78-jähriger Mann nach dem Tode seiner Frau nicht mehr leben möchte? Der Mann ist weder krank noch depressiv, sondern einfach lebensmüde - er hat keine Freude mehr an seinem Leben.
Soll ein Arzt ihm dabei helfen und ihm ein Medikament, das ihn tötet, verschreiben? Oder soll der Arzt das ablehnen und damit riskieren, dass der Mann vom Balkon springt? Dieses birgt wiederum die Gefahr, dass der Suizid misslingt und der Patient paralysiert zurückbleibt.
Darf man selbst über sein Leben bestimmen?

GOTT
Ferdinand von Schirach
Ein Theaterstück

Der Ethikrat kommt zusammen und soll klären, ob Herr Gärtner mithilfe seiner Ärztin Suizid begehen darf.
Anwesend ist die Ärztin des Betroffenen, sein Rechtsanwalt, eine Rechtssachverständige sowie ein medizinischer und ein theologischer Sachverständiger.
Argumente dafür und dagegen werden aufgeführt, am Ende soll das Publikum entscheiden, ob Herr Gärtner das Medikament bekommt oder nicht.

Wie immer lässt Ferdinand von Schirach mich zum Fähnchen im Wind werden. In dem einen Moment denke ich: Na klar darf er über sein Leben entscheiden! Doch in der nächsten Sekunde kippe ich schon wieder um, genau in dem Moment, wo eine Frau sterben will, weil sie vor sechs Jahren, mit 25, bei einem Unfall ein Kind totgefahren hat. Sie konnte nichts dafür. Alle haben mir verziehen, aber ich selbst kann mir nicht verzeihen. (S. 106) Nein, natürlich darf diese Frau sich nicht umbringen!
Ferdinand von Schirach ist ein Meister der Erzählkunst, man wird in die Geschichte eingesogen und kann sich dem sensiblen und hochemotionalen Thema nicht entziehen.
Ein wunderbares Buch zum Diskutieren, hervorragend auch für die Oberstufe im Ethikunterricht geeignet.
Ein schmales Buch, das schnell gelesen ist und lange nachwirken wird.

Am Ende bleibt die Frage: Darf man Gott spielen?
5/ 5
Jane Austen is a writer ruined by TV adaptation (before you all start writing letters, I know there are good ones). Despite two centuries of inclusion in the canon, there are still many (and I am afraid they are mostly men) who dismiss her as 'frivolous', 'saccharine' or 'unserious'. This means it is only worth continuing to discuss Austen with people if they either don't use any of the aforementioned adjectives or if, by the latter, they mean, she is one of the funniest writers in English (full stop). If you don't know this already, the first page of 'Persuasion' will convince you, and then her biting, satirical commentary on Georgian society will show you that far from reverently writing about it out of admiration, she irreverently lambasts it and its eccentric snobbish hierarchy (people who write her off will probably say John Oliver likes Trump because both wear suits). If you don't believe me (and even if you do), read her (and start with 'Persuasion') before you watch her.

Author

Born in Norway in 1828, Ibsen began his writing career with romantic history plays influenced by Shakespeare and Schiller. In 1851 he was appointed writer-in-residence at the newly established Norwegian Theatre in Bergen with a contract to write a play a year for five years, following which he was made Artistic Director of the Norwegian Theatre in what is now Oslo. In the 1860s he moved abroad to concentrate wholly on writing. He began with two mighty verse dramas, Brand and Peer Gynt, and in the 1870s and 1880s wrote the sequence of realistic 'problem' plays for which he is best known, among them A Doll's House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, Hedda Gabler and Rosmersholm. His last four plays, The Master Builder, Little Eyolf, John Gabriel Borkman and When We Dead Awaken, dating from his return to Norway in the 1890s, are increasingly overlaid with symbolism. Illness forced him to retire in 1900, and he died in 1906 after a series of crippling strokes.
