Die Orestie des Dichters Aischylos ist eine Trilogie von Tragödien und das bedeutendste Werk des griechischen Theaters. Die drei Stücke behandeln das Ende einer langen Serie von Gewalt und Rache im Haus des Atreus. Agamemnon hat seine Tochter Iphigenie geopfert. Dafür tötet ihn seine Frau Klytaimestra nach seiner Rückkehr aus dem Trojanischen Krieg. Sie und ihr Geliebter Ägisthos werden dafür ihrerseits vom Sohn Orest getötet. Dieser aber wird dafür nicht mit dem Tod bestraft; vielmehr werden die Rachegeister (Erinnyen) zu Anklägerinnen in einem Gerichtsverfahren.

В 1932 году выдающийся немецкий писатель Лион Фейхтвангер опубликовал роман "Иудейская война", в 1935 году последовал роман "Сыновья", в 1945-м — Настанет день. Вместе они составили трилогию, посвященную жизни римского историка и военачальника иудейского происхождения Иосифа Флавия. Священник первой чреды Иерусалимского храма, патриот и участник иудейского восстания, Иосиф бен Маттафий оказывается перед мучительным выбором: смириться с пленением или принять смерть, перейти на сторону римлян и предать веру отцов или погибнуть.

Story
She tried to dial M for murder, but instead she accidentally dialed L for latch-key… A plotting husband who strongly resembles Ray Milland… A framed wife as elegant as Grace Kelly… An inspector straight out of Monty Python… Hitchcock would be spinning in his grave if he weren’t suiting up for his cameo. Gather round and enjoy this intelligent, witty satire of the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

Argán es prisionero de sí mismo. El terror a la muerte y el miedo a enfrentarse a la vida le tienen encadenado a su propio lecho, nada le importa, ni su familia, ni su mujer; es una persona cegada y egoísta, a la vez víctima y verdugo. Tan solo la astucia de Toñita, la criada, auténtico motor de la acción hará posible un desenlace donde triunfe el amor y queden en evidencia los intereses de las malas personas.

Macbeth is a general for Scotland who has been prophesied to be the future King of Scotland. Rather than wait for this prophecy to take hold of its own accord, and after taking the advice of his power-hungry wife, he murders the current king and takes his place. But it doesn’t take long for tremendous guilt and fear to take hold of him, and turn his reign into one of tyranny and brutality as he and Lady Macbeth commit more and more crimes to avoid the consequences coming for them.

Imagine a 1980s world of sumptuous hotel rooms, restaurants, New York City penthouses, and the powerful men who move easily between these pinnacles of luxury. They are music producers, rock stars, writers, and restaurateurs. They are household names like Billy Joel, Art Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, and Sting. And yet, each man has an entire aspect to his life that he doesn’t talk about publicly—his depression, his rocky marriage, his feelings of shame and failure, his private loss of faith. And now: The phone rings. Imagine the woman who has each of these men at her beck and call.

I had been on his bad side due to several mishaps, but the offer to stay with him until my apartment is repaired was made irresistible by those piercing blue eyes.
