All's Well That Ends Well (1607) is a comedy by William Shakespeare. All's Well That Ends Well was likely inspired by the tale of Giletta di Narbona from Boccaccio's Decameron. Unpopular during Shakespeare's lifetime, the play remains one of his least staged works to this day. Despite this, scholars praise All's Well That Ends Well for its moral ambiguity. "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together, our virtues would be proud...

Pese a estar catalogada como una película de ciencia-ficción, "Blade Runner" -obra maestra que se ha convertido merecidamente en un icono cultural de nuestro tiempo- tiene poco que ver con las utopías futuristas propias del género, al contrario, plantea problemas eternos -la vida y la muerte, el fatídico discurrir del tiempo, la rebelión contra nuestro infausto destino, la extrañeza ante el otro- protagonizados por hombres que habitan en el...

Masada Revisited III gives a different view of what happened at Masada in 73 ce when the Jewish defenders, according to the only historical account, given by the historian Josephus in his book The Jewish War, essentially committed mass suicide. Many Jewish people are disconcerted by this. Since Josephus wrote under the constraint of trying to please the Romans, his accuracy is suspect. The version given in this play is hopefully more palatable.
