Set in an elegant English country estate, Arcadia moves back and forth between 1809 and the present as the author explores the nature of truth and time, the difference between classical and romantic temperaments, and the disruptive influence of sex on our life. A witty masterpiece of misunderstanding and the quest for knowledge! 1995 NY Drama Critics' Circle Award -- Best Play.

Les Mis is an epic tale of passion and destruction in 19th century France, a nation in the grip of revolution. Convict Jean Valjean is on the run, hunted relentlessly by the policeman Javert for breaking his parole. With Javert closing in, Valjean has no choice but to fight for his life and sacrifice everything to protect the people he loves.

In 1974 the South Korean government censorship committee refused to grant a license for this play to be performed because it satirized overbearing bureaucrats and warped military thinking. The play features, however, an imaginative blending of farce, allegory, and theatre of the absurd as the author focuses on a young draftee and the unfortunate circumstances of his military service.
