- anti-sentimental comedy in a corporate setting in a corporate setting, Loosely based on Shakespeare - "Measure for Measure is the only Shakespeare play set in Vienna. Duke Vincentio, whose name does not strike one as typically Austrian, has been ruling over Vienna for 14 years. Suddenly, he dons a disguise and mingles with the masses. One of the reasons informing this decision is the deterioration in Viennese public morals, which is definitely something that needs to change. Vincentio entrusts this thankless task (temporarily along with the responsibility of governance) to Angelo. Angelo delves into his work and closes brothels, also sentencing to death a boy named Claudio, who impregnated his love Julietta out of wedlock."

King Lear, after Shakespeare - "It's not easy being the middle sister. Especially so if one's mother is dead and one's father is none other than Lear, King of Britain. A good husband, however, can do a lot to improve the situation. "One blow of our sword against Gloster, one against your dad, one against the rebels - and all the uncertainty is gone."

III. Richard ; after Shakespeare - "I am determined to prove a villain" - one of the rarest lines uttered around the globe, a nigh unprecedented confession. Richard III was the one who dared say it. And he, too, acknowledged it only to himself. These days we are surrounded by do-gooders. At the same time, the Glosters (Richard III by his surname) of today have to face up to reality that they may run into greater players than themselves. And the greater player may even prove to be a woman, for that matter.
