Eumenides

The final play of the Oresteia, called The Eumenides (Εὐμενίδες, Eumenídes), illustrates how the sequence of events in the trilogy ends up in the development of social order or a proper judicial system in Athenian society. In this play, Orestes is hunted down and tormented by the Furies, a trio of goddesses known to be the instruments of justice, who are also referred to as the 'Gracious Ones' (Eumenides).

However, through the intervention of Apollo, Orestes is able to escape them for a brief moment while they are asleep and head to Athens under the protection of Hermes.

Eugenia Grandet

La storia di Eugénie è ambientata a Saumur, piccolo paesino della campagna francese. Il padre di Eugénie, che in città è conosciuto come papà Grandet, è un vecchio vignaiuolo arricchitosi grazie all'eredità paterna fatta fruttare tramite giusti investimenti finanziari, ha un fiuto infallibile per gli affari e ad una proverbiale avarizia, che suscita in lui un notevole attaccamento all'oro che “sembrava aver comunicato il suo colore al suo viso ”. Nonostante la sua ricchezza, quindi, il padrone di casa fa di tutto per nasconderla, non parlarne e, soprattutto, non spenderla; sua moglie, sua figlia Eugénie e la serva Nanon, scelta per la sua robustezza e possanza fisica, sono quindi costrette a vivere in una casa spoglia e povera. La vita scorre in maniera monotona per moglie e figlia, eccetto per le civettuole visite serali delle famiglie des Grassins e Cruchot, che ambiscono all'eredità del vecchio bottaio tramite la mano di sua figlia. La monotonia si interrompe a casa Grandet quando una sera giunge un elegante e raffinato giovanotto parigino: Charles, cugino di Eugénie. Come avrà subito modo di scoprire papà Grandèt, Charles era stato spedito presso lo zio da suo padre, padrone di un'azienda parigina che stava fallendo e che in seguito si suiciderà per la disperazione. Papà Grandet, più preoccupato per i soldi che dovrà investire per salvare l'onore del fratello che per suo nipote, acconsente ad ospitarlo per pochi giorni in casa sua.

Escape, Volume 2

Escape never received the lavish attention afforded to Suspense but, from July 7, 1947 to September 25, 1954, it managed to transcend its mostly network-sustained origins and provide top-quality entertainment. Occasionally a celebrity would appear in a leading role - Victor Mature, Edmond O'Brien, Vincent Price - but for the most part Escape relied on the tried-and-true veterans of 'Radio Row', outstanding performers like Elliott Lewis, Jeanette Nolan, Jack Webb, Lillian Buyeff, Hans Conried, Vivi Janiss, Harry Bartell and Georgia Ellis, to name just a few. Distinguished veterans like William N. Robson and Norman Macdonnell oversaw the production and direction, and exceptional scripts were provided by the likes of Les Crutchfield, John Dunkel, Gil Doud, E. Jack Neumann and Kathleen Hite. Week in and week out, Escape demonstrated that it was truly an outstanding and memorable show...even if it was lacking that 'Hollywood gloss' that attracted big-money sponsorship.
