{"product_id":"exit-the-king-the-killer-macbett-9780802151100","title":"Exit the King, the Killer, Macbett","description":"Exit the King is a highly stylized, ritualized death rite unfolding the final hours of the once-great king Berenger the First. As he dies, his kingdom also dies. His armies suffer defeat, the young emigrate, the seasons change overnight, and his kingdom's borders shrink to the outline of his throne. At last, as the curtain falls, the king himself dissolves into a gray mist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Killer is a study of pure evil. B renger, a conscientious citizen, finds himself in a radiantly beautiful city marred only by the presence of a killer. B renger's determination to find the murderer in the face of official indifference and his final defeat at the hands of an impersonal, pitiless cruelty speak with the universality of Kafka's The Trial. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMacbett, inspired by Shakespeare's play, is \"a grotesque joke . . .  and] a very funny play. . . . Ionecso maliciously undermines sources and traditions, spoofing Shakespeare along with tragedy.\"--Mel Gussow, The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1685730\"\u003eEugene Ionesco\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-579031\"\u003eCharles Marowitz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802151100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802151108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-DRA\"\u003eDrama\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-DRA004000\"\u003eEuropean | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER011000\"\u003eTheater | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarowitz is a celebrated theatre director, critic, and playwright. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWatson is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and professor emeritus of Rensselear Polytechnic Institute.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914570817711,"sku":"9780802151100","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_26bf520a-a0fd-4a72-89fc-396d0e1c1859.jpg?v=1758827260","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/products\/exit-the-king-the-killer-macbett-9780802151100","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
