Shakespeare in Kabul chronicles a remarkable production of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labor’s Lost that was staged in the Dari language in Afghanistan in 2005 and 2006. It provides a glimpse into the rich cultural life of Afghanistan as it describes the challenges faced by the actors on and off stage, the response they stirred, and the tragic consequences that followed for one of them. Authors Stephen Landrigan and Qais Akbar Omar, who were a part of the production, discuss their experience.

Based on a true story, "Vénus Noire" tells the story of a woman turned into a freak show by those who imagined themselves her superiors. Sarah "Saartjie" Baartma is the slave of a Dutch colonizer in 19th century South Africa and is brought to Europe to become a sideshow attraction in the character of the "The Hottentot Venus."
