Theatre

William Somerset Maugham is one of the most outstanding English writers of the early 20th century, who gave the world many plays, essays and novels. "The Theatre" is the life of an actress with her ups and downs, love affairs and everyday work. A coherent plot, clear phrases, simplicity and at the same time beauty of language - this is what distinguishes Maugham from many short story writers of that time, and what makes the reader close the book only once - on the last page. The book is an unadapted text for reading. It is intended for senior students of language schools, universities, foreign language courses and independent reading. The texts are provided with tasks for understanding, notes and a dictionary.
