No overview available for this season.

Ep. 1: She Stoops to Conquer (1971-08-04)

Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with a potential suitor. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, he's mistaken by his prospective son-in-law Marlow for an innkeeper. Hilarity ensues.
Ep. 2: Peer Gynt (1972-09-26)

The classic tale by Henrik Ibsen; a complete opposite of a hero is banished from his village for his (in)actions. He then travels the world with more or less the same result trying to impress.
Ep. 3: Mrs. Warren's Profession (1972-10-03)

A very proper young woman is horrified to discover not only that her mother once worked as a prostitute in order to support her, but that she later became a whorehouse madam rather than give up the business.
Ep. 4: The Duchess of Malfi (1972-10-10)

The Duchess of Malfi is recently widowed and her greedy brothers are determined she will not marry again, so they employ Daniel De Bosola, a murderer in their pay to spy on her. He fails and most of the cast pay for the brothers' plotting. One of the great revenge tragedies based on a true story, though John Webster, the playwright, probably didn't know this. Who would believe so much mayhem could happen, five hundred years before the Godfather?
Ep. 5: The Shadow of a Gunman (1973-09-25)

The first part of Sean O'Casey's Dublin Trilogy. Set in 1920, as the Irish War of Independence rages, "Shadow of a Gunman" is the story of two young men, Donald Davoren and Seamus Shields, who share a flat in Dublin.
