Perhaps no other city has been spoken of as often or as
passionately as Jerusalem. This book brings together the
kaleidoscopic impressions and perspectives of a representative
group of those who have responded to the wonder of the Holy City
from the biblical period to the present: Jews, Christians, and
Muslims; pilgrims as well as sceptics, travellers, conquerors,
scholars, and statesmen. The work gives expression to the
discordant notes of contrasting perspectives about the meaning of
Jerusalem. At the same time, it reflects the citys unique
distinction as the embodiment of mankinds highest ethical and
spiritual aspirations.
From Aristophanes to Zeffirelli, from Gerard Depardieu to Mae West,
in Break a Leg! Michele Brown has assembled a world-beating cast,
including actors, dramatists, directors and even critics (`A man
who knows the way but cannot drive the car.' Kenneth Tynan). She
draws on plays, books, newspapers and table-talk and her collection
of wise and witty lines includes the familiar and the completely
unexpected. This is a work where Sarah Bernhardt is playing
opposite Kenneth Branagh. Orson Welles is sharing the limelight
with Samuel Beckett, Aphra Behn and Noel Coward, and the themes
range from stage fright to star quality.
