Salome tells the Biblical story of Salome, stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias, requests the head of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the Dance of the Seven Veils. A powerful tragedy, Wilde at his best.

2011 Reprint of 1899 Edition. "The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People" was first performed on 14 February 1895 at St. James's Theatre in London. It is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personae in order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satirical treatment of Victorian manners and customs. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make it Wilde's most enduringly popular play.

Sandra O'Shea shows up to school early to beat the crowd and see the science exhibits before the crowd shows up. Three wild girls Audrey Karos (the mayor's daughter), Brenda McMillan and Jane Talley enter the gym putting their hands on the exhibits and banging into tables. Sandra gets worried and tells them to grow up. The three bullies beat Sandra up and throw her into a closet. It isn't much longer before Sandra learns to defend herself and stars in the boxing ring. This is the story of Sandra's fight for freedom. Sandra's freedom from bullies is attained from a series of fistfights; however her freedom from depression doesn't end until her late forties.

Sandra: Why don't the three of you grow the hell up

Audrey: Why don't you make me tater tot.

Brenda: Lookout, Sandy is getting hot.

Jane: Yeah, she might kick our a**es.

Sandra: Go to hell and get away from those projects.

Audrey: Move back, I want to break the project in front of you.

Sandra: No, I got here first and I'm looking at it.

Audrey: We'll kick your a** b*tch.

Sandra: No you won't.

Audrey: Let's kick her a** girls. (They beat Sandra up badly giving her a black eye, bloody nose, bloody mouth, and a bad bruise from a kick in the chest.) The three girls throw Sandra into the closet banging on it and calling her closet girl and nerd and tell her not to come out until they leave. The school nurse calls Sandra's parents to pick her up and take her home. When she gets home, Sandra asks her parents Dr. John O'Shea and Sherrie O'Shea if she can take up self defense.

A cautionary tale in screenplay format, the Great American Light War originally appeared in New York University's "The Drama Review" in 1968 under the pen name D. Melmoth.

Official book tie-in to the original comedy written by the acclaimed writer/director Judd Apatow ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up"), starring Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Leslie Mann.
In "Funny People," writer/director Judd Apatow finds humor in one of the biggest struggles of a person's lifetime. Through the story of a famous comedian, George Simmons (Adam Sandler), who has a near-death experience, and what he does with a second chance, Apatow addresses a question that hasn't been touched with such trademark bluntness: If you had the chance to start all over again, would you be the same jerk you always were? The film stars Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, RZA, Aziz Ansari, and Aubrey Plaza.
In addition to the complete screenplay, this Newmarket Shooting Script Book includes an introduction by actor Jason Schwartzman, a film review by David Denby, a Q&A with stand-up comedian Charles Fleischer, a color photo section with 43 color photos, George Simmons movie posters, an afterword by Judd Apatow, and the complete cast and crew credits.

Hustlers on the Rocks New Comedic Screenplay Entertains with Absurd World of Cons and Detectives NEW YORK Lawrence J. Corneck has high-jacked readers and lovingly pick-pocketed them once again in his new hilarious screenplay, FAT FAT Snitch (published by AuthorHouse), a dark comedy with unusual heroes, filled with bumbling parole officers and inept con artists. Companion to his previous books, this time he tells the absurd and entertaining story of Floyd Gibbons, a sleazy, now-retired detective who must give chase to two con artists, Margo and Frank, in order to secure a prestigious position on the parole board. Wolf Blitzker, the head of the parole office and Gibbons boss, calls the two con artists, a thorn in the side of this department for a long time. As Gibbons pursues them, Margo and Frank are each involved in their own nefarious pursuits. Margo, a lesbian who happens to be dating a beautiful blond secretary in the parole office, is adding hotdog buns at Moishes Gourmet Hotdog Emporium in order to double charge people for each hotdog sold. Frank, a man who is also a lesbian, is pocketing money for each drink he sells instead of ringing them into The Kon Ticki Lounges register. One morning, however, Gibbons eavesdrops on the con duos conversation. Confusing the words buns for guns and drinks for chinks, he immediately begins a fruitless investigation into an Asian arms operation. After a series of hysterical escapades, including the former investigators inability to sit after a posterior injury, Gibbons comes incredibly close to achieving his goal, but unfortunately, is foiled by the one from above, who watches out for Margo and Frank at every turn for a very unusual reason. WillGibbons ever succeed in catching Margo and Frank? Will the dynamic con duo continue down the path of mischief and crooked dealings until their luck runs short? Find out in the hilarious conclusion of FAT FAT Snitch. Born and raised in New York, Corneck continues to love living in the Big Apple. His first book, Existential Hell: A Screenplay Trilogy (also available through AuthorHouse), a companion to Big Cigar, small d**k, was published in 2005. More screenplays based upon earlier characters, including Bald Lubavitcher, Mimes the Word and Bubble Catcher will soon be available through AuthorHouse.

Seven satirical unfilmable scripts for films. Experimental and imaginative. Full of humor and weirdness; as well as horror and terror. A total spoof of Hollywood scripts.

Following Phantom of the Opera (1943), in the middle of the Silver age of Universal Studio's monster movies, a new sequel to Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman was considered for a Technicolor production: Wolfman vs Dracula Lon Chaney Jr., who was the only actor to portray Universal's four classic monster roles; Dracula, frankenstein's monster, the mummy and the wolfman. At first Chaney was to play both roles, as his father Lon Chaney Sr. had done in several of his famous silent films. But Larry Talbot in his human phase would look exactly like Count Dracula so the role of Dracula was given to it's originator Bela Lugosi. A script was prepared by Bernard Shubert, who had written the screenplay for Tod Browning's London After Midnight(MGM 1927) remake Mark of the Vampire (MGM 1935). Shubert kept the settings very tight in its scenes, to keep the cost down to balance out for the extra expense of technicolor. But by 1944 Bela Lugosi was in his 60s and would have had to play part of his role as a giant bat much like in the Copolla Bram Stoker's Dracula in the 90s - and that would have been too much for him. And they couldn't have the Wolfman fighting an animated bat much like John Carradine's depiction of the Count or even Lugosi's portrayal in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. So they decided to make one of their Arabian Nights film on the Technicolor contract and all that remained of Wolfman vs Dracula are some color 8x10s of Chaney in both parts. This volume has a short biography of screenwriter/TV producer Bernard Shubert and comments from Shubert and special effects cinematographer David Stanley Horsley.
