Aeschylus was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. He is often described as the father of tragedy: our knowledge of the genre begins with his work and our understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays. Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived into modern times. Fragments of some other plays have survived in quotes and more continue to be discovered on Egyptian papyrus, often giving us surprising insights into his work.

Sam Slade didn't believe in Gorgo until he saw the monster's hideous scaly face, its slimy green talons and the massive mouth that could swallow a killer whale. If this was not enough he was to have even bigger problems in his future. The story mixes familiarity with a couple of neat plot twists; the special effects are ambitious and oftentimes stunning; and the use of a man in a rubber dinosaur suit, a technique usually met with derision, is undoubtedly one of the best on record. But perhaps the reason that supersedes them all is that Gorgo is the rare city-stomping monster spectacle with heart. Released by MGM in 1961, Gorgo is that oft-told cinematic fable of the giant beast that threatens humanity This volume contains the shooting script and the original tie-in novel by Carson Bingham and a production background by Bill Cooke.

In the mid-1980's Gerry Anderson - the man behind cult classics like Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, Space:1999 - came up with a concept for an exciting new television series. Together with long-time collaborator Tony Barwick, Gerry wrote and shot the pilot story for Space Police. Once the pilot was complete it would take nearly 10 years to secure the funding to make the series which was eventually renamed Space Precinct. Now, for the first time, the original screenplay of this untransmitted pilot film is available for Gerry Anderson fans worldwide to enjoy

From the Authors Since writing my book, "A Dream Within a Dream," in 2008, the enigmas of the Kiger family have slowly been peeled away, revealing pain, suffering, regret, and forgiveness. My wife, Barbara, a psychologist who has worked with adolescent girls and their families for the last thirty years, has been very curious as to how such a tragedy could have taken place in this seemingly "normal" family. After many late night discussions and debates, we decided to write a play exploring how this horrific incident affected the survivors, Joan and her mother. We wanted the play to highlight Joan as she transitioned from an innocent 15 year old to a 16 year old marred by fate and the legal system . And what about Jennie? What was life like for her after her family was totally destroyed by this inexplicable event? In our writing process, we each seemed to gravitate to those scenes which somehow spoke to something deep within us. For Barbara, it was the mother- daughter relationship and Joan's metamorphosis: becoming the young woman who guides her mother toward forgiveness and truth; and for me, it was about the machinations of men interested more in their own fame, fortune and survival than in helping a troubled teenager. Our thanks to all who have contributed to the search for what happened to this family that fateful year of 1943 and to the Boone County Historical Society under the guidance of Asa Rouse and Bruce Ferguson who were the first to bring this story from the yellowed pages of sixty- year old newspapers to their recreation of the Kiger murder trial.

Welcome ladies gentlemen and fellow aficionados to what we lovingly call the fine arts. Presented to you in this book are four plays about Texans, written for Texans, by a fellow Texan, Edwin C. De La Rosa. Please excuse the overuse of the words us and we in this introduction for it is not delusions of grandeur; but it is a small sign that none of these four plays come from one simple mind, for you see each of these plays were formed from a collection of many minds. Likewise this collection of plays is written to the best of our abilities to appeal in an entertaining way to this great melting pot we call America. The mere word play has a meaning of an activity people engage in for mere entertainment or enjoyment. Therefore as a playwright, we feel that it is our duty to create a piece of literature in which the dialogue and the actions of our characters entertain and bring joy to the audience. Much like a book, a play also has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Fortunately, for us playwrights unlike a book a play is much open to interpretation. Be it by the demands of an artistic director or the performance of a truly gifted thespian a play maybe actually given new life and new meaning. To aid a little in a closer interpretation of these plays we have included a small preface to each story.

Widely considered the darkest and most intriguing of the central Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back deepens the exploration of mythic themes first essayed in A New Hope. From its opening amid a besieged Rebel stronghold on the ice planet Hoth to its finale on Bespin, the floating city run by gambler Lando Calrissian, Empire charts Luke Skywalker's travails on the arduous path to becoming a Jedi Knight - a journey that culminates in a punishing face-off with Imperial warlord Darth Vader, and Luke's realisation of the dreadful truth about the fate which befell his father Anakin. Derived from George Lucas's original story, the screenplay was composed by Leigh Brackett (veteran writer for Howard Hawks and Robert Altman) and Lawrence Kasdan (who soon afterwards established himself as a director with Body Heat and The Big Chill). Together, they produced a psychologically complex piece of epic storytelling, treasurably enhanced by the verbal jousting - and the affecting romance - between Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Four Screenplays by Don Haderlein includes the full length screenplays: Together We Stand, Brothers, Moonbeams and The Compassion of Jesus.

The official script for the box-office smash movie, featuring every ruddy word (and stage direction) of Alan's seamless transformation from natural-born broadcaster into fully fledged and occasionally fully dressed hostage negotiator. Contains deleted scenes and an exclusive Foreword by Steve Coogan. With a television career behind him and a much-coveted breakfast slot in his spiritual home, regional digital radio, there was only one place left for Alan Partridge to turn: Hollywood! Or rather, an Anglo-French funded co-production for the big screen. Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa sees Alan face his biggest challenge since he spent six months in a travel tavern, and is almost certainly the first time he has handled a loaded gun since he was a prime-time BBC2 presenter. When his beloved income-source North Norfolk Digital is taken over by a faceless media conglomerate, Alan's inimitable instinct for self-preservation leads to a violent and bloody siege on the radio station by an unhinged, nay mentalist, DJ, and a hostage crisis for which there can be only one man with the chat to diffuse it ... Featuring a cast of old and new Partridge favourites, including Sidekick Simon, assistant Lynn and Michael the Geordie, Alpha Papa is proof that while the jury's out on whether you can keep a good man down, it's an outright fact that you can't keep a good regional broadcaster off the airwaves.

For a unique, little-known three month period in 1505 Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. They each had a comission to paint a mural depicting the military glories of Florence. This play dramatizes that great moment in history. What transpired in that room? How did Leonardo, sophisticated and well travelled, handle the local bearded recluse? How did Michelangelo react to the older, more experienced artist working in his city? Salai, Leonardo's adopted son, was named the Devil for good reason.

A crew of thieves meet in a graveyard to discuss their next jobs. They're confident the cops aren't listening. They're right about that. But someone or something hears every word and needs their skills. At any cost in price or life.
