Have you ever gathered around a cowboy's campfire on a pitch black
night, and felt like someone was standing beside you in the dark?
Have you ever heard scratching on the side of your tent, and hoped
it was only a tumbleweed? There are TWO ways to have fun with
Creepers Mysteries. Enjoy reading the BOOK (in the front). Star in
your own Movie for the Ear using the SCRIPT (in the back). You'll
have a blast Harry, Gillian and Arvin visit Smokey Joe's Ranch and
go on an authentic cattle drive. They find out just how authentic
when they land in the middle of a century-old mystery between a
bandit and a bounty hunter from the Old West.
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.
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.
Four Screenplays by Don Haderlein includes the full length
screenplays: Together We Stand, Brothers, Moonbeams and The
Compassion of Jesus.
This is the second part; to the story call the twins; it seems that
as the boys; lost all hope; the next door; neighbors decides to
help them; in their time of need.
Here are three screenplays collected in print for the first time,
from the prolific bizarro genius Tom Bradley. Each screenplay is
adapted from a novel of the same name. LEMUR - damnation and
salvation in the food services industry. VITAL FLUID - rival
hypnotists stage a bizarre series of showdowns. BOMB BABY - a
manhunt through Hiroshima's lightless crannies. ' . . . brilliant,
evocative writing. Bizarre imagination set free. An enviable
skill.' -Consuelo Boland
In this original screenplay, Sgt. Janet Lacey is a tall, tough
uniformed sheriff's deputy with a reputation for being a regular
Dirty Harriet. Herb Robbins is a short, bleeding heart liberal,
assistant district attorney, who's just dismissed one of her cases
because she didn't have a valid search warrant. And, tonight, she's
stuck with him as her ride along. When a serial killer that Lacey
has captured is gunned down while in her custody, her conduct
becomes suspect. Later, when the dead man's mother is found
murdered, a large amount of cash found on Lacey and a big drug
stash discovered in her apartment, a warrant is issued for the
officer's arrest. Robbins is the only one who believes that she's
innocent, but can he help her?

Think giving birth is just one day so your birth choices don't
matter? Think again. Playwright Karen Brody interviewed over one
hundred low-risk, educated mothers about their birth experiences
and turned what she discovered into a critically acclaimed play
"Birth." Today the play is part of BOLD, a global movement to
improve childbirth choices for mothers. If you want to understand
childbirth today then this is a must-read (and see ) play. The
themes in "Birth" are universally found in most industrialized
countries today: a surprisingly large number of pregnant women do
not know their birth options and the risks of medical
interventions; pregnant women are being physically and verbally
coerced; power - and pleasure - are available to women who give
birth; and that inside all pregnant moms there is a knowing that
their bodies rock. "Birth" has been performed to sold-out audiences
throughout the world as part of the BOLD movement, raising money
for projects that educate pregnant mothers and expand their
childbirth choices. This book includes the complete second edition
of "Birth," a foreword by bestselling women's health author Dr.
Christiane Northrup, and Karen Brody's reflections on childbirth
today and how pregnant mothers can have an empowering birth.
