TC's life is a busy one, filled with the physical demands of her job as a mail carrier and her dreams to play basketball, not to mention the demands of her convoluted love life. Her girlfriend, Samantha, is one beautiful and powerful woman--and a cop. Jealousy seems to be the unavoidable side effect of their open relationship, and though they each have a lover on the side, each fears loss and heartbreak. Are any of them meant to be together? Is Samantha "the one" for TC--or is her true love still out there somewhere?Jay, TC's best friend, supports her, but he has his own issues. A jock and a player, Jay considers himself a real ladies' man, but on the day he meets Carly, everything he thinks he knows about himself is called into question. Carly has only recently started living her life as a woman, and she's got to balance her natural attraction to Jay with her fear that he will reject her when he learns the truth. As Jay does his best to give TC advice on her own love life, he's got some big decisions to make himself. Is Carly his destiny? Is he hers?Things may not always go as planned, but that's the beauty of life and relationships--and this is especially true in The Million Dollar Story.

This monograph examines three aesthetic emotions in AElfric's Lives of Saints. Drawing on recent research on emotional communities, this research combines methods from Cognitive Sciences and other studies on early Medieval English language and literature in order to explore AElfric's usage of the terms in the lexical domain of amazement. The main aim of this study is to identify preferred modes of expression that would reveal a series of emotional rules in the context of AElfric's emotional community. Looking into AElfric's usage of this lexical domain and how he depicts emotion dynamics in these texts, this monograph shows how the emotion family of amazement is central to the hagiographical genre, and it highlights important emotion-regulation scripts that operate in these texts.

Agamemnon is the first of the three plays within the Oresteia trilogy and is considered to be one of Aeschylus' greatest works. This collection of 12 essays, written by prominent international academics, brings together a wide range of topics surrounding Agamemnon from its relationship with ancient myth and ritual to its modern reception. There is a diverse array of discussion on the salient themes of murder, choice and divine agency. Other essays also offer new approaches to understanding the notions of wealth and the natural world which imbue the play, as well as a study of the philosophical and moral questions of choice and revenge. Arguments are contextualized in terms of performance, history and society, discussing what the play meant to ancient audiences and how it is now received in the modern theatre. Intended for readers ranging from school students and undergraduates to teachers and those interested in drama (including practitioners), this volume includes a performer-friendly and accessible English translation by David Stuttard.

More than one million people from all walks of life have been uplifted and entertained by Heaven Bound, the folk drama that follows, through song and verse, the struggles between Satan and a band of pilgrims on their way down the path of glory that leads to the golden gates. Staged annually and without interruption for more than seventy years at Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Heaven Bound is perhaps the longest running black theater production. Here, a lifelong member of Big Bethel with many close ties to Heaven Bound recounts its lively history and conveys the enduring power and appeal of an Atlanta tradition that is as much a part of the city as Coca-Cola or Gone with the Wind.

Die drama speel af in die Karoodorpie Willowmore. Die rol van die kerk, verkragting, verlies en familie is van die temas wat aangeraak word.

Lekas kyk na 'n kind se weerloosheid en na die familie se verantwoordelikheid om na haar om te sien. Die watermeid (waternimf of meermin) is die mitiese figuur wat tot die dorpie se redding moet kom en drie kinders in die stuk hoop sy sal hulle kom red.

Dit raak egter gekompliseerd wanneer die skuldige persoon 'n belangrike figuur in die gemeenskap is - die dominee.
