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.
One relationship. Infinite possibilities. 'Let's go for a drink. I
don't know what I'm doing here anyway. One drink. And if you never
want to see me again you never have to see me again.' Nick Payne's
Constellations is a play about free will and friendship; it's about
quantum multiverse theory, love and honey. Constellations premiered
at the Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in
January 2012. It transferred to the Duke Of York's Theatre, London,
in November, and was awarded the Evening Standard award for Best
New Play 2012.
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.
A famous artist invites her old friends to her luxurious new home.
For one night only, the group is back together. But celebrations

Water) is a visceral and shocking new play about the fragility of
friendship and the jealousy and resentment inspired by success.

Winner of Best Play for Young Audiences in the Writers' Guild
Awards 2016 The tide was turning - though local governments
disagreed, it would soon be illegal to segregate black Americans
from white Americans on public buses, in waiting rooms or in
restaurants. And yet - in the early 1960s, many states across the
south of America kept discriminating against African-Americans...
In modern day Britain, four actor-storytellers tell the stories of
the Freedom Riders - principled citizens riding buses across
Alabama and Mississippi, drawing attention to this illegal
discrimination, and facing up to terrifying violence with peaceful
resistance. The story of the Freedom Riders is one of ordinary
people becoming a civil rights movement, taking on the
establishment and changing the world. In a time of Michael Brown,
and Trayvon Martin, and Mark Duggan, what does it mean for people
to come together and rise up?

bullied on all sides. He adopts a fledgling kestrel and treats it
with all the tenderness he has never known. Slowly, he begins to
see for the first time what he could achieve - if only he tried.
Lawrence Till's adaptation of Barry Hines' 1968 novel retains its
gritty charm and popular staying power. Kes was first performed at
