Watch the Bible come to life... with these delightfully funny
sketches and monologues taken from familiar biblical narratives.
Written with great humor and charm, these 16 scripts are always in
good taste and contain pointed truths recognizable to everyone.
Each piece will be appropriate for audiences inside the church and
out. Martha Bolton's commitment is evident in each sketch's
message.
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.
Susie, Edwina and Lucy have moved to a new school in a new town.
Three very different sisters who will do anything to fit in and yet
are desperate to be noticed. But how far will they go to break out
of the roles in which they've been cast and will they ever be able
to truly change their lives when they're swimming against the tide?
This edition is the prescribed text for the English Mastery
Secondary programme. Hortense yearns for a new life away from rural
Jamaica, Gilbert dreams of becoming a lawyer, and Queenie longs to
escape her Lincolnshire roots. In these three intimately connected
stories, hope and humanity meet stubborn reality, tracing the
tangled history of Jamaica and Britain. Andrea Levy's epic novel
Small Island, adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson, journeys
from Jamaica to Britain in 1948 - the year that HMT Empire Windrush
docked at Tilbury. It premiered at the National Theatre, London, in
April 2019, directed by Rufus Norris. 'Honest, skilful, thoughtful
and important. This is Andrea Levy's big book' Guardian on Andrea
Levy's Small Island

front of it a garden. In an avenue of trees, under an old poplar,
stands a table set for tea, with a samovar, etc. Some benches and
chairs stand near the table. On one of them is lying a guitar. A
hammock is swung near the table. It is three o'clock in the
afternoon of a cloudy day. MARINA, a quiet, grey-haired, little old
woman, is sitting at the table knitting a stocking.
