R829 Discovery Miles 8 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Some Truths And Other Perversities is a compilation of some theatrical works and scripts for short fictions written by Kalent Zaiz during the point of her life when she was given a break in acting. The works written during the process were created and designed as a concern of an actress, the feelings during the career years in the majority of the projects where she worked. The scripts have strong, masculine characters. After that, she began to start searching for feminine or historical character like "Frida Kahlo," whose lives marked a milestone in culture and in the society. Its main objective is to create a strong-willed feminine character and a deep content, away from false vanity and the established prototype. The works of Kalent narrates a real story and daily lives of human life from simple dimension to the most complicated ones.

TELEVISION SERVICE GEORGE BLACKLER, Esq., P1NEWOOD STUDIOS ERNEST TAYLOR, Esq., EALING FILM STUDIOS ERIC CARTER, Esq., PINEWOOD STUDIOS THE professional photographer has long been aware that the advantages of the art of make-up can apply to portrait photography as much as to cinematography. But many amateur photographers are not so cognisant of how skilled practice in make-up can greatly increase the excellence of their own portrait photography. Or, even if they are conscious of these advantages, they tend to overestimate the difficulties involved in making up their pictures subjects. The result is that they continue toignore the possibilities of make-up. Make-up must begin where nature has left off. Com plexions and facial characteristics diffei, and every individual presents a different problem. The function of make-up, in photography of any sort, is to fit the face dramatically for the part or pose to be portrayed. In motion picture work, this regularly presents an interest ing challenge to the make-up artist, and it can offer an equally inspiring one to the photographer...

Octavia - Attributed to Seneca (Hardcover): A.J. Boyle Octavia - Attributed to Seneca (Hardcover)
A.J. Boyle
R4,029 Discovery Miles 40 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Octavia is a work of exceptional historical and dramatic interest. It is the only surviving complete example of the Roman historical drama known as the fabula praetexta. Written shortly after Nero's death by an unknown author, the play deals with events at the court of Nero in the decisive year 62 CE, for which it is the earliest extant (almost contemporary) literary source; its main themes are sex, murder, politics, power and the perceptions and constructions of history. It is a powerful, lyrical and spectacular play. This is the first critical edition of Octavia, with verse translation and commentary, which aims to elucidate the text dramatically as well as philologically, and to locate it firmly in its historical and theatrical context. The verse translation is designed for both performance and serious study.

Carl-Henning Wijkmark
R382 Discovery Miles 3 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Modern Death is written in the form of a symposium, in which a government agency brings together a group of experts to discuss a strategy for dealing with an ageing population. The speakers take up the thread of the ongoing debates about care for the aged and about euthanasia. In dark satirical mode the author shows what grim developments are possible. The theme of a "final solution" is mentioned, though the connection with Hitler is explicitly denied. The most inhuman crimes against human dignity are discussed in the symposium as if they were a necessary condition of future progress. The fiercely ironical treatment of the material tears off the thin veil that disguises the specious arguments and insidious expressions of concern for the well-being of the younger generation. Though the text was written nearly thirty years ago, the play has a terrifyingly modern relevance.

The Secret of Chimneys (Paperback): Agatha Christie The Secret of Chimneys (Paperback)
Agatha Christie
R384 Discovery Miles 3 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The council chambers at Chimneys, the Brent family estate, holds a dark and intriguing secret and someone will stop at nothing to prevent the monarchy being restored in faraway Herzoslovakia. A young drifter finds more than he bargained for when he agrees to deliver a parcel to an English country estate. Little did Anthony Cade suspect that a simple errand on behalf of a friend would make him the centrepiece of a murderous international conspiracy. A sinister plot rife with diamonds, oil concessions, exiled royalty, an elusive master criminal and the combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Surete. "There is more than murder in this story; there is a treasure hunt in it, not for gold but a diamond, and the story is suitably staged for the main part at Chimneys, that historic mansion whose secret will be found."

Ray Gentry loved airplanes from the time he was a boy, watching the old biplanes dusting cotton fields near his home in Tennessee. After college, he became a military pilot, flying in Vietnam, and later took a job as a sprayer pilot in the Mississippi Delta. It was his insatiable love for flying, however, that eventually led him to make a fateful decision with disastrous consequences for himself and those he loved. His compromise to make a "one-time flight" to Central America would lead him deep into the dark world of drug smuggling, murder, and corruption in high places. It seemed he would spend the rest of his life paying the Devil's due. God had a different plan Ray's flight to redemption would begin, ironically, with a deadly plane crash and a suitcase full of dirty money. With ruthless and relentless pursuers never far behind, there would be strategic stops across the lower forty-eight and Alaska. With the help of godly people along the route and a salty old bush pilot, who convinced him prayer was his answer, Ray reaches a stunning destination complete with a new flight plan and mission for life

Like all plantations, during America's slave period, the Big A had its share of secrets. And as Mr. Arnold went on believing old Mae (his oldest and best picker) was oblivious to his little secret... old Mae had a few secrets of her own, which left the wealthy plantation owner clueless to what would be his own undoing... yet old Mae couldn't hold a candle to Pleasant, who stayed royally humble, as he went about helping everyone around him. But not even Ella knew what Duval took to the battle field with him. And while Clora Lee and Cowayne held more secrets than anyone could count, Sistah often kept the two young adventure seekers off balance, with her double life. Yet the secret, the Arnold's oldest daughter held close to her chest, was sure to come to light one day. And as the Big A slowly fell into ruins, it collapsed on one last secret, the old plan-tation hoped to keep hidden for all eternity...

How Not To Drown was first performed on 4 August 2019 at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh. "I don't know why my Dad let me go... I was too young, too weak, to make this journey. I wouldn't have sent me... He wouldn't have sent me unless there was a reason." In 2002, in the turmoil after the end of the Kosovan War, Dritan is sent on the notoriously perilous journey across the Adriatic with a gang of people smugglers to a new life in Europe. He relies on his young wit and charm to make it to the UK. But the fight for survival continues as he clings to his identity and sense of self when he ends up in the British care system. Painful yet uplifting, How Not to Drown shares a story of endurance for a little kid who wasn't safe or welcome anywhere in the world. Award-winning theatre company ThickSkin (Chalk Farm, The Static) returns to the stage with an action packed, highly visual production.

This collection, which Mr Hampden has now revised and expanded was probably the first attempt to make a really representative selection of modern one-act plays. English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish dramatists are her tragedies, comedies, fantasies, poetic plays, a religious play, and almost inevitably, a play for women only. There are a number of established favourites: including such masterpieces in their own kind as T.S. Eliot's Sweeney Agonistes and Charles Lee's Mr Sampson. Besides Sweeney Agonistes, Mr Hampden has chosen three other pieces to make up the twenty four items in this new edition - A Pound on Demand by Sean O'Casey The Dreaming of the Bones by W.B. Yeats and The Bespoke Overcoat by Wolf Markowitz - and has written a new Introduction.

Pygmalion, by George Bernard Shaw - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - As will be seen later on, Pygmalion needs, not a preface, but a sequel, which I have supplied in its due place. The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. They spell it so abominably that no man can teach himself what it sounds like. It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him. German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to English-men. The reformer England needs today is an energetic phonetic enthusiast: that is why I have made such a one the hero of a popular play. There have been heroes of that kind crying in the wilderness for many years past. When I became interested in the subject towards the end of the eighteen-seventies, Melville Bell was dead; but Alexander J. Ellis was still a living patriarch, with an impressive head always covered by a velvet skull cap, for which he would apologize to public meetings in a very courtly manner. He and Tito Pagliardini, another phonetic veteran, were men whom it was impossible to dislike. Henry Sweet, then a young man, lacked their sweetness of character: he was about as conciliatory to conventional mortals as Ibsen or Samuel Butler. His great ability as a phonetician (he was, I think, the best of them all at his job) would have entitled him to high official recognition, and perhaps enabled him to popularize his subject, but for his Satanic contempt for all academic dignitaries and persons in general who thought more of Greek than of phonetics. Once, in the days when the Imperial Institute rose in South Kensington, and Joseph Chamberlain was booming the Empire, I induced the editor of a leading monthly review to commission an article from Sweet on the imperial importance of his subject. When it arrived, it contained nothing but a savagely derisive attack on a professor of language and literature whose chair Sweet regarded as proper to a phonetic expert only. The article, being libelous, had to be returned as impossible; and I had to renounce my dream of dragging its author into the limelight. When I met him afterwards, for the first time for many years, I found to my astonishment that he, who had been a quite tolerably presentable young man, had actually managed by sheer scorn to alter his personal appearance until he had become a sort of walking repudiation of Oxford and all its traditions. It must have been largely in his own despite that he was squeezed into something called a Readership of phonetics there. The future of phonetics rests probably with his pupils, who all swore by him; but nothing could bring the man himself into any sort of compliance with the university, to which he nevertheless clung by divine right in an intensely Oxonian way. I daresay his papers, if he has left any, include some satires that may be published without too destructive results fifty years hence. He was, I believe, not in the least an ill-natured man: very much the opposite, I should say; but he would not suffer fools gladly.

Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals.
Collected here for the first time in the series are four major works by Euripides all set in Athens: Hippoltos, translated by Robert Bagg, a dramatic interpretation of the tragedy of Phaidra; Suppliant Women, translated by Rosanna Warren and Steven Scully, a powerful examination of the human psyche; Ion, translated by W. S. Di Piero and Peter Burian, a complex enactment of the changing relations between the human and divine orders; and The Children of Herakles, translated by Henry Taylor and Robert A. Brooks, a descriptive tale of the descendants of Herakles and their journey home. These four tragedies were originally avialble as single volumes. This volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combines glossary and Greek line numbers.

Trying to get their hands on more than a little inheritance, a group of young people hide the body of a dead tycoon. But what starts as a lark quickly becomes all too serious when they discover that the body is in fact a murder victim. A comedy about business and finance, with a strong undercurrent of criminal activity, the play combines humour, intricate plotting and a confounding murder. "A different Agatha Christie. The play has deserted the familiar path of the whodunnit type thriller into the realms of black comedy. The action is played for laughs rather than chills, but once the storyline has been established, there is plenty of humour and sparkle to carry it along to the usual surprise climax." THE STAGE
