Torianey Heckstall's personal philosophy says it all. "Feeling in the dark" is a metaphor for how she feels when she makes the most of the decisions in her life. Life is a random cascade of experiences and opportunities-or so she thought. On a whim, she decides to upgrade a ight she's taking to rst class, never daring to imagine that this one seemingly random decision would change her life in ways she could only once dream of. Sitting next to her is the man who will change her life. QueShaune Guadau II is the owner of a billion-dollar oil corporation founded by his father. But even he knows that money can't buy him everything he craves-and he's too distracted to realize that the beautiful stranger next to him in rst class could change his life too. Shaune and Tory made a deal with each other that will change both their lives forever. Tory was never a woman to go back on her own rules; even so, Shaune's relentlessness would soon make her question her unshakeable moral core. And he will do whatever it takes to convince her that he is the man for her. Neither is able to abandon the sexy, irty, cat-and-mouse games, and this creates a problem for Shaune's best friend, Marcus Swain. Jealous and vindictive, Marcus controls a game of his own, in which the two become unwitting players. Soon, he engineers a tumultuous rift between them. Now it's a race to see which game is the more powerful-seduction or sabotage.
The Saigon Tangent tells the story of five members of a Special Force Unit during the Vietnam War who are tasked to solve a series of alarming homicides.

This triple bill of one act murder mysteries combines: The Wasp's Nest which sees Hercule Poirot come between a bitter triangle of lovers to prevent a sinister murder before it takes place; The Rats, a dark and chilling tale in which a pair of adulterous lovers and themselves lured to a flat, trapped like rats and framed for murder; and finally, The Patient, a tense thriller in which a woman has been hospitalised after seemingly falling from her balcony.
Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: there's her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: how much of her father's madness - or genius - will Catherine inherit? Gwyneth Paltrow starred in this Pultizer Prize-winning play which opened at the Donmar Warehouse in 2001.
Dr. Chamomile Toser specializes in analyzing evidence and bones, with the help of her partner, FBI Agent Seth Billings, who brings her a new, mysterious case pops up. Twelve people have been murdered, and there's almost no usable evidence. Toser agrees to take the case, and soon her team of talented scientists is neck-deep in the investigation. This serial killer is good, but no criminal can run forever. Meanwhile, Toser is dealing with some uncomfortable emotions-she's falling in love with her partner. Seth feels the same way, but he knows there's more to Toser than law and science. He suspects she's been lying to him, or at least hiding a secret from her past. It's not long before that past catches up with her. The serial killer is someone she knows, and he has chosen his next target: her. Now, Toser has to make a tough call. Does she tell Seth the truth and accept his assistance in catching the killer, or does she keep her secrets safe and set out on her own to stop further bloodshed?
On a sunny afternoon in August of 1970, the Eastern Caribbean was, without warning, confronted with a terrible and tragic event. The Christena, a well-used ferry that regularly crossed the eleven-mile expanse between the twin islands if St. Kitts and Nevis sank. The two British colonial societies were suddenly thrown into turmoil, finding themselves unprepared to deal with such sudden tragedy. The ferry was registered to carry 155 passengers, but it was severely overloaded. While ninety-nine people survived that afternoon, nearly 250 other passengers perished disaster. As if their struggle to heal after the tragedy was not taxing enough, the islands had yet more adversity to conquer. However, both societies were determined to overcome that terrible event, even as they fought to achieve greater political independence. Told from the perspective of Whitman T. Browne, PhD, a native if Nevis, who lived on the island at the time of the tragedy. "The Christena Disaster Forty-Two Years Later" is a moving, firsthand account of how these sister communities banded together, not only to win their political autonomy, but also to overcome their emotional suffering as a result of greater tragedy.
A collection of three radio plays, including a Poirot story, for live performance comprised of Personal Call, Yellow Iris, and Butter in a Lordly Dish. Personal Call sees James Brent haunted by his dead wife when he receives a mysterious telephone call, seemingly from beyond the grave.

Butter in a Lordly Dish sees eminent prosecution barrister Sir Luke Enderby get his comeuppance in one of Christie's most gruesome and horrifying murders.
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
This is Tom Stoppard's award-winning play, set in Derbyshire. The orderly classicism of Lady Croom's Capability Brown grounds are being turned into picturesque romantic chaos, as fashion dictates, by landscape architect "Culpability Noakes". In a Regency room overlooking the work is Lady Croom's brilliant adolescent daughter - Thomasina Coverly, with her handsome, clever tutor Septimus Hodge. Their maths lesson is disturbed by, among others, the imperious, amorous Lady Croom and Ezra Chater, a cuckold and minor poet, determined on satisfaction. One hundred and eighty years later, in the same room, a corresponding group, comprising a mathematician, a biographer/historian, and a vulgar academic, try to unravel the events of 1809 - with spectacularly wrong results.

B. C. 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...
Ruth Finnegan's Oral Literature in Africa was first published in 1970, and since then has been widely praised as one of the most important books in its field. Based on years of fieldwork, the study traces the history of storytelling across the continent of Africa. This revised edition makes Finnegan's ground-breaking research available to the next generation of scholars. It includes a new introduction, additional images and an updated bibliography, as well as its original chapters on poetry, prose, "drum language" and drama, and an overview of the social, linguistic and historical background of oral literature in Africa. This book is the first volume in the World Oral Literature Series, an ongoing collaboration between OBP and World Oral Literature Project. A free online archive of recordings and photographs that Finnegan made during her fieldwork in the late 1960s is hosted by the World Oral Literature Project (http: //www.oralliterature.org/collections/rfinnegan001.html) and can also be accessed from publisher's website.
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.
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. |
