Joanna Norland
R356 Discovery Miles 3 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In "Lizzy, Darcy and Jane", Jane Austen pits her wit and will against her greatest adversary and ally - the intrepid heroine of "Pride and Prejudice", Elizabeth Bennet. Heady with her first taste of love for the dashing Tom LeFroy, Jane Austen, aged 20, creates "Elizabeth" in an exuberant moment of inspiration, with Mr Darcy taking on the role of her arch enemy and reluctant admirer. But when Jane's romance with Tom sours, she sentences Elizabeth to marry the odious Mr Collins, and herself to an equally disastrous marriage. The fates of the author, the novel and its heroine are at stake. Elizabeth Bennet must take action.

Also visiting are Edward (who is in love with Henrietta) and Midge (who loves Edward). Veronica ardently desires to marry Cristow and succeeds in reopening their affair but is unable to get him to divorce his wife. Veronica unwisely states that if she cannot have him, no one shall. Within five minutes Cristow is dead. Nearly everyone has a motive and most had the opportunity. Enter Inspector Colquhoun and Sergeant Penny to solve the crime.

Jack the Lad (Paperback): David Wood, Dave Arthur, Toni Arthur Jack the Lad (Paperback)
David Wood, Dave Arthur, Toni Arthur
R356 Discovery Miles 3 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Following the success of their collaboration on Robin Hood, David Wood and Dave and Toni Arthur wrote Jack the Lad, a musical celebration of Jack, the ubiquitous hero or everyman of English legend, myth and folklore - from Little Jack Horner, through Jack and the Beanstalk to Spring Heeled Jack, the Terror of London. The setting is a gypsy encampment, where a series of Jack tales and songs are performed by the gypsies to celebrate the 80th birthday of their senior member - affectionately known as Jack the Lad. The play, therefore, depicts contemporary gypsy life, as well as traditional gypsy customs and superstitions, and is a delightful amalgam of the traditional arts of storytelling, singing and dancing, with a mumming play, a shadow-mime and puppetry also employed within the main framework.

Night Errant (Paperback): Georges Feydeau Night Errant (Paperback)
Georges Feydeau; Translated by M. Pilch

This farcical comedy set in 1910 is a translation by Michael Pilch of Georges Feydeau's Feu la Mere de Madame. Things go seriously wrong when Lucien arrives home from a ball in the early hours of the morning dressed as Louis XIV. His late arrival and his enraptured account of the ball invites the wrath of Yvonne, his wife, which is heightened when he unwittingly makes disparaging remarks about her figure. The maid, Annette, is dragged from her bed to witness his discomfiture and the angry scene which follows. 2 women, 2 men

Alan Ayckbourn

There are no less than eight intimate exchanges in this ingenious tour de farce and each has two different endings; you can see Intimate Exchanges sixteen times and not see the same play twice!

Naelstring (Afrikaans, Paperback): Pieter Fourie Naelstring (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Pieter Fourie
R58 Discovery Miles 580 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Naelstring belig die problematiek van transformasie in ’n nuwe Suid-Afrika en die soms fanatieke eise van swart bemagtiging. Die drama sentreer rondom ’n moeder wat weier om haar pasgebore baba se naelstring te knip. Die baba is egter nie bereid om die absurde situasie gelate te aanvaar nie en neem sy gehoor op ’n reis van swart komedie en deernisvolle maar pynlike interaksie. Pieter Fourie, dramaturg en dramaveteraan, is waarskynlik die enigste Suid-Afrikaanse kunstenaar wat diep spore as toneelspeler, regisseur, artistieke direkteur en skrywer getrap het. Met Naelstring deurbreek die bekroonde dramaturg Pieter Fourie opnuut die grense van sy oeuvre.
