Timing (Paperback): Alistair McGowan Timing (Paperback)
Alistair McGowan
R296 Discovery Miles 2 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Impressionist Alistair McGowan debuts his first play Timing at the Kings Head Theatre starting from the 30th September, starring Dean Gaffney (Robbie from Eastenders) and regular theatre star Edward Baker-Duly. It seems that McGowan, famed by his sketch show Big Impression on the BBC has decided to return to the theatre after his work in Cabaret (Lyric Theatre), Little Shop of Horrors (New Ambassadors Theatre) and The Mikado (Gielgud Theatre) but this time as a playwright. Teaming up with director Tamara Harvey, Timing is all about a young guy called Julian Mann (Baker-Duly) who sets off to work one morning only to find his ex-girlfriend of 5 years is at his workplace, but the complication arises in that they have not spoken since the break-up in which she broke his heart. It is set to go on until 8th November, and if McGowan's previous work is anything to go by it should be a comic hit. It should also be interesting to see how the comedian tackles more serious topics as well. --Review from spoonfed.co.uk

That's Love (Paperback): Ron Aldridge That's Love (Paperback)

R296 Discovery Miles 2 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Frank Daniels Trio were a singing, dancing, comedy sensation. A Wow Top of the Bill Socko Frank, the manager, was always on the left. Tony, the comedy man, was always on the right. Both men adored the girl in the middle - the beautiful Sarah. The perfect recipe for an entangled triangle. Sarah yearned for the more exciting Tony to declare his love, but it was the stable Frank who made the first move. She accepted. And so they married and lived happily - well, almost - ever after. That was in the 60's. Music changed. Styles changed. The trio disbanded. Sarah often thought about Tony. Tony wondered about Sarah. And when, years later, the three friends re-unite, memories and yearnings return - this time offering a second chance for true happiness. Will they dare to take it? With stand-up comedy and 'grumpy old men', this emotional roller coaster of a play will confirm the old adage that 'truth will out'.

Now Bex is approaching 40 and her salon is under fierce competition from a newcomer across the road, precipitating a crisis with Heidi, her friend who works for her. Her husband Max has planned a surprise 40th birthday party for her, though it's not much of a surprise and in fact rather unwelcome. As the two women attend to their clients, I Want That Hair looks without flinching at what turning 40 can mean to someone who has never really been anywhere in their life, and is just beginning to realise that they probably never will.

The Whitbread 2000 Book of the Year is a haunting and captivating work of historical fiction for children.

Instead, he murders them and buries them by the roadside, to the helpless horror of his mentally ill son, Mish. Mish saves one, Aaron, who grows up happily unaware of his history, proving himself a promising musician. As Aaron's new life takes him closer to his real family, the watchful Mish makes a terrible mistake, delivering Aaron and his best friend Toby back into the hands of the Coram man. It tells the story of a dark time in English history. Fans of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and Goodnight Mr Tom will love this. A great read for children aged 10+. Look out for Jamilla's other titles: The Eye of the Horse The Robber Baron's Daughter The Track of the Wind Wheel of Surya Coram Boy won the 2000 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year, was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and has been adapted into a highly acclaimed stage play. Jamila Gavin was born in Mussoorie, India, in the foothills of the Himalayas. With an Indian father and an English mother, she inherited two rich cultures which ran side by side throughout her life, and which always made her feel she belonged to both countries. The family finally settled in England where Jamila completed her schooling, was a music student, worked for the BBC and became a mother of two children. It was then that she began writing children's books, and felt a need to reflect the multi-cultural world in which she and her children now lived.

Bad Jazz (Paperback): Robort Farquhar Bad Jazz (Paperback)
Robort Farquhar
R296 Discovery Miles 2 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This provocative new comedy is about a group of desperate souls who come together in pursuit of a shared dream. It's set in the 'wannabe culture', where everything is possible as long as you want it hard enough, and are willing to pay the price. Natasha is an actress but her latest role is going way too far for her boyfriend Ben. Guru theatre director Gavin is pushing the limits - but despite his reputation as an enfant terrible, he isn't at all what he seems. Fellow actor Danny has a sexual appetite liable to land him in big trouble, while the producer Danielle is worried about the outrage Gavin's production is sure to cause. And Writer Hannah has a story to tell, but does it still ring true? Bad Jazz is a gratuitous farce that exploits and satirises modern theatre, asking the question, 'how far are you prepared to go?'

Vrededorp (Afrikaans, Paperback): Charles. J. Fourie Vrededorp (Afrikaans, Paperback)

Charles J. Fourie se Vrededorp handel oor die geboorte van die Nuwe Suid-Afrika in 1990 en 1994. Dit is egter nie net 'n poltieke drama nie. Die oortuigende en diepgaande karakteruitbeelding sorg dat dit 'n algemeen menslike trefkrag het. Die drama bestaan onder meer uit 'n toneelstuk binne 'n toneelstuk. Samuel Beckett se Waiting for Godot word deur drie van die karakters opgevoer. Die absurde situasie van Beckett se stuk kry 'n besondere sinvolheid in Fourie se verwerking daarvan. Die stuk eindig met 'n fiktiewe, gespeelde vooruitflits na 2004. Dit plaas die voorafgaande gebeure in 'n nuwe, skrynende perspektief. Vrededorp is bekroon met die 2005 KKNK / Nagtegaal toekenning vir Beste Nuwe Drama. Kobus Burger, Beeld se teaterresensent, het van die stuk gese: "Fourie vermeng die persoonlike, sosiale, politieke en maatskaplike meesterlik in 'n verhoogwerk wat 'n mens diep raak."

Heard the one about the Englishman, the Scotsman and the Irishman? This biting topical comedy pokes a finger at ideas of national identity, class and Britain's role in the modern world. Set in a once-grand country manor house now converted into a language school teaching English to foreign students, Queens English looks at the peculiarities and the stereotypes of the English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish and American cultures. The American, a brash New Yorker named Ruby, has recently won the school in a poker game, and now has big plans - including a surprise visit from a Royal guest. But first she has to try and gain control over the four teachers and their different backgrounds as tempers flare while personal and national grudges are brought out into the open, threatening to upstage HRH's imminent visit.
