Published alongside his Sex Play at the National Theatre comes
Desmond Dingle's mind-bendingly erudite account of how we all got
to be where we are now. Desmond Dingle, founder and leading actor
of the National Theatre of Brent, gives us the benefit of his
encyclepaeadd - incyclicalpeed - huge and devastating knowledge by
charting the history of the world in sixty-six chapters, three
prefaces and a foreword by Omar Sharif. Starting, obviously, with
The Creation of the Universe, and moving swiftly through The Dawn
of Man, The Grandeur that was Rome and A History of the English
Channel, each chapter is replete with erudition: "The Chinese
Empire is one of the oldest Empires in the world and existed until
recently without anyone knowing about it. Apart from the Chinese,
obviously." Each chapter also ends with helpful suggestions of
'Things to Do': eg Make a scale model of the Big Bang. Discuss
Civilisation generally. Release from bondage an oppressed person of
your acquaintance. Originally published (in 1987) as All the
World's a Globe, this revised and updated version is cynically and
opportunistically re-issued to cashin on the anticipated success of
the same author's Wonder of Sex at the National Theatre this
Christmas. (Fingers crossed.)
