"Anne Washburn's downright brilliant play has arrived to leave you
dizzy with the scope and dazzle of its ideas." - The New York Times
It's the end of everything in contemporary America. A future
without power. But what will survive? Mr Burns asks how the stories
we tell make us the people we are, explodes the boundaries between
pop and high culture and, when society has crumbled, imagines the
future for America's most famous family. A delightfully bizarre,
funny, bleak and wonderful play that challenges dramatic form and
the nature of theatre as storytelling. Published for the first time
in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition features a
new introduction by Charlotte Higgins.

Between light and shadow, science and superstition, fear and
knowledge is a dimension of imagination. An area we call the
Twilight Zone. Adapted by Anne Washburn (Mr Burns) and directed by
Olivier Award-winner Richard Jones, this world premiere production
of the acclaimed CBS Television Series The Twilight Zone lands on
stage for the first time in its history. Or its present. Or its
future. Stage magic and fantasy unite as the ordinary becomes
extraordinary.
A group gathers at a remote ranch in the Texas Hill Country to
mourn the loss of a friend they haven't seen in years. As they mine
through their pasts, it may be more than just the loss of a friend
that binds them. The past and present begin to blur in Anne
Washburn's haunting exploration of friendship and loss.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tech. Around you, a company of 14
is engaged in the very peculiar-and peculiarly impossible-task of
making a new play. You'll have a seat next to the sound designer as
he mixes cues. You'll eavesdrop on backstage gossip as it happens
over headset. You'll watch the director struggle to contain the
uncontainable. Anne Washburn (Mr. Burns) took notes during her tech
rehearsals over the years. 10
This companion to the bestselling The Wes Anderson Collection is
the only book to take readers behind the scenes of The Grand
Budapest Hotel. Through a series of in-depth interviews between
writer/director Wes Anderson and cultural critic Matt Zoller Seitz,
Anderson shares the story behind the film's conception, personal
anecdotes about the making of the film, and the wide variety of
sources that inspired him-from author Stefan Zweig to filmmaker
Ernst Lubitsch to photochrom landscapes of turn-of-the-century
Middle Europe. The book also features interviews with costume
designer Milena Canonero, composer Alexandre Desplat, lead actor
Ralph Fiennes, production designer Adam Stockhausen and
cinematographer Robert Yeoman; essays by film critics Ali Arikan
and Steven Boone, film theorist and historian David Bordwell, music
critic Olivia Collette, and style and costume consultant
Christopher Laverty; and an introduction by playwright Anne
Washburn. Previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photos, ephemera
and artwork lavishly illustrate these interviews and essays. The
Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest Hotel stays true to
Seitz's previous book on Anderson's first seven feature films,The
Wes Anderson Collectionwith an artful design and playful
illustrations that capture the spirit of Anderson's inimitable
aesthetic. Together, they offer a complete, definitive overview of
Anderson's filmography to date. Praise for the film, The Grand
Budapest Hotel: Nine Academy Award (R) nominations, including Best
Picture, Directing, and Writing - Original Screenplay; Best Film -
Musical or Comedy, Winner of the Golden Globe for Best Motion
Picture, 5 BAFTA awards, including Best Original Screen Play; Best
Production Design, Best Costume Design; Best Make Up & Hair and
Best Original Music.
From across the room I saw the President, torchlight playing across
his visage. And the violins began, and the low rumble of the
timpani. I screamed. I ran. An old farmhouse upstate. Snow is
falling. Mountains are falling. Something is breaking apart. You
are formally invited to dinner with the 45th President of the
United States. Anne Washburn (The Twilight Zone, Mr Burns) returns
with a sinister and sensational new play, directed by Almeida
Artistic Director Rupert Goold.
Lost-in-translation business trips and global travel are put
under the microscope in "The Internationalist," a play of wit,
romance, misunderstandings and the mysteries of
communication.
Lowell goes abroad on business. He thinks he's in one of those
great American films where you go to a foreign land and there's
romance and adventure. However Lowell soon discovers that he's not
in one of those movies, he's in one of those foreign films where
nothing is as it seems, where there is no clear hero, and most
importantly: no subtitles.
