Romantic comedy in which a man whose girlfriend has recently left
him finds new love with the help of an injured duck. Doug (Rhys
Darby) is devastated when his girlfriend, Susan (Faye Smith),
announces that she has had enough of him and is dumping him. When
he stumbles upon an injured duck, his black mood is such that he
only just decides to help it. However, caring for the duck brings
out another side of Doug - one even he may not have been aware of -
and he gradually begins to develop a new perspective on life. Even
better, through the duck Doug meets Holly (Sally Hawkins), a vet,
and the pair hit it off. But, with the return of Susan to the
scene, will their fledgling relationship take off?
The term 'theatre laboratory' has entered the regular lexicon of
theatre artists, producers, scholars and critics alike, yet use of
the term is far from unified, often operating as an catch-all for a
web of intertwining practices, territories, pedagogies and
ideologies. Russian theatre, however, has seen a clear emergence of
laboratory practice that can be divided into two distinct
organisational structures: the studio and the masterskaya
(artisanal guild). By assessing these structures, Bryan Brown
offers two archetypes of group organisation that can be applied
across the arts and sciences, and reveals a complex history of the
laboratory's characteristics and functions that support the term's
use in theatre. This book's discursive, historical approach has
been informed substantially by contemporary practice, through
interviews with and examinations of practitioners including Slava
Polunin, Anatoli Vassiliev, Sergei Zhenovach and Dmitry Krymov.
This is a well-researched and highly-illustrated biography of one
of the most influential educational leaders of the 20th century.
John Henry Brookes was a driving force in the development of
education throughout the city of Oxford. Determined, kind and
visionary, his ideas and energy profoundly affected many lives, and
Oxford Brookes University was named in his honour. The book
describes his early life, the influential thinkers that shaped his
views, his arts and crafts career, and his long struggle that led
to the Headington campus of what is now the highly-respected Oxford
Brookes University. With photography dating form the early years of
the 20th century, and beautiful colour reproductions of artwork
produced by Brookes, the biography will provide a compelling
insight into the life of a man who was determined to change
education for young people in Oxford.
