The Methuen Drama Handbook of Theatre History and Historiography
offers an authoritative guide to contemporary debates and practices
in this field. The book covers current key themes and methods in
theatre history research, and expands the object of study to
include engagement with theatre and performance practices and the
development of theatre histories around the world. Central to the
book are 16 specially commissioned essays by established and
emerging scholars from a wide range of international contexts,
whose discussion of individual case studies is predicated on their
understanding and experience of their 'local' landscape of theatre
history. These essays reveal where important work continues to be
done in the field and, most valuably, draw on academic contexts
beyond the Western academy to expand our knowledge of the exciting
directions that such an approach opens up. Prefaced by an
introduction tracing the development of the discipline of theatre
history and changing historiographical approaches, the handbook
explores current issues pertaining to theatre and performance
history research, and provides up to date and robust introductions
to the methods and historiographic questions being explored by
researchers in the field. Featuring a series of essential research
tools, including a detailed list of resources and an annotated
bibliography of key texts, this is an indispensable scholarly
handbook for anyone working in theatre and performance history and
historiography.
How has theatre represented the rural? And how does a re-viewing of
theatre of and in the rural help to build and complicate our sense
of place? Theatre & the Rural explores the different ways in
which theatre has performed the rural from the medieval to the
contemporary, and examines the changing relationships between
place, performance and audience when theatre is staged in rural
communities. The book argues that theatre has a key role to play in
both producing and potentially changing understandings of the
rural, challenging dominant views of the relationships between city
and country which can affect the political, social and cultural
lives of the nation.

For many years Suzette has managed very well to live her life
without actually taking part in it, avoiding any possibility of
pain by very carefully ignoring reality. Until something happens.
Something so terrible that she has no choice but to abandon her
cocoon of safety. After the brutal beating of an elderly domestic
worker, Suzette takes her in, and sets off a chain of events that
leads to devastating heartbreak. And an unexpected hero changes
everything. Finally finding her voice, she speaks out, and her
world explodes, culminating in the death of a very special man. On
her path to make amends, she discovers the story of his life,
connects with the people of his past, and finds the chance to fully
live her life once again if that's what she chooses to.

The medically proven diet that restores your body's essential nutritional balance "Good fats"--essential fatty acids--influence every aspect of our being, from the beating of our hearts to our ability to learn to remember. There are two types of essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-6 and omega-3. The problem with our modern diet is that it contains far more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s. This hidden imbalance makes us more vulnerable to heart disease, cancer, obesity, autoimmmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, and depression. The Omega Diet is a natural, time-tested diet that balances the essential fatty acids in your diet. It is packed with delicious food that contain the "good" fats, including real salad dressing, cheese, eggs, fish--even the occasional chocolate dessert--and an abundance of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and legumes. The Omega Diet provides: - seven simple dietary guidelines for optimal physical and mental health
- a concise guide to the foods you need to restore your body's nutritional balance
- a diet plan that lets you eat fat as you lose fat
- fifty delicious recipes that are quick and easy to prepare
- a comprehensive three-week menu to help you get started
