The official prequel to Jim Henson’s beloved The Dark Crystal,
collected in a complete, premium hardcover for the first time!
Years have passed since the Dark Crystal was healed and peace was
restored on Thra. Though Jen and Kira have ruled as King and Queen,
they have become distracted by power. The planet is sick and those
on the surface of Thra are not the only ones affected. The new

Firelings living in Mithra, a realm near the planet’s core. Jen
and Kira’s greatest fear will be realized when the Crystal is
broken once more. The evil Skeksis will return, eager to regain
their cruel dominance over the world. But even as the Gelfling and
Skeksis battle for control of the Crystal Castle, Mithra pursues
its own agenda to restore its former power and glory. Caught in the
middle and on the run, a fireling named Thurma and a Gelfling named
Kensho will find themselves on a quest that holds the key to saving
both kingdoms… and lay bare the secret that connects their two
worlds Written by Simon Spurrier (Coda, Step By Bloody Step) and

illustrated by Kelly and Nichole Matthews (Just Beyond), The Power
of the Dark Crystal, the long awaited official sequel to the

"This is a terrific and instructive book, and an essential reminder
of how inspiring and empowering a good drama teacher can be. I hope
it’s read widely and that new generations of pupils and teachers
benefit from its wisdom and its verve." Nick Hytner Drama teaching
is at a critical juncture. With new qualifications in the market,
changes in government approach to the arts in education and
hundreds of thousands of students wanting to be part of the
country’s hugely successful performing arts industry, the
pressures on drama teachers are enormous. Many don't have a
specialist background in drama and theatre and end up taking on the
role of drama teacher; others feel disconnected from current
theatre practice because of the time-demands of teaching; plenty of
drama teachers feel they could be serving their students better, if
only they had the resources and the support. For all of those
teachers, this book will come as welcome relief. The Drama
Teacher’s Survival Guide provides support, inspirational ideas
and rock-solid guidance for secondary drama teachers. It outlines
the fundamental principles of a creative drama curriculum, and
looks at how teachers can facilitate this and deliver inspiring
lessons to fulfill the potential of their learners. It addresses
head-on the common and numerous challenges that drama teachers
face, from having to design their own creative curriculum to
understanding how students learn. The author's own advice and
expertise is supplemented by case studies, thereby collating and
offering up the best advice and experience available. Written by
Matthew Nichols, drama teacher for 12 years, this book offers a
range of strategies, case studies and methods that really work.

This book presents a series of essays exploring the cultural notion
that has come to be known as "Shakespeare." Shakespeare's
collaborators are not only those who were his contemporaries but
also those who have given new life to his works in a new garb, be
it a play, a theatre production, a film, a TV play, a novel, a
museum item, or a collection of illustrated strips.The collection
presents papers given at an international conference entitled
Shakespeare and His Collaborators over the Centuries, which took
place at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University (Brno, Czech
Republic) on February 8-11, 2006. The individual contributions deal
with the notion of collaborating with Shakespeare both in a literal
as well as figurative sense. The essays in the first section
discuss the literary and cultural milieus which were conducive to
the creation of Shakespeare's works. The second part discusses
early adaptations and variants of Shakespeare's plays while the
third section offers a broader range of artistic (as well as
idolatrous) repercussions of the Shakespearean canon.
