A timeless, little-known literary classic. As the Black Death
ravaged London in 1608, the theatres closed, many people moved out
of town for safety, and playwrights scrambled to find other outlets
for their talent. While Shakespeare retreated to his hometown of
Stratford, Thomas Dekker wrote Four Birds of Noah's Ark, a book
containing fifty-six prayers for the people of London and all of
England. Dekker's prayers bear witness to his deep faith and
profound understanding of human psychology with a power and
poignancy that few written prayers in English literature achieve.
Bringing this devotional classic back into print for the first time
since 1924, editor Robert Hudson has included a fine introduction,
annotated the prayers, and modernised the language without
sacrificing any of its beauty and simplicity. This lovely book at
once surprises and enchants with its literary voice, devotional
heart, and accessible writing.
A hilarious city comedy by the authors of A Mad World, My Masters
and The Shoemaker's Holiday. Sebastian has a problem. He's in love
with a girl but his father won't agree to their marriage. In
desperation he turns to the one person who can help him, the
fearless and feisty 'roaring girl' Moll Cutpurse. In a London
fuelled by greed and desire, the charismatic, cross-dressing
heroine Moll has the world wrapped around her little finger, and
she has a plan. Cutting a joyously independent path through the
underhand scheming and petty vendettas of the London underworld,
Moll proves more than a match for any man. This Prompt Book edition
of The Roaring Girl was published alongside the Royal Shakespeare
Company's revival of the play in 2014, and features the text edited
for the RSC production, and introductions by key members of its
creative team.
At the center of this remarkable 1621 play is the story of
Elizabeth Sawyer, the titular "Witch of Edmonton," a woman who had
in fact been executed for the crime of witchcraft mere months
before the play's first performance. Yet hers is only one of
several plots that animate The Witch of Edmonton. Blending
sensational drama with domestic tragedy and comic farce, this
complex and multi-layered play by Dekker, Ford, and Rowley
emphasizes the mundane realities and interpersonal conflicts that
are so often at the heart of sensational occurrences. This edition
of their work offers a compelling and informative introduction,
thorough annotation, and a selection of contextual materials that
helps set the play in the context of the "witch-craze" of Jacobean
England.
Fievel and friends are back in this third animated adventure. The
chirpy mouse sets out to help Mr Mouskewitz escape the drudgery of
the Fat Rats' factory, setting out with Tony and Tiger the pussycat
to find their fortune with a magical treasure map.
