I'll admit, Marat/Sade is one of the most complex plays ever written, but it is a dream for any actor! I'm currently playing the Marquis de Sade in the play, and i've never been so challeneged in all my life! For the majority of the roles, not only do you need to play the character, you need to play the inmate of a lunatic asylum playing the character! For example, the inmate playing Jean-Paul Marat suffers from Paranoia, which must be taken into consideration during characterisation. If you want to get the essence of the play, watch the DVD of Peter Brook's highly acclaimed RSC production. However, the play is so personal and powerful, the DVD does it no justice. Although the english translation still holds the power and Artaudian beauty ... Read More: >>More Details |

Book number two (chronologically speaking) in the Narnia series, is somewhat more patronising and irritating than The Magician's Nephew which I reviewed a few months ago. Perhaps that's understandable, given that this one was written first and was his first book written for children. While the christian crap is more evident in this one, it is still not particularly distinguishable from any other mythology. My verdict is the same as for The Magician's Nephew: you should own a copy. And your children should own copies.

The Siege was commissioned by schools from across the Uk, when they decided that there was a noticable lack of good plays for teenagers with a reasonable but not restricting cast size. The story follows the Swados Family, living in the city of Arden which is taken under siege by the neibouring town of Dower. Some people turn to drugs, others to the church, others find their own ways of coping with daily life. Follow the struggle of the family and their fellow citizens in a play which has everything. It can be done with a cast of anything from 25 to 300+ with opportunity for solo songs and large chorus numbers. There are over 40 named parts, which can be doubled and trebled if need be, and most can be played by either males or females. There ... Read More: >>More Details |

Blackbird Singing: Poems and Lyrics, 1965-1999by: Paul McCartney May 01, 2001 |

It is my practice to review poetry books based on the first reading, which I consider the 'heart' reading rather than after subsequent readings - the 'learned' reading, where one uncoils the riddled intricacy of the writing and its associated histories. I feel the heart reading is more important because it tells me that the poet's emotions are alive in the writing rather than just some remote intellect creating puzzles. For me Heaney's genius will always lie in the twisting and turning of language and his marvellous insight. While I abhor Greco-Roman myth and name dropping in Modern Poetry, Heaney doesn't overdo it and this collection may not be his best, but it doesn't disappoint. The entry into each poem at a point where you feel you missed something ... Read More:

The Government Inspector (Methuen Student Editions) (Student Editions)by: N.V. Gogol August 07, 2003 |
||
|
I'd love to see the play. I had to play the characters in my head complete with my own invented facial expressions. A brief synopsis: A town's chief officials learn that a government inspector is in town. Worried that he is about to discover their mismanagement of affairs they set about trying to bribe him so he gives a favourable report back in St. Petersburg. Well from there the story descends into farce as the townsfolk outdo each other trying to get the inspector's ear. The best part is at the end - terribly funny if you can act it all out in your head.
