One long summer two friends discover that their fantasy worlds are becoming a bit real, and that the real world has got rather fantastic until no-one is really sure which is which. For the next twenty years they try to recapture that summer and their imaginary enchanted woodlands in a Great Work of Art. Too bad they keep getting distracted and going to the pub. As well as taking you for a gentle ramble through their fantasy worlds, King of the Woods will teach you the secret art of making very loud explosions, you will meet the Thorn Witch who dances with the winds, a fox who is probably also a Prince and is in love with an Ice Maiden, an Austin Mini 850 held together with string and a Land Rover that hates roads, a life size working clockwork model of Jean Paul Satre and the worst heavy metal band in the West Midlands. King of the Woods is silly, mysterious, elegiac and a love story, though neither of the protagonists would ever admit it to each other.

The ancient Indian epic poem Ramayana has been disseminated throughout large tracts of Southeast Asia since the 9th century. Versions of the epic poem have come to adopt and reflect the unique characteristics of the countries and regions where it has gained cultural currency. The epic has been a source of popular themes in both traditional and contemporary art forms, including literature, performing arts, fine arts, and films. This book showcases Ramayana theater as a platform where the multiple meanings and senses of values are negotiated. It focuses on the relationships between the cultural representation and the various meanings of Ramayana theater, as well as other dramatic art forms. Fo...

Warriors of Fire

Young firefighters were forced to become hardened veterans almost overnight when serving in New York City during the politically charged decades of the 1960's and 1970's. The day-to-day dangers we firefighters endured together produced the highest degree of bonding that one can imagine. As "family," we shared the love, and laughter, as well as the tears of each other's personal tragedies. This book also tells how we, as firefighters, shared in the anguish felt by the innocent victims and their families. Fighting accidental fires was a tough enough job, but the embattled firefighters of our city's ghettos had to put up with the politically motivated burnings of buildings on the campuses of so...

First published in 2006. This book by Stephen Graham is a supremely unique take on travel through Russia and the Caucasus. Graham takes to the road in a modest fashion, with a bag and his camera at his side. As he arrives in Moscow not long after the Russian Revolution in 1917 he is not welcomed with open arms. Instead, Graham is greeted by a group of soldiers as he walks down the street and is arrested. He recounts this experience, as well as every moment of his time spent 'vagabonding' across the Caucasus with glorious detail. His photographs to accompany the text capture the fleeting moments of this politically heated time in Russia with candid accuracy. This momentous work is not to be overlooked by anyone interested in travel or history, or anyone with a taste for an unconventional account of the land of the Caucasus.

“It’s all rather confusing, really” was one of the catchphrases used by Spike Milligan in his ground-breaking radio comedy program The Goon Show. In a series of mock-epics broadcast over the course of a decade, Milligan treated listeners to a cosmology governed by confusion, contradictions, fluidity and uncertainty. In The Goon Show’s universe, time and space expand and contract seemingly at will and without notice. The worldview featured in The Goon Show looked both backward and forward: backward, in the sense that it paralleled strategies used by schoolchildren to understand time and space; forward, in the ways it anticipated and prefigured a number of key features of postmodern thought. Winner of the Ann Saddlemyer Award 2017 of the Canadian Association for Theatre Research.
