Present Laughter
At the centre of his own universe sits matinee idol Garry Essendine: suave, hedonistic and too old, says his wife, to be having numerous affairs. His line in harmless, infatuated debutantes is largely tolerated but playing closer to home is not. Just before he escapes on tour to Africa the full extent of his misdemeanours is discovered. And all hell breaks loose. Noël Coward's Present Laughter premiered in the early years of the Second World War just as such privileged lives were threatened with fundamental social change. This edition of the play is published to coincide with the National Theatre's production running from September 2007. The text features an introduction that considers the directorial decisions and interpretation in the National's production.
De Filippo Four Plays
Plays by one of Italy's greatest dramatists Eduardo de Filippo was one of Italy's leading popular dramatists, a fearless social critic, a supreme man of the theatre, and a humane and compassionate writer. The four plays in this volume present different facets of his prolific output, which focused on the lives of the Neapolitan people, their dubious cunning nourished by centuries of hunger, their fantasies and their love of life. The Local Authority, Grand Magic and Filumena Marturano are translated by Carlo Ardito, and Napoli Milionaria was translated by Peter Tinniswood for the Royal National Theatre's production in 1991.
Sweet Sally Lunn
Sally Lunn was famous for her coffee-house in early eighteenth-century Bath. This is a fictionalised account of her life, full of love, passion, danger and her sheer tenacity for life.
Who's who in the Theatre
Issues for 1914-67 include "Notable productions and important revivals of the London stage from the earliest times."
Women Writers Dramatized
This volume, arranged alphabetically by original author, provides basic information about stage and screen productions based upon the novels of 40 women writers before 1900. Each entry includes the novel and its publication date, the published texts or dramatizations based upon the book, and the performances of the piece in live theater and film versions, including the location, dates, and playwright or screenwriter (if there was one). For some of the performances the author includes a brief annotation listing the actors and describing the production.
Digital Audiobooks
Audiobooks are rapidly gaining popularity with widely accessible digital downloading and streaming services. This book engages with the digital form of audiobooks, framing audiobook listening as both a remediation of literature and an everyday activity that creates new reading experiences that can be compared to listening to music or the radio. Have and Stougaard Pedersen challenge the historical notion that audiobook listening is a compensatory activity or a second-rate reading experience, while seeking to establish a dialogue between sound studies and media studies, comparative literature, aesthetics, and sociology.
Snap Happy
Juno is voluptuous, hedonistic, funny and terminally untidy. The last thing she needs is an up-tight, teetotal flatmate but that's what she gets. Her brother has sent his American pal to use their London flat and this recipe for disaster turns into an unlikely romance.
Rosemary for Remembrance
It looked to Detective Chief Inspector Jack Finch like a classic murder case of the blunt instrument wielded with considerable force and deadly intention. Though why was the sprig of rosemary clenched in the dead man's right hand in a final death spasm?
