Portrait of Jenny
An oil painting, The Portrait of Jenny, divides two brothers in life and two sisters in death. The brothers, one a priest and one a physician, each vie for the love of Jenny, one of the sisters. The priest unknowingly paints his love into Jenny's portrait. Then to prove that he loves God more, the priest joins the Vatican in Rome. The physician meanwhile yields to whims and marries Jenny, having amassed a great fortune by modifying growth hormones until they engender perpetual youth, perhaps opening the door to the Holy Grail. On the other side of the world where the Pope is dying from cancer, Father Anthony Cochran strives to thwart secular forces from swaying the next Papal election. An in...

Community Theatre
Community theatre is an important device for communities to collectively share stories, to participate in political dialogue, and to break down the increasing exclusion of marginalised groups of citizens. It is practised all over the world by growing numbers of people. Published at the same time as a video of the same name, this is a unique record of these theatre groups in action. Based on van Erven's own travels and experiences working with community theatre groups in six very different countries, this is the first study of their work and the methodological traditions which have developed around the world.

Torch Singing
In this innovative book, Stacy Holman Jones presents torch singing as a much more complicated phenomenon than the familiar trope of a woman lamenting her victimhood. With an ethnographer's eye, she observes the bluesy torch singers, asking if they are possibly performing critiques of the very lyrics they sing. From this perspective, we see the singer giving expression not not only to desire but also to an incipient determination to resist and change. Holman Jones also reveals points of contact in the opposition between spectators and performers, emotion and intellect, and love and power. Instead of interpreting the expression of love as a woman's violent mistake—as willing deception and passive fate—Holman Jones allows us to hear an active search for hope.
