Crossing the Water
Off the coast of Cape Cod lies a small windswept island called Penikese. Alone on the island is a school for juvenile delinquents, the Penikese Island School, where Daniel Robb lived and worked for three years as a teacher. By turns harsh, desolate, and starkly beautiful, the island offers its temporary residents respite from lives filled with abuse, violence, and chaos. But as Robb discovers, peace, solitude, and a structured lifestyle can go only so far toward healing the anger and hurt he finds not only in his students but within himself. Lyrical and heartfelt, Crossing the Water is the memoir of his first eighteen months on Penikese, and a poignant meditation on the many ways that young men can become lost.
A Strange Proximity
What happens in the relationship between audience and performer? What choices are made in the space of performance about how we attend to others? A Strange Proximity examines stage presence as key to thinking about performance and ethics. It is the first phenomenological account of ethics generated from, rather than applied to, contemporary theatrical productions. The ethical possibilities of the stage, argues Jon Foley Sherman, rest not so much in its objects—the performers and the show itself—as in the “how” of attending to others. A Strange Proximity is a unique perspective on the implications of attention in performance.
Wilson Plays: 2
A second collection of plays from one of Britain's most original dramatists This second volume of plays includes Vampire: 'The height of comedy, a manic, hellzapoppin of invention, sliding from verbal frolics to pure slapstick' (The Times); The Glad Hand: 'A full-blooded theatrical experience which is also - praise be - good fun to watch. Its energetic, imaginative nonsense spills out ideas, situations, crises, comedy and political harangue in a fire-work display of non-sequitur, whiz-bang high spirits' (Sunday Telegraph); The Grass Widow: 'Hilariously confirms that Mr Wilson is the liveliest and most enlivening English dramatists of his generation' (Sunday Telegraph); Sabina: A typically surreal and unrestrained work ... wonderfully theatrical.' (Tribune) "Snoo Wilson tackles dark pockets of human endeavour with an original wit and a savage humour" (Financial Times).

Vision
Ognuno di noi ha una Visione di sé, della propria vita e di ciò che, giorno dopo giorno, voglia realizzare. Ma, il più delle volte, tutto questo rimane un sogno, un desiderio, una speranza. La Visione è oltre tutto questo. La Visione è. Siamo noi in continuo divenire, nella pienezza dell’autenticità personale, abitanti del posto che ci spetta nel mondo. In questo volume Alessandra Perotti ci conduce in un cammino di presa di coscienza della Visione attraverso l’uso della scrittura, strumento di eccellenza per acquisire sempre maggiore consapevolezza di noi stessi. Grazie ad una serie di sollecitazioni ed esercizi pratici che vanno a stimolare la memoria involontaria, riportiamo a galla aspetti salienti della nostra storia: non è attaccamento al passato ma analisi di un cammino fatto, di un vissuto che ci appartiene. Da qui, possiamo scrivere il nostro futuro, ponendo in essere le azioni necessarie, attivando mezzi e persone, creando situazioni favorevoli.
