#DistractionAction: Volume 1
Love, death, depression, humor, and hip-hop are some of the major inspirations for this collection of short stories, poems, anecdotes, and general musings. Featuring fan favorites "Sadness," "Pass The Super Salad," and "Suicide's Seduction" among others. Told in a unique literary voice, this is the first book from newly acclaimed author Robert Ormsby and is sure to offer the reader plenty of action for their own distractions.
Coriolanus
This book is a study of twenty stage productions, adaptations and screen versions of Shakespeare’s final Roman play. It makes available for the first time sustained discussions of major productions of the play in four languages and five countries, and explores how Shakespeare’s most political drama has been shaped to circumstances radically different from its original early modern staging. The book offers in-depth analyses of Coriolanus productions covering the post-war era to the twenty-first century, combining close readings of documents and historical contextualisation to productions by the BBC, the Berliner Ensemble, The Katona József Theatre in communist Hungary, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Britain’s National Theatre, The New York Shakespeare Festival, Robert Lepage, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Ralph Fiennes’ major motion picture. This volume will be of interest to a wide range of readers, including specialists, graduate students and undergraduates studying both Coriolanus and the history of Shakespearean performance.
#DistractionAction
If you were to look at everything that I've published over the last few years, I think we'd agree- #DistractionAction is a celebration of depression and #DistractionPassion is a tribute to obsessions. But then... What is this book and where does it fit in amongst the rest of them? Some of these stories and poems are pieces that I'm quite proud of, and I feel like they represent the best of what I do as a writer. Though they've been published in other places, I wanted to give you the best that I have to offer in a single volume of work and I guess you could say many of these are what I would consider to be "my greatest hits." Some of these stories and poems are pieces that I wrote and held on...
Shakespeare and Tourism
Shakespeare and Tourism provides a dialogical mapping of Shakespeare studies and touristic theory through a collection of essays by scholars on a wide range of material. This volume examines how Shakespeare tourism has evolved since its inception, and how the phenomenon has been influenced and redefined by performance studies, the prevalence of the World Wide Web, developments in technology, and the globalization of Shakespearean performance. Current scholarship recognizes Shakespearean tourism as a thriving international industry, the result of centuries of efforts to attribute meanings associated with the playwright’s biography and literary prestige to sites for artistic pilgrimage and the consumption of cultural heritage. Through bringing Shakespeare and tourism studies into more explicit contact, this collection provides readers with a broad base for comparisons across time and location, and thereby encourages a thorough reconsideration of how we understand both fields.
