TV Drama in China
This collection of essays brings together the first comprehensive study of TV drama in China. Examining in depth the production, distribution and consumption of TV drama, the international team of experts demonstrate why it remains the pre-eminent media form in China. The examples are diverse, highlighting the complexity of producing narrative content in a rapidly changing political and social environment. Genres examined include the revisionist Qing drama, historical and contemporary domestic dramas, anti-corruption dramas, "pink" dramas, Red Classics, stories from the Diaspora, and sit-coms. In addition to genres, the collection explores industry dynamics: how TV dramas are marketed and consumed on DVD, and China's aspirations to export its television drama rights. The book provides an international and cross-cultural perspective with chapters on Taiwanese TV drama in China, the impact of South Korean drama, and trans-border production between the Mainland and Hong Kong.
The Travellers
In The Travellers the absurdity of life - a world without God and joy - is brought to consciousness through the encounters of Alvin, Cecil and Blair at a train station. It is underpinned by the philosophy of atheistic existentialism as depicted in works by Samuel Becket, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet, Harold Pinter and Edward Albee. The Travellers is a play in three acts which has all the features of absurd plays - with the absurdist formula of (aclp2t) + (afi2lms) + (tc) - action is reduced - characters are reduced - language is reduced - plot is reduced - place is reduced - the sense of alienation, fear, isolation, insecurity, loneliness, mystery and suspense - and the tragic-comic scenes - nothing is happening - but everything is happening.

To start with, anyway, then later I expect she'll also be doing her usual trick of linking together two or more garments by twisting the ends around each other. JIM: Oh, you mean she'll be ... STEPHEN: Nottingham. Of course she has been known to make a complete pig's ear of what previously were perfectly good items of clothing. JIM: Oh, so she ... STEPHEN: Wrexham, yes. The Grand Tour of the British Isles, from which that excerpt comes, is one of this six-part comedy series written with radio in mind but where the individual episodes could be presented as part of a theatre company's comedy night. From place names to people and from songs to stars, this is a feast of wordplay to satisfy even the hungriest stomachs. What are you waiting for? Tuck in

They slowly live through the rise of the band from indie darlings to stadium-filling megastars. But all this is done through made up press articles and imagined scenarios. However, all is not right. Clair hears voices and struggles to cope in a world where stabbings are a regular occurrence. She also has to deal with an abusive boss. Her world starts to crumble as the layers of fantasy are slowly peeled away, leaving her wondering who she actually is. This is a story of friendship, of ambition, of identity, of abuse, of survival.
