Book Description
Silent film starlet Mary Margaret is alone in her Hollywood bungalow, about to kill herself. A former Shakespearean stage actor, now a drunken silent movie leading man with a bad reputation, calls on her and tries to convince her to face life. In the course of their hilarious conflict, images of the actor's past emerge. His efforts to help Mary Margaret live force him to deal with his own demons and find a way to cope with the terrible secret that eats away at him like the cannibal Laestrygonians in Homer's Odyssey. Funny and rich in character and language, this powerful and unusual love story, part of the Pendragon series of plays, is rich with great audition monologues and scenes. Don Nigro's followers will recognize some of the characters from Chronicles, Anima Mundi, Beast with Two Backs, Autumn Leaves and Dramatis Personae--all plays from his series Pendragon Plays

Banana Man
Author: Ray Comfort
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781525258473
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
"What do you do when the world's most famous atheist mocks and insults you on international television, in universities, and throughout social media? You look to the Bible and see how Joseph was humiliated before the time came when God opened a big door of opportunity for him, and how Moses was abased before God opened a big sea for him. You take comfort in the Scriptures-in the knowledge that those who trusted God were often the object of ''cruel mockings,'' and in the principle of humiliation before promotion, of God taking someone low before raising them up for His use. And that's precisely what happened when Ray Comfort was christened ''Banana Man'' by Professor Richard Dawkins and then mocked worldwide by the atheist community. It was then that something strange and wonderful began to happen. Millions came under the sound of the everlasting gospel, all because of that humiliating name: Banana Man. So if you're afraid of looking foolish as a Christian, this true story not only will fascinate, delight, and encourage you, it will help you to see God's hand in your life and bring your own fears into perspective. Endorsement quotes: ''What an appealing story! Banana Man will show how you can bear sweet and lasting fruit in this often hostile world.'' -David and Jason Benham ''I can't eat a banana anymore without thinking of Ray.''"

The Magic Tower and Other One-Act Plays
Author: Tennessee Williams
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811225712
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
A wonderful collection of never-before-collected one-acts: “The peak of my virtuosity was in the one- act plays. Some of which are like firecrackers in a rope” (Tennessee Williams). Here are portraits of American life during the Great Depression and after, populated by a hopelessly hopeful chorus girl, a munitions manufacturer ensnared in a love triangle, a rural family that deals “justice” on its children, an overconfident mob dandy, a poor couple who quarrel to vanquish despair, a young “spinster” enthralled by the impulse of rebellion, and, in “The Magic Tower,” a passionate artist and his wife whose youth and optimism are not enough to protect their “dream marriage.” This new volume gathers some of Williams’s most exuberant early work and includes one-acts that he would later expand to powerful full-length dramas: “The Pretty Trap,” a cheerful take on The Glass Menagerie, and “Interior: Panic,” a stunning precursor to A Streetcar Named Desire. The plays include: • At Liberty • The Magic Tower • Me, Vashya • Curtains for the Gentleman • In Our Profession • Every Twenty Minutes • Honor the Living • The Case of the Crushed Petunias • Moony’s Kid Don’t Cry • The Dark Room • The Pretty Trap • Interior: Panic • Kingdom of Earth • I Never Get Dressed Till After Dark on Sundays • Some Problems for The Moose Lodge

Book Description
In Greenwich Village in the late 1920s Al, an artist, moves into a rooming house on Macdougal Street and finds himself being pulled deeper and deeper into the lives of its inhabitants.
