Fond of a Double Entendre . . . Obviously
Author: Cormac G. McDermott
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1466946601
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Laughs abound on every page as author Cormac G. McDermott presents this collection of jokes and double entendres with wit and verve. He builds jokes around small nuggets of information, culminating in punch lines that shock, amaze, and tickle the funny bone. From sports to music, from food to the business world, no subject is off limits. Youll never look at the English language the same way again. A friend said to me, I love Mars bars. I quipped, Public houses on the Red Planet are Mars bars also, but if you and your mates were to consume a bar or two of chocolate, it probably wouldnt lead to you ending up getting involved in a sing-song with aliens! It makes me laugh when I hear people describing something easy as being like stealing candy from a baby. If you were to try take one of those hash lollipops they sell in Amsterdam away from Biffa Bacons Rastafarian six-month-old, it might be a totally different proposition altogether!

Book Description
South Africa has a uniquely rich and diverse theatre tradition which has responded energetically to the country's remarkable transition, helping to define the challenges and contradictions of this young democracy. This volume considers the variety of theatre forms, and the work of the major playwrights and theatre makers producing work in democratic South Africa. It offers an overview of theatre pioneers and theatre forms in Part One, before concentrating on the work of individual playwrights in Part Two.

Part One offers six overview chapters on South African theatre pioneers and theatre forms. These include consideration of the work of artists such as Barney Simon, Mbongeni Ngema, Phyllis Klotz; the collaborations of William Kentridge and the Handspring Puppet Company; the work of Magnet Theatre, and of physical and popular community theatre forms. Part Two features chapters on twelve major playwrights, including Athol Fugard, Reza de Wet, Lara Foot, Zakes Mda, Yaël Farber, Mpumelelo Paul Grootboom, Mike van Graan and Brett Bailey. It includes a survey of emerging playwrights and significant plays, and the book closes with an interview with Aubrey Sekhabi, the Artistic Director of the South African State Theatre in Pretoria.

Durban Dialogues Dissected
Author: Felicity Hand
Publisher: African Sun Media
ISBN: 1928357644
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the work of Indian South African playwright Ashwin Singh, which, through the diversity of characters from all ethnic backgrounds, forges an inclusive South African identity. The essays in this volume show how Singh’s plays bring South Africa’s blatant prejudices and social ills to the forefront as only by confronting unpleasant realities can any far-reaching changes actually take place. The academics and cultural practitioners who have contributed to this volume approach Singh’s work from a variety of angles, ranging from history, psychology and experimental literary forms to the performance of the plays, the relevance of the stage directions and the symbiotic relationship between the playwright and the director. The contrast between the climate of optimistic political protest and the complacency and disillusion of the new democratic era is seen to reassess the actions of the past in the light of present outcomes.
