IN THE GLAMOROUS WORLD OF THE THEATER, THEY WERE GIFTED, HOPEFUL, AND HUNGRY FOR FAME… KATHY, whose brilliant performances rose like fire from her soul; LAUREN, regal, golden-voiced, fleeing a desperate past; MELANIE, sophisticated and sexy, prey to every temptation; DAVID, driven by pride and passion; PAULA, searching for love, afraid of success, hoarding her talent like a hidden treasure; MIKE, slipping from mask to mask, the stage his only home… Together they shared the magic of rehearsals and opening nights, of love and heartache and grand ambition…bursting from the safe cocoon of the college drama club to struggle, suddenly alone, for the spotlight. For two decades, from New York to London to L.A., they held on to their dreams, playing the starving actor or flying high on movie deals and cocaine, marrying rich or making fortunes, far from the bright lights.

The Inequalities
Author: Alexander Zeldin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350271780
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
'He is a Chekhov of our time: holding his characters with as much humanity, compassion, humor and love - but without holding back his scathing indictment of deeply entrenched, systemic injustices and inequities.' - David Schwimmer The Inequalities combines three plays from British author and director Alexander Zeldin into a trilogy that tells new stories of love, compassion and resilience for our time of austerity. Contextualised with an essay before each play and an in-depth interview with the author, Zeldin's three pieces present intimate stories of work, home and community in a radical form of realism. Written after extensive research across the United Kingdom, and involving people affected by the central themes of the plays, The Inequalities goes beyond social chronicle, achieving a timeless portrait of humanity under duress. This is theatre that goes behind the mirror of our time to reveal the core of the collective human experience of being alive. Beyond Caring: “This desolate, quietly intense devised drama gets under your skin and into your bones... unforgettable.” (The Times) LOVE: "Gripping, amusing, uncomfortable, desperately moving. Zeldin shows us friction...but also kindness and dignity and lots of love without turning sugary." (The Times) Faith, Hope and Charity: "This is that rare thing: a necessary play that suggests Zeldin has taken on the role of the Victorian Henry Mayhew in compassionately documenting the lives of the urban poor." (The Guardian)

Like A Boss
Author: Adam Rakunas
Publisher: Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.
ISBN: 1625676093
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 471
Book Description
In the incendiary sequel to Windswept, two-fisted labor organizer Padma Mehta’s worst nightmare comes true: she gets yanked out of early retirement. Up to her eyeballs in debt, Padma learns that her archenemy Evanrute Saarien has gotten out of prison and started a church with one doctrine: strike. The Union President comes to Padma with an offer she can’t refuse: stop the strike, and her trillion-yuan debt will be forgiven. Will she succeed? Of course not. But she’ll go down swinging... Newly reissued, this Author's Preferred Edition features essays, stories, and a second recipe for chicken tacos even better than the first. Praise for Like A Boss: “Like A Boss is one of those rare, perfect novels that somehow packs huge ideas into a story that is simultaneously wildly speculative and completely digestible. Like A Boss lives up to its name. A masterwork of big ideas, perfectly executed.”– Ted Kosmatka, author of The Flicker Men “The moment I began reading this, I immediately had to put the book down. I was simply too sick with envy at Adam’s talent.” — Madeline Ashby, acclaimed author of vN and iD “Like A Boss is a laugh-in-your-face rejection of grimdark cynicism and cyberpunk dystopia. It’s a flag-waving, singing-out-loud celebration of people doing the right thing even though it will be hard (and conscious of the cost to themselves), because they know it’s the right thing to do, damn it. It’s a celebration of hope and trust and community. I loved it.” – X + 1 “It’s gloriously entertaining SF. Better yet, it’s positive, hopeful, idealistic SF.” — One More “Near the climax of Like A Boss [Padma] delivers a little economic speech that makes as strong a case for unions that I’ve read this year.” — The Seattle Review of Books

Ritual Journeys in South Asia
Author: Christoph Bergmann
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351679503
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
This book focuses on the ritualized forms of mobility that constitute phenomena of pilgrimage in South Asia and establishes a new analytical framework for the study of ritual journeys. The book advances the conceptual scope of ‘classical’ Pilgrimage Studies and provides empirical depth through individual case studies. A key concern is the strategies of ritualization through which actors create, assemble and (re-)articulate certain modes of displacement to differentiate themselves from everyday forms of locomotion. Ritual journeys are understood as being both productive of and produced by South Asia’s socio-economically uneven, politically charged and culturally variegated landscapes. From various disciplinary angles, each chapter explores how spaces and movements in space are continually created, contested and transformed through ritual journeys. By focusing on this co-production of space and mobility, the book delivers a conceptually driven and empirically grounded engagement with the diverse and changing traditions of ritual journeying in South Asia. Interdisciplinary in its approach, the book is a must-have reference work for academics interested in South Asian Studies, Religious Studies, Anthropology and Human Geography with a focus on pilgrimage and the socio-spatial ideas and practices of ritualized movements in South Asia.
