Blood on the Corn: Uncovering the Assault Sites of my Toddlerhood
Author: Madeleine Watson
Publisher: Madeleine Watson
ISBN: 1005790280
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
On 26 October 2016, a horrific memory came up. I was fifty-one years old and living with my partner and two children. Throughout my life, I suffered depression, I couldn’t forge relationships and found life difficult. My childhood home was a cramped cottage with warring parents and little money coming in. I naturally explained my problems to this. Only this. What I didn’t realise was that an uncle lived in my toddlerhood home. His mention was scarce and I kept gleaning over this detail, thinking it irrelevant. It was his face I had seen in this memory. I have now come to realise I was raped at the age of three. I am horrified to think he had lived with us for so long. What else has he done to me? No wonder I constantly sought diversion. No wonder I suffered depression. I was trying to run away from myself. One diversion was a diary. A detailed one. My diary has enabled me to establish assault sites in the village, for Uncle Dan took me out in the pushchair. He then committed acts of rape on deserted roadsides. With my diaries, I have been able to journey into a past I didn’t know existed. The journey begins here. With illustrations and photographs.

Simon Stephens: A Working Diary
Author: Simon Stephens
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1474251439
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
2014 was a spectacular year for playwright Simon Stephens, who has been described by the Independent as 'a brilliant writer of immense imagination' and by the Financial Times as having 'emerged in this millennium as an outstanding playwright'. 2014 was a year for Simon Stephens which featured a high number of world premiere plays including one for the theatre of his birthplace, Manchester's Royal Exchange, a major new play for the Downstairs space at London's Royal Court, and a Chekhov translation for London's Young Vic; a transfer of his West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time to Broadway; and projects in Germany, a country which has seen Stephens lauded, in which he has worked extensively, and which has shaped much of his dramaturgy. In addition to these major projects, Stephens continued his role as a mentor of young writers, actors and directors, and continued to be one of the most frequent, outspoken and fiercely intelligent voices of the playwriting scene. In an exceptionally honest account, Simon Stephens opens up to us, through daily diary entries, his working practices, his inner-most thoughts, his philosophy on theatre, the arts and politics, and his feelings and reactions to specific projects he has worked on. Through this, we are given unprecedented access to the mind of one of the most important playwrights of the twenty-first century.

‘The most charming... portrait of this ever-popular artist... so enormously appealing: good-natured, bluntly told, skimmed with Yorkshire humour...
