Book Description
After their in-performance deaths, six female Shakespearean characters find themselves in a holding area until the play they are a character in gets revived by another Shakespeare company so that they can (re)live their tragedy over (and over) again. It's a comic romp that evokes Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" meets Luigi Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author" meets "Monty Python's Flying Circus."

Engines of Eloquence
Author: Sandy Cunningham
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244472734
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
- 'Are we not here now;' - continued the corporal, 'and are we not' - (dropping his hat plumb upon the ground - and pausing, before he pronounced the word) - 'gone! in a moment?' The descent of the hat was as if a heavy lump of clay had been kneaded into the crown of it. - Nothing could have expressed the sentiment of mortality, of which it was the type and forerunner, like it, - his hand seemed to vanish from under it - it fell dead... Ye who govern this mighty world and its mighty concerns with the engines of eloquence [...] meditate, I beseech you, upon Trim's hat. The subject of this book grew naturally, over many years, from Sandy's academic work, especially that on Pope, Swift, and Johnson, and some versions of it have appeared in essay form or as chapters in earlier publications.
