Shakespeare and Amateur Performance
Author: Michael Dobson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139496816
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
From the Hamlet acted on a galleon off Africa to the countless outdoor productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream that now defy each English summer, Shakespeare and Amateur Performance explores the unsung achievements of those outside the theatrical profession who have been determined to do Shakespeare themselves. Based on extensive research in previously unexplored archives, this generously illustrated and lively work of theatre history enriches our understanding of how and why Shakespeare's plays have mattered to generations of rude mechanicals and aristocratic dilettantes alike: from the days of the Theatres Royal to those of the Little Theatre Movement, from the pioneering Winter's Tale performed in eighteenth-century Salisbury to the Merchant of Venice performed by Allied prisoners for their Nazi captors, and from the how-to book which transforms Mercutio into Yankee Doodle to the Napoleonic counterspy who used Richard III as a tool of surveillance.

Secrets. Lies. A man. There's always a man. And there's always a truth to be told. I'm Hailey Anne Monroe. I’m twenty-eight years old. An artist, who found her muse on the canvas because I wasn’t allowed to have friends or even keep a journal. And yes, if you haven’t guessed by now, I’m that Hailey Anne Monroe, daughter to Thomas Frank Monroe, the man who was a half-percentage point from becoming President of the United States. If you were able to ask him, he’d probably tell you that I was the half point. But you can’t ask him, and he can’t tell you. He’s dead. They’re all dead and now I can speak.

Book Description
Why is everyone hunting Megan Garrity? Charles Hill watched the smugglers' Zodiac carrying Megan and Nick Garrity speed through San Francisco Bay's frigid waters robbed of color by the reflecting dark of the evening sky. Megan was breaking into the government experiment that is Norcal, a place of massive social and scientific advancements. A place where her autistic son could thrive. Charles, charged with bringing Megan and Nick to safety, hadn't envisioned a high degree of difficulty on a simple recovery mission. If his reclusive employer had shared Megan's secret with Charles, he might have been able to prevent them from being hijacked by a vendetta driven blackhat hacker armed with a perpetually angry psychopath. Worse, Charles had no idea the hacker and hitman were under the direction of the unofficial, completely corrupt, King of Norcal. LUW Quill Award Winner "The action is unrelenting, characterization and intrigue well done...High-octane adventure with nonstop twists and turns." Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer "Filled with characters easy to love or hate depending on your ethical quotient. Bill Garwin has set in a virtual feast of action, adventure, mayhem, murder, kidnapping, extortion, corruption, revelations, recriminations, hacking, hijinks, and hubris in his impressively imaginative novel, City of Schemes."

Cibolero
Author: Kermit Lopez
Publisher: iUniverse

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
For years, Antonio Baca lived the wandering and restless life of a Cibolero, or buffalo hunter, following the great herds that roamed the endless Llano Estacado-the high plains of a region that would one day be New Mexico. After marrying and settling down, Baca has finally found a modicum of peace in the home he built for his growing family. But Baca witnesses the transformation of Nuevo Mexico from an isolated colonial outpost of the Spanish empire to a province of the newly independent nation of Mexico and, finally, to a land conquered by the avaricious Americanos. Following the United States's seizure of New Mexico, Antonio and his countrymen find themselves treated as foreigners and second-class citizens in their own land. When his daughter, Elena, is kidnapped by a band of invading Texas Rangers after the American Civil War, Baca desperately tracks them across the llano of New Mexico and into Texas using his skills as a Cibolero. Terrified for his daughter's safety, he plunges into the world of the gringos, and discovers just how much the Americanos have changed his homeland. But as the days pass without any sign of Elena, Baca fears for her life-and his own.

When Hannah and her boyfriend, Simon, set out to Amsterdam, they’re confident that they’ll make it to his sister’s wedding in time. However, unbeknownst to them, their train is scheduled to divide in the middle of the night. And when it does, half of it continues the route to Amsterdam. And the other half—the one with Hannah in it—heads three hundred miles away, to Paris.
