Stagecraft
Actor and author Tom Flagg was talking with a fellow actor, backstage in the greenroom. During their discussion about old movies, Mr. Flagg mentioned 1940s film star Tyrone Power. To Tom's dismay, this friend, and other cast members in their show, had never heard of Tyrone Power, or many of the other stage and film stars who created Show Business history. Then and there, Tom had the idea for this book: To provide young actors with a strong background in theatrical history, as well as training in some of the skills that will help actors get work. STAGECRAFT: A Primer for Young Actors is a valuable resource for anyone considering the acting profession, as well as those who are already in Show Business.About the AuthorTom Flagg was born and raised in Canton, Ohio, where he got his first taste of theater at the tender age of five, in a grade school Christmas pageant. During High School, Tom's first professional theater job was in Columbus, Ohio with the renowned Kenley Players, where he worked as an apprentice, technical director, and stage manager. Tom soon moved to New York City, to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and get started on his future in Show Business. His first professional acting job was at a small, Summer Stock theater in Upstate New York. That summer he also met his soon-to-be wife, Jane, and they've been a theatrical romance ever since. Over his career, Tom has appeared in tours, film, TV, Off-Broadway, and Broadway...his dream come true.

New age Old lie
As we stand at the checkout counter, we buy our children comic books. On the way out of the store, we stop and rent a movie. On date night, we go to the theatre, sit down with a bag of popcorn, and watch the screen as it comes alive with Batman, Iron man and Aqua man, the defenders of the human race. We listen to pop music and take yoga classes. We enroll in holistic cleansing seminars and burn incense while holding crystals to meditate. All of these things seem harmless enough however, they bring with them dangerous pitfalls that can snare even the most dedicated Christian. Learn to understand the New age Movement and recognize the dark underworld that hides in the shadows. Hidden in the commerce of consumer products is a deceiver stealing your attention away from God.

The Osterwald Liederbuch
"... the more one listens to this music the more clear it seems that the intimate alchemy binding these words and music together is potentiated by nothing less than love - however one chooses to understand that word. Irrespective of further biographical considerations, and on musical grounds alone, this symbiotic relationship places the Franz-Osterwald collaboration as one of the most fascinating in the history of the German lied and, until now, one of the most underestimated." - Graham Johnson. Robert Franz composed fifty-one varied and contrasting settings of love poems written by his close friend, Karl Wilhelm Osterwald, collected here for the first time in a new edition. The songs hint at the "deep passion" of 1837-1846, noted by Liszt. The themes of shame, secrecy, and self-sacrifice, make these bold, lyrical songs unique in the genre of 19th century German lieder. This illustrated volume also contains a fascinating body of new research, translations, discography and appendix of associated works.
Bled Dry
Vampire films have not only enthralled and terrified audiences for decades, they also represent one of the oldest subgenres within the world of horror. A subgenre that exhibits a rich tapestry of depth and history like no other, and a creature that has managed to evolve and survive for over one hundred years on film. The vampire represents a primal fear within all of us, a fear that both captivates and terrifies. Sometimes flawed, these cursed immortals were once just like us, and this is perhaps the true appeal after so much time. The shapeshifter can enter the perceived safety of our existence through skilled manipulation and deceit, while offering the victim something they will find hard to resist and eventually succumb to. They are arguably the most skilled and intelligent of all horror villains, and it is of no surprise that they have managed to hold our attention for decades.

Per un mondo migliore
Non stupisce ormai la belligeranza degli uomini, bramosi di potere, ricchezza e dominio, che preferiscono scontrarsi piuttosto che accordarsi fra loro per lo sfruttamento delle risorse o per l'estensione dei confini. Spesso vi hanno influito gli eventi idrogeologici, per i disastri che ne derivavano, ma anche le religioni, per le divinit? che decidevano. Per le logiche perverse di grandiosit? e odio razziale non si esitava a compiere genocidi; inoltre le teorie politiche, varate per risolvere i malcontenti, sovente avevano esiti tragici. Tutto questo nonostante la caducit? esistenziale. Questo saggio permette al lettore di comprendere che i problemi del mondo hanno un'origine ben definita, cui si pu簷 pervenire per risolverli. Ton Milan ha scritto quattro saggi, due romanzi e una raccolta di liriche.

Representations of HIV and AIDS
What happened to the plague of HIV/AIDS that once seemed so threatening? Gabriele Griffin argues that the explosion of HIV/AIDS into highly visible cultural forms, from movies, theatre, activist interventions, and art from the late-1980s to the mid-1990s has been replaced by a retreat to artisitic invisibility. Griffin suggests that changes in the understanding of HIV/AIDS, the shift from "dying of the disease" to "living with it" in Western cultures, and a failure to grasp the full extent of the growth and impact of HIV/AIDS in a number of African and Asian countries has led to the "death" of the disease in the Western media.

Directing Scenes and Senses
As European theatre directors become a familiar presence on international stages and a new generation of theatre makers absorbs their impulses, this study develops fresh perspectives on Regie, the Continental European tradition of staging playtexts. Leaving behind unhelpful clich矇s that pit, above all, the director against the playwright, Peter M. Boenisch stages playful encounters between Continental theatre and Continental philosophy. The contemporary Regie work of Thomas Ostermeier, Frank Castorf, Ivo van Hove, Guy Cassiers, tg STAN, and others, here meets the works of Friedrich Schiller and Leopold Jessner, Hegelian speculative dialectics, and the critical philosophy of Jacques Ranci癡re and Slavoj Zizek in order to explore the thinking of Regie - how to think Regie, and how Regie thinks.

Hepcats & Rockabilly Boys
In the 1950s, country music merged with the rising new fad called "rock and roll" to form what would become known as "Rockabilly." In short, Rockabilly was fast paced, guitar and bass driven ditties with thundering rhythms. The songs were often less than memorable made up with a conglomeration of silly lyrics and phrases like "bop,""shake,""mama," and"go cat!" Cars, especially Cadillacs, and colors, pink and black, were prevalent in many of the songs. Songs like "Oobie Doobie," "Ubangi Stomp," "Be Boppin' Baby," and "Rockin' In the Congo" were common record chart contenders. Many up and coming country crooners would go on to achieve widespread acclaim as names like Presley, Holly and Orbison conquered radio station playlists. They, among others, would become R&R legends. Others like Jack Scott, Boyd Bennett, and Dale Hawkins, found success to a lesser degree in the new genre. It's many of these "lesser knowns" that Hepcats & Rockabilly Boys explores. Here are some of their stories...

Deliver Us From Eden
Corky Dodds, a rattlesnake wrangler in his early fifties, is overconfident, egotistical, and hyper-masculine, and the most powerful person in the small West Texas town of Eden's Lair. He is the organizer and undisputed king of the town's singular claim to fame, the Eden's Lair Rattlesnake Roundup, an event that provides the backdrop for a tale of tyranny, misogyny, incest, and redemption. Corky says, "we're just trying to control the species," but evidence abounds that the Roundup functions as more of a psychological than a physical purging of an imagined threat inspired by the Biblical story of Adam and Eve.Corky's son Valjean is Eden's Lair's only resident who questions the motives of the Roundup. Rose McCleary is a Dallas transplant and fourth-grade school teacher living in Eden's Lair, and Rose and Valjean develop deep feelings for each other. Valjean's devotion to Rose, and concern for his abused sister Darlynn, creates a son-against-father conflict that climaxes when Valjean rejects both his father and his environment, putting Rose in a life-or-death situation.During weekend rattlesnake roundup events, as the snakes are waking up from their winter brumation (the extreme slowing down of metabolism), thousands of rattlesnakes are hunted and captured. Men in paramilitary attire, who in everyday life are ranchers and business owners, transform into mythic heroes armed with snake hooks, trash cans, and gas canisters. They collectively storm local snake dens, spraying gas into their hiding places to force the hapless, torpid snakes into the open air. The captured snakes are deposited in holding bins, later to be milked, butchered, skinned, and eaten, and this elaborate ritual is inspired by the notion that snakes are a deadly threat.The rattlesnake roundup in Deliver Us From Eden expresses its distortions in the characters that populate the screenplay, such as Kundoo, the story's mystic and convenience store manager; Dr. Ennis, the corrupt town physician; Junior Snake Wranglers Chuck and Steve; Richard, Rose's husband whom she left behind in Dallas; and Bob, the Master of Ceremonies for the Miss Snake Charmer contest.Deliver Us From Eden explores the evidence that abounds that roundups are more of a psychological than a physical purging, are a ritual reinforcement of traditional roles, and a murderous paradigm for the superstitious link between snakes, women, and evil. Perhaps it is more than snakes that the Eden's Lair Roundup purports to control, and Deliver Us From Eden explicates this theme.

Actor-Network Theory at the Movies
This book is one of the first to apply the theoretical tools proposed by French philosopher Bruno Latour to film studies. Through the example of the Hollywood Teen Film and with a particular focus on Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the book delineates how Teen Film has established itself as one of Hollywood's most consistent and dynamic genres. While many productions may recycle formulaic patterns, there is also a proliferation of cinematic coming-of-age narratives that are aesthetically and politically progressive, experimental, and complex. The case studies develop a Latourian film semiotics as a flexible analytical approach which raises new questions, not only about the history, types and tropes of teen films, but also about their aesthetics, mediality, and composition. Through an exploration of a wide and diverse range of examples from the past decade, including films by female and African-American directors, urban and rural perspectives, and non-heteronormative sexualities, Actor-Network Theory at the Movies demonstrates how the classic Teen Film canon has been regurgitated, expanded, and renewed.

I Want a Baby and Other Plays
When Sergei Tretyakov's ground-breaking play, I Want a Baby, was banned by Stalin's censor in 1927, it was a signal that the radical and innovative theatre of the early Soviet years was to be brought to an end. A glittering, unblinking exploration of the realities of post-revolutionary Soviet life, I Want a Baby marks a high point in modernist experimental drama.Tretyakov's plays are notable for their formal originality and their revolutionary content. The World Upside Down, which was staged by Vsevolod Meyerhold in 1923, concerns a failed agrarian revolution. A Wise Man, originally directed by the great film director and Tretyakov's friend, Sergei Eisenstein, is a clown show set in the Paris of the 矇migr矇 White Russians. Are You Listening, Moscow?! and Gas Masks are 'agit-melodramas', fierce, fast-moving and edgy. And Roar, China!dramatises an actual incident in the West's oppression of China, when a British gunboat captain threatened to blow the city of Wanxien to bits. Roar, China! was translated into many languages and produced in cities across the world. The nerve this play touched may be gauged from the fact that it was staged in Yiddish translation in the Czestochowa concentration camp by Jewish prisoners during World War II.These plays are not only stirring in their themes, they are also hugely significant in their construction. Tretyakov's early plays led directly to Eisenstein's highly influential theory of 'the montage of attractions', while later his ideas were crucial in the formation of Bertolt Brecht's theory of epic theatre. The reason why is evident in his plays, now collected and published for the first time.Translated by Robert Leach and Stephen HollandIntroduction and translations of The World Upside Down, A Wise Man, Are you Listening, Moscow?!, Gas Masks and I Want a Baby (second version): Robert LeachTranslations of Roar, China! and I Want a Baby (first version): Stephen HollandPublishers Maxim Hodak & Max Mendor

Suddenly it's all turned on its head when Jay Leno, in one of his nightly rants, unveils two stills of Eddie as audience member for two different infomercials.

"Who is THE CLAPPER?" takes the public by storm, and Eddie's face appears on TVs and billboards throughout the nation. An uproarious satire, Eddie Krumble Is the Clapper is sure to mark the beginning of Montiel's long literary career in fiction.

Artificial intelligence has long been a sci-fi staple, but here, Garland posits what would happen if, for once, humans, rather than AI, were the real villains. In exploring Ex Machina's ideas about consciousness, embodiment, and masculinity, all through the lens of a misogynist mad scientist, Joshua Grimm argues the result is a fascinating, truly unique film that immediately established Garland as a breakout voice in the landscape of science fiction film.

This House
This country doesn't need a constitution, never has, never will. We have History as our guide. In tough times, the British do what we have always done. We muddle through. Britain's most prominent political dramatist James Graham achieved the impossible in bringing the backroom world of MPs, whips and fractured political parties to the stage. Originally staged at the National Theatre, This House is a timely and relevant political comedy, exploring Westminster and the 1974 hung parliament. In the run-up to the General Election pressure mounts as squabbling whips attempt to attract key regional votes. As it becomes clear the results will be closely balanced, the play tracks the formation, perils and consequences of a coalition government, including the compromises, conflicts and power games all in the interest of gaining control of Parliament. With well-paced, witty and waspish dialogue, This House playfully explores the childish digs and chauvinistic attitudes that riddle political life. Graham combines comedy with comment in this portrayal of the strain between the thinking individual, the pressure to toe the party line and the end goal of winning government. This House premiered at the Cottesloe Theatre at the National Theatre in 2012. Methuen Drama's iconic Modern Plays series began in 1959 with the publication of Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey and has grown across six decades to now include more than 1000 plays by some of the best writers from around the world. This new special edition hardback of This House was published to celebrate 60 years of Methuen Drama's Modern Plays in 2019, chosen by a public vote and features a foreword by Baroness Ann Taylor.
