Still The Beast Is Feeding
Born in a tiny attic theatre on a dark and stormy night in the summer of 1973, The Rocky Horror Show was an immediate hit with audiences and critics alike, and a much-needed shot in the arm for London's jaded theatre scene. Five decades on, Richard O'Brien's hilarious cross-dressing tribute to trashy sci-fi B-movies, sexual liberation, gothic horror and rock 'n' roll continues to pull in the crowds and attract legions of new fans, while the classic 1975 film version - the longest continually playing theatrical release in cinema history - generated an unparalleled cult following which took the concept of audience participation to unheard of levels of immersive engagement. Exhaustively researched - and now fully REVISED, UPDATED and EXPANDED - this book chronicles the extraordinary history, continued evolution and enduring legacy of this immortal tale of an amoral transvestite scientist, extraterrestrial subterfuge, corruption of the innocent and the creation of life. Incorporating a wealth of archival material, personal memories and interviews with contributors and participants from every era of Rocky Horror history, the authors explore the show's origins and influences; the creation of the original London stage production; the numerous national and international revivals; the making of the movie; and the fanatical fishnet following which continues to define the Rocky Horror experience. This edition has a 64 page Gallery of Black and White photographs of events, ephemera and other items and places of interest to fans of the Rocky Horror phenomenon.

Alex, Amazon review 'Informative, anecdotal and filled with a lot of love for Rocky, it's perfect for any fan.' L J Valentine, Goodreads 'Beautifully researched and thoroughly entertaining. The book is full of droll anecdotes and witticisms, cleverly woven into a succinct and informative writing style. With as much (if not more) pastiche and cultural reference as it's beloved subject, Still The Beast is Feeding is not so much a companion, but more of a frequent lover to all things Rocky Horror.'

David Bowie and Film
This book constitutes the first monograph dedicated to an academic analysis of David Bowie's appearances in film. Through close textual analysis together with production and reception histories, Bowie's 'silver screen' career is explored in full. The book covers performance documentaries such as Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, star vehicles ranging from the eulogised The Man Who Fell to Earth to the excoriated Just a Gigolo, plus roles from the horror chic of The Hunger and cult fantasy of Labyrinth to the valiant high-brow Baal and vainglorious high-budget Absolute Beginners, ending with Bowie as Bowie in Bandslam and others as 'Bowie' in Velvet Goldmine and Stardust. Alongside showing his willingness to experiment (and at times fail) across a variety of genres, this study investigates Bowie's performative style that, while struggling to accommodate the requirements of cinematic realism, fits more harmoniously with alternative production codes and aesthetics. More broadly, by exploring the commercial, socio-cultural and ideological significance of Bowie on film, the book demonstrates how notions of gender, sexuality and identity formation, plus commodity and cultural capital, function and fluctuate in contemporary society.

Highlighting the work of nine women playwrights from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as thirteen of the twentieth century's key writers, the chapters in this volume explore such varied themes as the impact of space and place on identity, women's strategic use of genre, and theatrical responses to shifts in Irish politics and culture.CONTRIBUTORS: Conrad Brunstr繹m, David Clare, Thomas Conway, Margu矇rite Corporaal, Mark Fitzgerald, Shirley-Anne Godfrey, ?na Kealy, Sonja Lawrenson, Cathy Leeney, Marc Mac Lochlainn, Kate McCarthy, Fiona McDonagh, Deirdre McFeely, Megan W.
