The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Stage Directors
With a broader range of entries than any other reference book on stage directors, this Encyclopedia showcases the extraordinary diversity of theatre as a national and international artistic medium. Since the mid nineteenth century, stage directors have been simultaneously acclaimed as prime artists of the theatre and vilified as impediments to effective performance. Their role may be contentious but they continue to exert powerful influence over how contemporary theatre is made and engaged with. Each of the entries - numbering over 1,000 - summarises a stage director's career and comments on the distinctive characteristics of their work, alluding to broader traditions where relevant. With an introduction discussing the evolution of the director's role across the globe and bibliographic references guiding further reading, this volume will be an invaluable reference work for stage directors, actors, designers, choreographers, researchers, and students of theatre seeking to better understand how directors work across different cultural traditions.
Shakespeare's Tragedy of King Richard the Second

Simi
Steinbeckian in tone, Faulkneresque in theme, Simi is a highly charged tale of jealousy, greed, hubris and honor that captures a bygone era of California history. Simi Valley, a deeply-rooted Southern California agrarian enclave, is inevitably forever altered by creeping urbanization. The story stretches across decades, from the cornfields of the Midwest to the Santa Barbara Channel Islands and the sprawling San Fernando Valley. Based on actual events, Simi is a novel that reads like a memoir-rooted in truth-artful and unpredictable.At the heart of the novel are Adam Spencer and Katherine Walker-he the bright, sincere, future physician; she the spirited, green-eyed beauty trained to run her powerful father's real estate empire. While destined for one another, they are soulmates buffeted in a sea of uncertainty, drawn together by an undercurrent of love found, then lost, then reawakened years later through a surprising connection. While Adam and Katherine's relationship is the thread that weaves the story together, the narrative is propelled by Adam's devotion to the preservation of his land in Simi Valley for future Spencer generations and his bastard son's subsequent reluctance to undertake the related burden.A disparate cast brings this tapestry to life-Adam's father Harold, a principled WWII survivor, Harold's mentor L.J., a reclusive, empathetic Navy chief, Adam's conflicted son and Katherine's pragmatic daughter round out the colorful cast of characters. Grounded in realism while lyrical in style, Simi explores the crucible of character forged by man's relationship to the land.
