One evening, during a family meal, my three-year-old grandson called out to me: I know where the sun's house is. This cheering of his was the trigger for this story. I took the opportunity to introduce the kindergarten children to our planet Earth and its orbit, the sun, and the other planets that make up the solar system.
As someone who has been involved in education for many years, when I write for young children, it is important for me to weave educational messages into the story.This time I chose to focus on messages concerning animals - pets as well as animals that we come across daily.Through the character of Ella - a sweet preschooler and her bunny pillow, I tried to convey messages of caring, knowledge, love, giving, awareness, and responsibility towards various animals.
Today's successful plays and playwrights achieve their prominence not simply because of their intrinsic merit but because of the work of mediators, who influence the whole trajectory of a playwright's or a theatre company's career. Critics and academic writers are primarily considered the makers of reputations, but funding organizations and various media agents as well as artistic directors, producers, and directors also pursue separate agendas in shaping the reputations of theatrical works. In ""The Making of Theatrical Reputations"" Yael Zarhy-Levo demonstrates the processes through which these mediatory practices by key authority figures situate theatrical companies and playwrights within cultural and historical memory.To reveal how these authorizing powers-that-be promote theatrical events, companies, and playwrights, Zarhy-Levo presents four detailed case studies that reflect various angles of the modern London theatre. In the case of the English Stage Company's production of John Osborne's ""Look Back in Anger"", she centers on a specific event. She then focuses on the trajectory of a single company, the Theatre Workshop, particularly through its first decade at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, London. Next, she explores the career of the dramatist John Arden, especially its first ten years, in part drawing upon an interview with Arden and his wife, actress and playwright Margaretta D'Arcy, before turning to her fourth study: the playwright Harold Pinter's shifting reputation throughout the different phases of his career.Zarhy-Levo's accounts of these theatrical events, companies, and playwrights through the prism of mediation bring fresh insights to these landmark productions and their creators.
South African born internationally acclaimed director and playwright, Yaël Farber, sets her explosive new adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie in the remote, bleak beauty of the Eastern Cape Karoo. Transposed to a post-apartheid kitchen – a single night, both brutal and tender, unfolds between a black farm-labourer, the daughter of his master and the woman who has raised them both. The visceral struggles of contemporary South Africa are laid bare, as John and Mies Julie spiral in a deadly battle over power, sexuality, mothers and memory. Haunting and violent, intimate and epic, the characters struggle to address issues of reprisal and the reality of what can and cannot ever be recovered. Mies Julie is the winner of a number of awards including, the Best Of Edinburgh Fringe Award, an Edinburgh Fringe First Award and an Edinburgh Herald Angel Award. In December 2012, Mies Julie was listed in the Guardian's top ten best theatre picks of 2012 and in the Top Ten Plays of 2012 by the New York Times.
Matti, Ehemann und Vater zweier kleiner Söhne, ist sein Leben lang nicht über die unglückliche Liebe zu einer Fünfzehnjährigen hinweggekommen. Seine Frau weiß, daß sie für ihn immer nur >zweite Wahl< war, und doch hofft sie, daß die Gegenwart eines Tages mehr wiegen würde als die Vergangenheit, doch vergebens. Sie beginnt die Phantasiegeliebte ihres Mannes zu hassen - bis sie ihr eines Tages gegenübersteht.
An exhilarating, twisted tale of desire, suspicion, and obsession between two women staying in the same house in the Dutch countryside during the summer of 1961--a powerful exploration of the legacy of WWII and the darker parts of our collective past.A house is a precious thing... It is 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is truly over. Living alone in her late mother's country home, Isabel knows her life is as it should be--led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva, leaving her at Isabel's doorstep as a guest, to stay for the season. Eva is Isabel's antithesis: she sleeps late, walks loudly through the house, and touches things she shouldn't. In response, Isabel develops a fury-fueled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house--a spoon, a knife, a bowl--Isabel's suspicions begin to spiral. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel's paranoia gives way to infatuation--leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva--nor the house in which they live--are what they seem. Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual, and infused with intrigue, atmosphere, and sex, The Safekeep is a brilliantly plotted and provocative debut novel you won't soon forget.
En knivskarp berättelse om begär, misstankar och besatthet mellan två kvinnor som tillbringar sommaren 1961 i samma hus på den nederländska landsbygden – en stark utforskning av andra världskrigets efterverkningar och de mörkare delarna av vårt kollektiva förflutna. Den lantliga provinsen Overijssel ligger stilla, kriget är äntligen över. Isabel lever ensam i sin bortgångna mors hus på landet, i ett liv styrt av rutin och självdisciplin. Allt förändras när hennes bror Louis dyker upp med sin tafatta nya flickvän Eva – och lämnar henne på Isabels tröskel för att stanna över sommaren. Eva är Isabels motsats: hon sover länge, går tungt genom huset och rör vid saker hon inte borde. Isabels irritation växer till en besatthet, och när föremål börjar försvinna tar misstankarna överhanden. I sommarens kvävande hetta förvandlas hennes paranoia till åtrå, och en upptäckt väntar som kommer att rasera allt Isabel trott sig veta. Kanske är kriget inte över ändå. Gåtfylld, sofistikerad, sensuell och laddad med intriger, stämning och begär är detta "en djärv och fängslande debut om att möta sanningen – både historien och sina egna begär” (The Guardian).
