In the shadows of Nairobi lies a chilling experiment that threatens to shatter the boundaries of human ethics. In a society driven by ambition, power, and deception, Ferthono a clandestine corporation known for its sinister social experiments makes a young woman the centrepiece of a diabolical project named after the tragic Shakespearean character, Ophelia.Ophelia's mind becomes a canvas for manipulation and exploitation. Hunted by the specters of her past, this persona must navigate a treacherous maze of uncertainty, where reality blurs with hallucination, and the line between friend and foe fades to obscurity. Ophelia is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the darkest corners of the human mind. Ophelia masterfully weaves together the realms of science, psychology, corporate conspiracy, and lust. Excerpt: When the switch flips, does one notice it? Is the change significant enough to be seen by the one experiencing it? She wonders. Madness: what defines madness? The word itself is simply vocabulary, merely a bunch of letters thrown together craftily. Ancient for 'fury' or 'rage'. She analyses her symptoms. No, she is not angry. 'Great folly'... 'A derangement of sorts. Maybe. 'An enthusiasm... excitement'. For what? It's unbelievable; none define losing memories of her life three months ago. None describe feeling an unnatural connection to Christopher Yego and only him. Nothing defines her state of loony.

Ophelia, Caliban, and Miranda
Oxford University Press

for SATB, piano, and optional saxophone, bass, and drum kit Ophelia, Caliban, and Miranda puts a jazzy twist on three Shakespearean characters. With newly written texts by Charles Bennett, each of the three movements focuses in on Ophelia from Hamlet and Caliban and Miranda from The Tempest. In the funky opener, 'River Bride', the upper voices take the part of Ophelia, while the tenors and basses play a lover figure. Caliban's song, 'Ariel taught me how to play', is a reflective ballad in which the slave tells Miranda, who has escaped his advances, about the spirit helper Ariel teaching him to play the saxophone. The final movement, 'All good things come to an end', is a sassy yet tender number, where Miranda bids farewell to her beloved husband Ferdinand, declaring: 'I've gone back to the island to remember who I am'. The saxophone, bass, piano, and drum kit parts may be played as written or serve as a guide.

Christine Balint reimagines the bittersweet life of Harriet Smithson, the tragedienne who brought Shakespeare to the French. Born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1800, Harriet is left in the care of the elderly priest Father Barrett, and is brought up on Lamb's Shakespeare, lime-sherbet sweets, and prayer. A child of traveling players, her ultimate inheritance is Covent Garden, London, the green room, and the theater's rough magic. With the arrival of Charles Kemble's English Theatre troupe in Paris in 1827, the Odeon Theatre is awash with the drama and music of Shakespeare. Harriet is Ophelia. The French Romantics swoon, traffic stops, and the high-society women plait straw in their hair in honor of her mad Ophelia. The fiery composer Hector Berlioz falls in love. In Ophelia's Fan, Balint re-creates the texture and breadth of the nineteenth century and brings alive Harriet Smithson; the actress and the woman, her roles and her loves. Reading group guide included.

Following everyone from Frankenstein's Monster to King Lear's Fool, Charles Dickens to Virginia Woolf, this is a loving spoof of our literary favorites, and a hilarious collection for a twenty-first century generation of readers. Long live the Classics: 2.0 When humorist Sarah Schmelling transformed Hamlet into a Facebook news feed on McSweeney's, it launched the next big humor trend--Facebook lit. In this world, the king "pokes" the queen, Hamlet becomes a fan of daggers, and Ophelia renounces her interest in moody princes. Now, what began as an internet phenomenon is a book. Ophelia Joined The Group Maidens Who Don't Float: Classic Lit Signs on to Facebook is a clever spoof of the most-trafficked social networking website and a playful game of literary who's who. The book brings more than fifty authors and stories from classic literature back to life and online, and it is sure to have book lovers and Facebook addicts alike twittering with joy. From The Odyssey to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Pride and Prejudice to Lolita, Schmelling brings the conventions of social networking--profile pages, status updates, news feeds, games and quizzes--to some of literature's most well-known works, authors and characters.
Ophelia's tragedies haunt us: grief leads her to insanity, and the river takes her life. Yet madness and water may act as conduits for the cycle of death-rebirth-growth. Liminal spaces expand the narrow story of tragic ends. This book draws on possibilities found in the spaces between: health and illness, life and death, sanity and madness. Slip into this poetic river and hazard the deep, tenuous currents pulling at self and other, connection and loss. This is a work of transformation.

Kimberly Rhodes's interdisciplinary book is the first to explore fully the complicated representational history of Shakespeare's Ophelia during the Victorian period. In nineteenth-century Britain, the shape, function and representation of women's bodies were typically regulated and interpreted by public and private institutions, while emblematic fictional female figures like Ophelia functioned as idealized templates of Victorian womanhood. Rhodes examines the widely disseminated representations of Ophelia, from works by visual artists and writers, to interpretations of her character in contemporary productions of Hamlet, revealing her as a nexus of the struggle for the female body's subjugation. By considering a broad range of materials, including works by Anna Lea Merritt, Elizabeth Siddal, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and John Everett Millais, and paying special attention to images women produced, Rhodes illuminates Ophelia as a figure whose importance crossed class and national boundaries. Her analysis yields fascinating insights into 'high' and mass culture and enables transnational comparisons that reveal the compelling associations among Ophelia, gender roles, body image and national identity.
Ophelia and the Freedmen's School

Ophelia and the Freedmen’s School is based on an actual school established in 1867 in Lavaca, Texas. The author’s great-grandfather, John Ogilvie Stevenson, was the teacher of the Lavaca school and he left many documents, letters, and stories about his experiences there. (Those documents are now archived at the Rosenberg Research Library in Galveston, Texas.) The protagonist is one of two white war refugee girls at the Lavaca school who were real students of Mr. Stevenson. Ten-year-old Ophelia at first resents her black classmates, whom she perceives as “not like her.” But through shared experiences with them—the joy of learning, a yellow fever epidemic, and fear of the KKK, which threatens the life of their beloved teacher and closure of the school—her attitude changes. This well-researched story is threaded through with the tensions that marked Reconstruction in the South. Who in the community are the malcontents? Ultimately, the real message is one of working together and embracing friendships, regardless of differences.
These 19 characters can be played with a minimum of 9 actors doubling, if preferred. A riotous reworking of Shakespeare s Hamlet. Featuring Ophelia, her maid, St Joan and a couple of locals -- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. (7 male, 12 female).
Eva Hail, an anthropologist in her mid-30s, disappears from her campsite. She is researching the Anasazi abandonment of the 14th century, weaving together astronomy, ancient religions, and the Art of Memory. Eva's belongings are left behind, and there are no signs of violence. Joe Hill, a local tracker, is asked to look for her, aided only by her field notebook. Joe's daughter is playing Ophelia in Hamlet, which introduces the questions Shakespearean scholars have debated since 1598. Can we know if we've truly seen a ghost? Can witnesses or experiments validate reality? Joe is haunted by his memories: his father left before Joe was born; his mother, an herbal healer, died five years ago; his wife, a dancer, abandoned him. Set in 1958 in the American Southwest, Ophelia's Ghost explores key themes of this period: UFOs, the space race, Einstein's relativity, parallel universes, and structural anthropology. Joe's search to find Eva uncovers mysteries of the past, present, and future.

But the course of love - and sexuality - never did run smooth.
