What Is Susan's Secret?

What Is Susan's Secret?

Michael Parker; Susan Parker

Samuel French, Inc
2011
pokkari
Characters: 3-7 male, 3-7 female Farce Interior The Cider Mill Inn is an old, rustic and somewhat run down country inn owned and operated by an endearing elderly couple, Michael and Susan Edwards. At first they appear to be bordering on senility. We quickly learn however that they are very clever con artists, preying on their unsuspecting guests, by advertising huge discounts to various tradesmen. Using an elaborate check-in form with duplicate copies, guests are, in fact, signing a work contract, requiring them to perform various tasks and improvements at the inn. Over the course of three weekends, plumbers, tile layers, carpenters and electricians are recruited to do work they never expected. This unique play offers theatres the opportunity for the other twelve characters (Besides Susan and Michael) to be played by either two males and two females, or twelve different actors, or any number in between. The characters vary from the world's most boring man, (his wife says he's had charisma bypass surgery), to a young couple on their honeymoon. Audiences will fall in love with each of these distinctive characters, but especially the loving relationship between the two main characters, Michael and Susan, so touching that this play might be called a love story, if it wasn't first and foremost a farce. So, what is Susan's secret? On this subject the authors remain silent, preferring instead to let the audience decide on the truth, which of course, in a Parker play, is only revealed in the last few seconds of the show.

Jane Austen's Lady Susan

Jane Austen's Lady Susan

Rob Urbinati

Samuel French, Inc.
2021
pokkari
Lady Susan a young widow flees London and arrives at the country home of her obliging brother-in-law and his suspicious wife. Soon to come - uninvited - are an eligible suitor her willful daughter her chatty confidante and a dimwitted bachelor. Lady Susan schemes but all does not go according to plan as she and her daughter become rivals for the same man."Rob Urbinati's Lady Susan captures the essence of Jane Austen's story as well as her humor. Today's women can easily understand that Lady Susan 'seduces and schemes' because she has no options - she cannot get a job or own property. The plight of a penniless widow trying to make a life for herself and her daughter is effectively conveyed with sympathy and biting wit. I enjoyed Jane Austen's Lady Susan very much!" - Carolyn Jack The Jane Austen Society of North America

In Search of Susan

In Search of Susan

Paul James Sheffield

Suzanne Pack
2021
pokkari
Susan Delilah Sheffield is the author's Great Grandmother. Her story was lost from the family record, thus preventing the creation of a family tree. A search of census and courthouse records revealed her past and enabled creating a genealogical record of "who begat whom." and, after much research, there are stories to tell. In our search for Susan, we found that there were several notable Sheffields, and much has been written on the Sheffield family. Freeman's parents, Bryant and Nancy Paine Sheffield were pioneers in Early County, Georgia. Several cousins were politicians, lawyers, and physicians. Freeman's brother, Seaborn, was one of the richest men in West Georgia. Susan's father, Freeman, was absent from most documents. A census record listed Susan's mother, Celia, as "head of household and running the farm." Her father's occupation was "none," with the reason given as "fitified." Then, a brief death notice in the Atlanta Constitution newspaper indicated he "had one of his fits and fell into the fire."Sheffield; Shuffield; Shuffill; Shuffild; Sheffel; Shuffel; Sherfiel; Shuffer; Shuffiel

The Trial of Susan B. Anthony

Martin Naparsteck

McFarland Co Inc
2014

Following a public argument with her friend Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony altered her strategy of seeking a broad range of rights for women and blacks and focused exclusively on winning the vote for women. Defying state and federal law, she voted in the presidential election of 1872, and was arrested and tried in a case presided over by a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Ward Hunt, who directed the jury to deliver a guilty verdict. Fined $100, Anthony defiantly told the judge she would never pay--and never did. This is the story of the landmark trial that attracted worldwide attention and made Anthony into the iconic leader of the women's rights movement.

Anthony icon, introducing a new generation to the brave, brilliant, funny, and, most of all, prescient woman she really was. "Lynn Sherr has done us all a great service by bringing to spectacular light the too long neglected story of one of our greatest patriots--a genuine hero who helped change for the better the lives of a majority of American citizens."--Ken Burns

Here is a collection of interviews that cover the period from 1967 through 1993. Many are translations of interviews that originally appeared in French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, or Swedish periodicals. Several are published here for the first time in any language. Giving attention to Sontag's education and the development of her aesthetic and moral temperament, they cover Sontag's rich career as a distinguished writer, filmmaker, dramatist, and cultural critic.Born in New York City, reared in Arizona and California, educated at Berkeley, Chicago, Harvard, Oxford, the Sorbonne, appointed to teaching positions in English, philosophy, and religion, she is a woman whose restlessly independent and resolutely transcultural temperament was already well established when she boxed up the manuscript of The Benefactor and submitted it to Farrar & Straus in 1962. By 1992, when her much acclaimed novel The Volcano Lover: A Romance was published, The Benefactor alone had gone through twenty-one editions in nine languages.

Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag

Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag

Sibyl Kempson

53rd State Press
2016
pokkari
Set in Alabama at the scene of James Agee and Walker Evans's famous reporting, Let Us Now Praise Susan Sontag brings Sibyl Kempson's attention to the ethical snares of poetic journalism and what it means to work on the land. She interrogates the strange energy of images, both their potential to anesthetize response, and their invitation to be approached as hermeneutic thresholds between visible and invisible orders. Interwoven with sources from Agee and Walker to Sontag, to inscriptions on Assyrian mythological seals, and nested in a set of images from other performances, the play holds forth in its own genre, a bad-ventriloquism visitation seed-eating prayer ceremony with songs. The entire score, composed by Kempson's longtime collaborator Ashley Turba, completes the book.
