Mary Wilkins Freeman began writing stories and verse for children while still a teenager to help support her family and was quickly successful. When the supernatural caught her interest, the result was a group of short stories which combined domestic realism with supernaturalism and these have proved very influential. Her best known work was written in the 1880s and 1890s while she lived in Randolph. She produced more than two dozen volumes of published short stories and novels. She is best known for two collections of stories, A Humble Romance and Other Stories (1887) and A New England Nun and Other Stories (1891). Her stories deal mostly with New England life and are among the best of their kind. Freeman is also remembered for her novel Pembroke (1894), and she contributed a notable chapter to the collaborative novel The Whole Family (1908).

There is no acting, only reacting to the space.In his bestselling book The Actor and the Target, Declan Donnellan laid out a fresh and radical approach to acting that has inspired actors around the world.Now, in The Actor and the Space, he develops and extends those ideas, exploring that most profound source of vitality in life as well as performance: the space around us.Tackling fundamental questions that face any actor What makes performance better? How do I create a space for my character to live in? How do I tap into that space, and draw energy from it? Donnellan offers a universal set of keys to unlock the mysteries of performance.Full of insightful precepts, acute psychology and practical, hands-on advice, the book presents a bold new way of thinking about acting, illustrated throughout with line-by-line analysis of scenes from Macbeth to show how it works in rehearsal and performance.Essential reading for any actor or theatre director, The Actor and the Space is also a fascinating distillation of the work of a world-leading director that will reward and enrich anyone with an interest in theatre.A hand grenade of a book. It contains all the humility and chutzpah you need to work in the theatre. Cate BlanchettA wonderful book. Few directors think as deeply or perceptively about the art of acting as Declan Donnellan. This is an essential text for the actor, supremely useful, practical, elegant and profound. Matthew MacfadyenBeautifully clear. This generous vision takes a very complex art form and makes it all seem so simple. The whole book is a key. Unlocking the problems actors face as they try to accept another reality long enough to let the audience get a glimpse of the best our art can offer a glimpse into themselves. Adrian Lester Declan Donnellans profound insight and point of departure is that great theatre, like a childs sandcastle, inhabits a vulnerable and ever-changing space between the safe and the dangerous. There is a whole lot of wisdom in this book about tragedy, human psychology, words, dread and about how great acting really works conveyed with remarkable clarity and simplicity. Its worth sharing with non-actor friends for its insights into Macbeth alone. Most of all, its a distillation of hard-won lessons learned from decades of immersion in the mysteries of theatre by one of the great directors of our day. James Shapiro, Shakespeare scholar and author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare

Having surveyed post-war British drama in State of the Nation, Michael Billington now looks at the global picture. In this provocative and challenging new book, he offers his highly personal selection of the 100 greatest plays ranging from the Greeks to the present-day. But his book is no mere list. Billington justifies his choices in extended essays- and even occasional dialogues- that put the plays in context, explain their significance and trace their performance history. In the end, its a book that poses an infinite number of questions. What makes a great play? Does the definition change with time and circumstance? Or are certain common factors visible down the ages? Its safe to say that its a book that, in revising the accepted canon, is bound to stimulate passionate argument and debate. Everyone will have strong views on Billingtons chosen hundred and will be inspired to make their own selections. But, coming from Britains longest-serving theatre critic, these essays are the product of a lifetime spent watching and reading plays and record the adventures of a soul amongst masterpieces.

Ten Days in a Mad-House is a book by newspaper reporter Nellie Bly. It was initially published as a series of articles for the New York World. Bly later compiled the articles into a book, which was published by Ian L. Munro in New York City in 1887. The book comprised Blys reportage for the New York World while on an undercover assignment in which she feigned insanity at a womens boarding house, so as to be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. She then investigated the reports of brutality and neglect at the Womens Lunatic Asylum on Blackwells Island. The books graphic depiction of conditions at the asylum caused a sensation which brought Bly lasting fame and prompted a grand jury to launch its own investigation with Bly assisting. The jurys report resulted in an $850,000 increase in the budget of the Department of Public Charities and Corrections.

A practical guide to creating and producing verbatim theatre, by an experienced theatre-maker and practitioner.Verbatim theatre is fashioned from words actually spoken by real people in real situations, and reproduced by actors in performance. An increasingly influential form of theatre, it has a unique ability to present stories from unfamiliar sources and bring unheard voices to the stage.

IGNIFUGO Juan habla consigo mismo, es un debate interno en donde se cuestiona sus decisiones, los errores cometidos, la falta de optimismo, el amor y el desamor. El unipersonal de Fernando Zabala, es muy sensitivo y directo, en donde se mezcla el dolor, la bronca y la impotencia con frases cortas y punzantes, con emociones que nos penetran y con pensamientos agudos que nos exigen prestar mucha atencion. Esta es una gran obra de exploracion del ser humano en momentos de crisis. Estela Gomez "Cultura del Ser Producciones" jueves 7 de diciembre de 2023. Buenos Aires. LA VOZ DEL COMANDANTE La voz del comandante es una excelente muestra de que el teatro en Cordoba puede resultar un gran disparador a la hora de pensar la politica. Fernando Zabala crea, imagina y dispara unas cuantas ideas que atraviesan la realidad rozandola, interviniendola. Tanto el personaje principal como los secundarios redundan en mensajes con profundo significado. Noemi Falco "Revista Matices" domingo 21 de octubre de 2018. Cordoba. SILOGRINGO El humor y su mirada esquinada en torno al eterno disconformismo del hombre de campo, una señal de identidad con la que por estas tierras quien mas quien menos se ha cruzado, definen la perspectiva desde la que parte el texto de Silogringo, para abismarse despues hacia la tragedia. Ese hombre es la reconstruccion perfecta de la mentalidad materialista al sumun, que fragmenta primero y borra despues cualquier conciencia de lo comun, de lo publico, de lo que es de todos, para confinar al individuo en el estadio de la alocada y desbocada defensa de sus posesiones. Ricardo Sanchez "Diario Puntal" viernes 27 de octubre de 2017. Rio Cuarto, Cordoba.
