This early play about coal miners struggling to improve their lives helped establish a young Tennessee Williams as a powerful new voice in American theater.
“Early in my working life I had discovered that salesmanship consisted not of providing people with what they needed, but with that was essential to their dreams. I was confident that our dining-room suite, complete with carpets, curtains and an artificial fireplace, would shortly be snapped up by people occupying oven-hot semis in the newer and, as yet, treeless, housing estates on the island. The possibility of winter is essential to the happiness of people living in the tropics.” Hernie Perera runs the furniture department in Benson’s, the largest store in Singapore. In his spare time, he writes stories. Suddenly, his comfortable life is shattered. His father is found to have terminal cancer, he loses his job, and his lover joins the ‘Children of the Book’, a Christian sect committed to overthrowing an oppressive government. An old acquaintance and government official promises Hernie literary success in exchange for information on the ‘Children of the Book’. He must now decide between the rewards of political corruption and his conscience. With passion and humour, A Candle or the Sun reveals a Singapore far different from the tourist brochures.

Candles in the Sun (Classic Reprint) by William Griffith Pdf
Excerpt from Candles in the Sun At The Door Here at the door are beacon fires to build, Dreams to be dreamt, and voices - voices stilled As Eden darkly was ere the first bird In the ancestral silences was heard. And here are songs, midway in homing flight, That hover on frail pinions and alight Softly, less audibly than is the quake Of spirits tremulous, or hearts that break, Here at the door. Here at the door are many messages Of cheer and lurking faith - a folded kiss, A sealed desire, a sigh, a memory Of things that were as rainfall on the sea. Thronging are shapes and shadows near at hand Cast by the moon upon an April land. And in the air are rumors and the stir Of meetings and long partings to occur, Here at the door.

Lighting the Shakespearean Stage, 1567 - 1642 by Robert B. Graves Pdf
In Lighting the Shakespearean Stage, 1567–1642,R. B. Graves examines the lighting of early modern English drama from both historical and aesthetic perspectives. He traces the contrasting traditions of sunlit amphitheaters and candlelit hall playhouses, describes the different lighting techniques, and estimates the effect of these techniques both indoors and outdoors. Graves discusses the importance of stage lighting in determining the dramatic effect, even in cases where the manipulation of light was not under the direct control of the theater artists. He devotes a chapter to the early modern lighting equipment available to English Renaissance actors and surveys theatrical lighting before the construction of permanent playhouses in London. Elizabethan stage lighting, he argues, drew on both classical and medieval precedents.
