Tonight At 8.30 by Noël Coward Pdf

Written as a vehicle for Coward's own acting talents alongside his frequent stage partner Gertrude Lawrence, Tonight at 8:30 is Coward's ambitious series of ten one-act plays which saw him breathe new life into the one-act form. First performed in London in 1936, the plays perfectly showcase Coward's talents as a playwright, providing a sparkling, fast-paced and remarkably varied selection of theatrical gems. All ten plays are collected together into this volume that features both Coward's own preface and an introduction by Barry Day, editor of The Letters of Nöel Coward. Coward wrote of the first series of three plays with characteristic delight: 'They are all brilliantly written, exquisitely directed, and I am bewitching in all of them.' Gertrude Lawrence wrote to Coward in 1947, 'Dearest Noël, wherever I go . . . all I hear is "Please revive Tonight at 8.30!"' 'Tonight at 8.30 surprises as much as it delights as, in some of the plays, Coward takes us to a world far removed from that of the wealth and glamour of the debonair London socialites who dominated much of his earlier work. But The Master's polish and sparkle are never far away as music and song intertwine with the wit and insight of one of our greatest ever playwrights.' Chichester Festival Theatre, 2006.

The Noël Coward Reader by Noël Coward Pdf

The Noël Coward Reader offers a wonderfully wide-ranging selection—the first of its kind—of the best of the Master’s oeuvre, entertainingly annotated and abundantly illustrated, and including material that has never before been published. Here are scenes from Coward’s famous plays, from Private Lives to Blithe Spirit, and his screenplays, from Brief Encounter to In Which We Serve. Here are four of his best short stories, scenes from his only novel, and a generous selection of his verse, alongside the lyrics of many of his most sublime songs, including “Mad Dogs and Englishmen,” “The Stately Homes of England,” and “Mad About the Boy.” The Noël Coward Reader is a must-have book both for those who adore his work and for those who are just discovering the many-faceted delights of his comic genius.

Consent Withdrawn by S. L. Pearce Pdf

The world has entered the new Millennium, and in the United States there are two forces on a collision course. The first is a political party with a grand plan to gain complete control of the country. The second force is New America, Inc, a secretive organization that sees the country headed toward a moral and financial crash, and seeks to accelerate that process while the American people are strong enough to recover. Caught between these two forces is George Grayhorse, Junior Congressman from Arizona. Appointed to fill out his father’s term when his father is murdered, George is wooed by party leaders with offers of power and prestige. He is also recruited by New America, Inc to help them with their plan to give the country a fresh start. George rejects both offers to focus on continuing his father’s work and finding his father’s killer. When his search makes him a target of his father’s killers, George takes refuge with New America, Inc. As the collision occurs, the American people erupt in outrage and George is forced to choose between saving the US congress from an angry mob and stepping aside and allowing the mob to take their revenge.

Salem, NH, Volume II by Douglas W. Seed,Katherine Khalife Pdf

The clang of the first trolley bell in 1902 signaled the beginning of a century of excitement and celebrity that would transform the tiny town of Salem, New Hampshire, into a recreation destination for millions. With the trolley company's opening of Canobie Lake Park in August 1902 and "Bet a Million" Gates's big gamble on Rockingham Park in 1906, New Englanders, regardless of age, ethnicity, or social status now shared a recreational common denominator. At Canobie Lake Park, generations played, met, danced, and fell in love. Rockingham Park brought world-class horse and auto racing, the nation's first modern lottery, and a parade of Hollywood's biggest stars. The two parks hold fond memories for the millions who have passed through their gates, and for the thousands who have worked there over the years, their jobs at Canobie and Rockingham are often the ones they most fondly remember.

The Complete Book of 1930s Broadway Musicals by Dan Dietz Pdf

Despite the stock market crash of October 1929, thousands of theatregoers still flocked to the Great White Way throughout the country’s darkest years. In keeping with the Depression and the events leading up to World War II, 1930s Broadway was distinguished by numerous political revues and musicals, including three by George Gershwin (Strike Up the Band, Of Thee I Sing, and Let ’Em Eat Cake). The decade also saw the last musicals by Gershwin, Jerome Kern, and Vincent Youmans; found Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in full flower; and introduced both Kurt Weill and Harold Arlen’s music to Broadway. In The Complete Book of 1930s Broadway Musicals, Dan Dietz examines in detail every musical that opened on Broadway from 1930 through 1939. This book discusses the era’s major successes, notorious failures, and musicals that closed during their pre-Broadway tryouts. It includes such shows as Anything Goes, As Thousands Cheer, Babes in Arms, The Boys from Syracuse, The Cradle Will Rock, The Green Pastures, Hellzapoppin, Hot Mikado, Porgy and Bess, Roberta, and various editions of Ziegfeld Follies. Each entry contains the following information: Plot summary Cast members Names of all important personnel, including writers, composers, directors, choreographers, producers, and musical directors Opening and closing dates Number of performances Critical commentary Musical numbers and the performers who introduced the songs Production data, including information about tryouts Source material Details about London and other foreign productions Besides separate entries for each production, the book offers numerous appendixes, including a discography, filmography, and list of published scripts, as well as lists of black-themed and Jewish-themed productions. This comprehensive book contains a wealth of information and provides a comprehensive view of each show. The Complete Book of 1930s Broadway Musicals will be of use to scholars, historians, and casual fans of one of the greatest decades in musical theatre history.

A Beautiful Life Cut Short by Early Onset Alzheimer's by Denver D. Smith Pdf

"Marcia and I were married September 30, 1994, and were together nineteen years and four days when she passed away October 2013. She was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in 2000, when she was only forty-nine years of age. I was Marcia's 24-7 caregiver from 2007 until her passing. This was the second marriage for us both, and we were a textbook example of how a happy life together should be. We lived in a small community on Lake Oliver, directly across the lake from Columbus, Georgia. I am retired and am writing this book based on the personal experience of having watched the thirteen years of progression of Alzheimer's disease and how it changed a beautiful, vibrant lady to the shell of what she once was when she passed from this earth. Having to watch someone you love dearly die a day at a time, with the only thing that can be done is keeping them comfortable, is a very excruciating experience, and hopefully, reading our journey through this progression will help others who have a loved one with this disease understand what the future holds for them and their loved one"--Page 4 of cover.
