In "Mary Broome," Allan Monkhouse presents a nuanced exploration of social class, gender roles, and the complexities of romantic relationships in early 20th century England. The play, characterized by its sharp dialogue and keen observational humor, delves into the life of Mary Broome, a working-class woman caught between her aspirations and the expectations of a patriarchal society.

Monkhouse's liberal views and commitment to realism offer a critical lens through which to examine the intricacies of his characters'Äô lives. This play is highly recommended for readers seeking a rich, character-driven narrative that encapsulates the tensions between aspiration and reality. "Mary Broome" is not only a window into a historical moment but also a timeless reflection on the human condition, making it essential reading for those interested in social justice, gender studies, and the evolution of modern drama.

    Your mission: Stop the South African nuclear test! 
    “The scuttlebutt is when you go to sea with Mac, you're in for a frigging great adventure!"— Professor John B. Rosenman (Ret.), Norfolk State University 
    In early 1989, ten years following an actual 1979 joint Israeli/South African nuclear test near Prince Edward Islands, known as the Vela Incident, South Africa was negotiating the end of apartheid. The regime had built six nuclear bombs, but had announced to the World it was dismantling five. The regime was also working on a small suitcase nuke. Israeli Intelligence got word of a pending nuclear test on Prince Edward Island and informed the U.S. State department. Working through the Commanders of the U.S. Pacific Submarine Fleet and the U.S. Atlantic Submarine Fleet, the U.S. State Department assigned Mac McDowell, as the new skipper of USS Teuthis, to onload an Israeli Shayetet 13 commando unit in the Falkland Islands and head into the waters near the Prince Edward Islands to get the facts and, if possible, stop any nuclear weapons test.
