  This is one of three plays Shaw published as Plays Unpleasant in 1898; they were termed "unpleasant" because they were intended, not to entertain their audiences—as traditional Victorian theatre was expected to—but to raise awareness of social problems and to censure exploitation of the laboring class by the unproductive rich. In this play, Dr. Harry Trench becomes disillusioned when he discovers how his fiancee's father, Mr. Sartorius, makes his money. However, it is soon revealed that Trench's own income is far from untainted. (Summary by wildemoose and Wikipedia)Cast:Dr. Harry Trench: engineerdstMr. William de Burgh Cokane: David GoldfarbMr. Sartorius: DrakaunusBlanche Sartorius: Arielle LipshawMr. Lickcheese: Algy PugWaiter: balaPorter: David OlsonParlour Maid/Narrator: Elizabeth KlettAudio edited by: Arielle Lipshaw

  With fifty new, original poems, Northern Moons emerges as a continuum to Rob Taylor’s previous books. The spiritually-based essence of Taylor’s poetry speaks to the layers of consciousness that compose our soul. Each line is constructed (regardless of content or perceived context) as an inspiration for the reader to engage in a mindfulness approach to understanding the dynamics and worth of human influence across the spectrum of creation. The outcome of that effort is a greater capacity for love of each other and eventually cultivating a “human” community.

  Islamic Poetry - Volume 1 - The...

  Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir

  Islam is one of the world’s great religions and over the centuries one of its strongest voices.  For Peace. For Tolerance.  For the realisation that we are all in this World together.  Whatever our individual beliefs much of its teachings are wise words for us all. 
   
  As Islam moved from its Arabian heartland to a wider geographic area so its core message remained albeit adapted to different lands, to different ears. Poets were ever eager to provide an alternate way of delivering the ‘message’ in beautiful verse.  Their simplicity was embracing, their ornateness a humble offering to greater forces. 
   
  The poems here are both profound and wide-ranging.   They give verse to thoughts that still preoccupy mankind as central to their message is love and humility. Civilisations may come and go, rise and fade, but culture and its arts linger on in oral histories and the written word. 
   
  The contribution of these Mystic or Sufi poets comes in many forms.  They view the world in ways that give us pause to reconsider our own.   Obviously, translations come in many shades and hues and even if the translator colours the original meaning of the poem, the essential truths remain. 
   
  In this volume we have gathered many of the most celebrated of these ancient and classical verses by poets of the caliber and brilliance of Rumi, Kabir, Hafiz and many others. Their wise words illuminate much of what we search for.
