Beschreibung

When Ben Targét was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2012 Edinburgh Comedy Awards, he was set on the path to becoming a critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning performance artist.
Eight years later, amidst a global pandemic, he gave it all up to become the live-in carer for his uncle: an irascible octogenarian prankster called Lorenzo Wong.
LORENZO is their story, a show that confronts the messiness of ageing and dying through the medium of storytelling, servitude to the audience and live carpentry, a combination not seen on the world stage since Nazareth circa 30AD.
This book is the full script of that life-affirming show, with illustrations by Targét himself. It was directed by Adam Brace, and was premiered at Summerhall, Edinburgh, during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it was awarded a Fringe First. It subsequently transferred to Soho Theatre, London.
Verfügbar seit: 05.10.2023.
Drucklänge: 88 Seiten.

    The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time. 
    Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career. 
    Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems 
    as well as debuting some brand-new work.

    'We're dying of manners. We're under siege from personal embarrassment. This is not sane. This is not rational. That woman is a monster!'
    While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa: a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, USA. She's less than woke but kind of wonderful. They agree to stay in touch – because no one ever really does, do they?
    When Elsa invites herself to stay a few months later, they decide to look her up online. Too late, they learn the truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski. Deadly danger has just boarded a flight to London! But how do you protect all that you love from mortal peril without seeming, well, a bit impolite? Because guess who's coming... to murder!
    Steven Moffat's play The Unfriend takes a hilarious and satirical look at middle-class England's disastrous instinct always to appear nice. It was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2022, before transferring to London's West End – first to the Criterion Theatre, then to Wyndham's – in 2023.
    Steven Moffat is an award-winning writer whose internationally successful television shows include Doctor Who, Sherlock and Dracula – the latter two co-written with actor and writer Mark Gatiss, who made his stage directorial debut with The Unfriend.
