Jane and Toni are immaculate, iconic, accommodating flight attendants. They're here for your safety, your comfort and your pleasure. Or so you think. But 30,000 feet below them their seemingly perfect lives are rapidly unravelling. In the sky, over the sea and in cheap hotel rooms around the world, they can feel the ground shake beneath them. Something is rising up, something which cannot be ignored. And it's calling out for them. If they're going to survive what's coming, something needs to change. Poetic, unpredictable and explosive, Stef Smith's play Enough is a fragmentary and intense journey into female friendship, and unearths what happens when you can no longer be the woman people want. Enough premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, as part of the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.Voir livre
From the Preface of The Speaking Voice: principles of training simplified and condensed: "This book offers a method of voice training which is the result of a deliberate effort to simplify and condense, for general use, the principles which are fundamental to all recognized systems of vocal instruction. It contains practical directions accompanied by simple and fundamental exercises, first for the freeing of the voice and then for developing it when free."Parts I and II of the book comprise advice on vocal production and techniques, while some chapters in Part III provide detailed guidance on the vocal interpretation of various literary genres, including the essay, various types of poetry, short stories, dramatic monologues and plays. Some chapters comprise mainly examples for practice, and include complete poems and stories.The reader has endeavoured to follow the author's instructions, but makes no guarantee as to her success, especially in the poetic realm.Voir livre
Mercy or Judgment Before the Throne of God? (Author’s Narration) Obama stands in the temple of Heaven, condemned for his crimes of empire. Will he receive mercy or judgment? That depends on whether Satan can mount an effective prosecution, or if anyone will intercede on the politician's behalf. A great epic poet for our age, LeRoy recalls the otherworldly scenes of Milton's Paradise Lost as he takes the former president on a visionary journey through time and space, even to the throne of God! What lessons must the politician learn before he hands over the keys of empire to Donald Trump? He has an angel to lead him, an ancient philosopher to instruct him, and an immortal poet to inspire him. But will he heed Heaven's message? This story may also remind the reader of Scrooge's awakening in A Christmas Carol, Homer's scenes of warring gods, or Dante's ascent with Beatrice, all brought to life by the author's riveting narration and varied cast of voice characters. The results are transformational, both for a man and for all mankind! "An exemplar of epic poetry." San Francisco Review of Books "Absolutely wonderful and hypnotic narration, his voice flowing over gently with the narrative song of his words." Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews "This is the fourth book by LeRoy that I’ve reviewed, and hands down, uncontested, it is far and away the most hilarious… immensely entertaining, well researched, creative, thought-out, and delivered." William Mortensen VaughanVoir livre

Heartbreak and grief touch every soul at least once in a lifetime, and Ranata Suzuki translates those raw emotions into words. The Longest Night combines strikingly poignant quotations, powerfully emotive poetry, and captivating silhouette imagery to form a mournful lover's journal that explores a side of love that is deep, dark, and hauntingly beautiful.Each of the book's elements are skillfully woven together to reveal fragments of thoughts and feelings that seem almost to belong to the listener as years of painful longing are condensed into the context of a single night.The journal begins with "Sunset", in which poems convey the initial feelings of shock and loss first felt when a relationship with a loved one ends. As the poetry descends into an emotional downward spiral, the book progresses into its next chapter, "Darkness", in which emptiness, jealousy, sorrow, and despair are passionately portrayed.The concluding chapter, "First Light", sees the gradual dawning of a new outlook. The final poems express a gratitude for what once was, an acceptance of what now is, and come to the uplifting conclusion that even though a relationship can be fated to end tragically, the memories gained and lessons learned from it are, in their own way, treasured gifts that will last a lifetime.A book for anyone who has found themselves separated from someone they love no matter the circumstance, The Longest Night is a companion for the broken heart on the painful emotional journey that is losing someone you love from your life. Its words serve as a comforting reminder, whether you are travelling this road or have recently completed this journey yourself, that, despite the loneliness you may sometimes feel along the way, none of us walks this path alone.Voir livre
