Sinossi

Unexpected Stage Reactions explores the unpredictable world of live performance, focusing on how performers react when things go awry. From technical glitches to unruly audience members, the book examines pivotal moments of disruption and the diverse responses they elicit. It highlights the resilience required of actors, musicians, and comedians when faced with the unexpected, revealing the human element beneath the polished surface of the performing arts. One intriguing fact explored is how a performer's reaction can significantly impact their career, turning a potential disaster into a memorable triumph or a regrettable misstep. The book also touches on the evolution of audience expectations and cultural norms, and how these have shaped both the types of disruptions that occur and the strategies performers use to address them. The book categorizes various types of performance disruptions, from technical malfunctions to medical emergencies, and then presents case studies of specific incidents. These cases are grouped according to the type of response, such as humorous deflection or direct confrontation, offering a taxonomy for understanding the spectrum of stage reactions. Drawing from archival footage, interviews, and research, the author analyzes body language and vocal inflections to gain deeper insights into performers' emotional states and decision-making. Ultimately, Unexpected Stage Reactions provides practical advice and exercises to help performers develop their own strategies for navigating unexpected challenges, emphasizing the importance of preparation, adaptability, and audience awareness.

Elin Cullhed

The woman in question is Sylvia Plath in the final year of her life, reimagined in fictive form by Elin Cullhed, who seizes the flame of Plath's blistering, creative fire in Euphoria, lending a voice to women everywhere who stand with one foot in domesticity and the other in artistic creation.

Diamonds and Deadlines - A Tale...

Betsy Prioleau

The first major biography of the glamorous and scandalous Miriam Leslie, titan of publishing and an unsung hero of women’s suffrage

Among the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For twenty years she ran the country’s largest publishing company, Frank Leslie Publishing, which chronicled postbellum America in
dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker in the process. But Miriam Leslie was also a byword for scandal: She flouted feminine convention, took lovers, married four times,
and harbored unsavory secrets that she concealed through a skein of lies and multiple personas. Both during and after her lifetime, glimpses of the truth emerged, including an illegitimate birth and a checkered youth.

Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “empress of journalism,” who dropped a bombshell at her death: She left her entire multimillion-dollar estate to women’s suffrage—a never-equaled amount that guaranteed
passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. In this dazzling biography, cultural historian Betsy Prioleau draws from diaries, correspondence, genealogies, and published works to provide an intimate look at the life of one of the Gilded Age’s most complex, powerful women and
unexpected feminist icons. Ultimately, Diamonds and Deadlines restores Mrs. Frank Leslie to her rightful place in history, as a monumental businesswoman who presaged the feminist future and reflected, in bold relief, the Gilded Age, one of the most momentous,
seismic, and vivid epochs in American history.
