Synopsis

1964: Richard Burton, the firebrand Welsh actor, newly married to movie star Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new production of Hamlet under the exacting direction of John Gielgud.
But as rehearsals progress, the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel. One of them is the most famous movie star in the world; the other, a patrician from an earlier age of theatre. The stage is set for two titans to collide.
Jack Thorne's The Motive and the Cue is a fierce, funny play which offers a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity. This edition was published alongside the West End transfer in 2023, following its world premiere at the National Theatre, London, earlier that year. Originally commissioned and co-produced by Neal Street Productions, it was directed by Sam Mendes, and starred Johnny Flynn as Burton, Mark Gatiss as Gielgud and Tuppence Middleton as Taylor. It was named Best Play at the 2023 Evening Standard Theatre Awards, and Best New Play at the 2024 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards.
Disponible depuis: 14/12/2023.
Longueur d'impression: 104 pages.

    Lewis Carroll was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on the 27th January 1832 at Daresbury, Cheshire, the eldest boy and the third child.  Another eight followed.   
     
    When Dodgson was 11, his cleric father moved his family to Croft-on-Tees in the North Riding of Yorkshire.  Although his father was active and highly conservative his son was ambivalent with those values and with the Church as a whole. 
     
    In his early years Dodgson was educated at home and by age 7 he was reading the likes of ‘The Pilgrim's Progress’.  He also spoke with a stammer which he called his ‘hesitation’. 
     
    At 12 he was dispatched to Richmond Grammar School in North Yorkshire and then on to Rugby.  He sailed through the curriculum.  He was accepted at Christ Church, Oxford but two days after arriving he was summoned home: his mother had died of ‘inflammation of the brain’ at only 47. 
     
    Dodgson was exceptionally gifted and, when not distracted, achievement came easily to him.  He remained at Christ Church studying and teaching in various capacities until his death. 
     
    In March 1856, he published the romantic poem ‘Solitude’ as by ‘Lewis Carroll’.  
     
    That same year he took up the new art of photography.  He soon excelled and became a well-known gentleman-photographer, and even toyed with the idea of making a living out of it.  When he ceased photography in 1880, he had his own studio and had created around 3,000 images. 
     
    He enjoyed moderate success with his early poems and short stories but had an array of other interests in the pre-Raphaelite circle, Psychical Research and even ordained in the Church of England in 1861.  
     
    In July 1862 he told a young Alice Liddell the story that would become his first and greatest success.  Alice begged him to write it down, and eventually he did and later presented her with a handwritten and illustrated ‘Alice's Adventures Under Ground’.  The publisher Macmillan agreed to publish it as ‘Alice's Adventures in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll.  
     
    It was a huge and sensational life-changing success.  Royalties quickly accumulated as did fan mail.  
     
    In 1871, the darker themed sequel ‘Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There’ was published.  A half decade later came ‘The Hunting of the Snark’, a fantastical nonsense poem, as nine tradesmen and a beaver set off to find the snark.  It was another enormous success. 
     
    He also loved to invent such delights as a writing tablet ‘the nyctograph’ that allowed note-taking in the dark as well as many word games, such as the precursor to ‘Scrabble’, and alternative systems of parliamentary voting.  Within the discipline of mathematics, he worked in geometry, linear and matrix algebra, mathematical logic, recreational mathematics and wrote nearly a dozen books on the subject.   
     
    Lewis Carroll died of pneumonia following influenza on 14th January 1898 in Guildford, Surrey.  He was 65.

    "My Life in Poems" is the fusion of cherished memories woven with our parents, grandparents, cousins, friends, and soulmates. 
    In the digital world, where life is virtually driven, there is a feeling of void many times. That’s when we reminisce about our golden days from childhood, memories of adulthood, deep emotions, and the journey of transformation. 
    "My Life in Poems" is a memoir of experiences carefully chosen from the bouquet of soulful moments, instrumental in our evolution, guiding us towards self-realization. The poems also journey through the valley of change, slowly turning us into someone we couldn’t recognize anymore. In these years of ups and downs, while we were living, were we truly living? 
    This question keeps repeating itself as we transition from one place to another, fulfilling someone else’s happiness. The "me" in me is missing. That is why when we were writing these poems, they offered deep insight into all the phases of our lives and the truth behind those lonely and scary moments. The question lurked: will we ever reach our goal? 
    Whether you are a teenager, in your mid-career, or spending time with your grandchildren, these poems will create curiosity and an urge to discover the voice of your inner being. 
    Listen to know more about these soulful revelations from the authors of bestseller romantic, thriller, and adventure fiction novels, and winners of many literary awards. 
    This compilation serves as an endeavor to motivate readers to forge connections with the unspoken voices within, experiencing the magnificent language of our souls. May you find resonance in these verses and derive inspiration from the silent narratives that echo within. 
    Enjoy the journey of Listening to Soulful Poems!

    An irreverent and unsettling play that interrogates paranoia, ambiguity and innocence in our highly sexualised world.
    Gethin has just finished his film course and reckons he's the next Scorsese. His mum is on at him to do her friend's wedding video - before the couple get divorced!
    But Gethin is interested in a much more daring project - one that will get him into dangerously deep water, question his idealism and turn his life and that of his family upside down.
    Stacey Gregg's play Perve was first staged at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2011.
