Beschreibung

In "Riley Love-Lyrics," James Whitcomb Riley masterfully captures the essence of romantic sentimentality through a rich tapestry of verses that evoke emotions of love, longing, and devotion. Composed during the late 19th century—a period marked by a burgeoning interest in regionalism and the folk voice—Riley's poetry showcases his signature folksy dialect and musicality. The collection reveals the intimate and tender moments of love, often interwoven with themes of nature and nostalgia, which resonate deeply with readers and place Riley firmly within the pantheon of American literary traditions. James Whitcomb Riley, often hailed as the "Hoosier Poet," emerged from the American Midwest, imbibing local dialects and cultural nuances that influence his work. His humble beginnings and connection to rural life provided a profound understanding of love's complications and joys, which are beautifully rendered in this collection. Riley's ability to articulate the innermost feelings of his subjects lends a universal quality to his poetry, inviting readers from all backgrounds to partake in the emotional landscape he created. This collection is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates the lyrical and emotive power of poetry. "Riley Love-Lyrics" not only offers a window into the heart of a bygone era but also serves as a poignant reminder of the timeless nature of love. Readers will find themselves charmed and captivated by Riley's lyrical prowess and deep understanding of human affection.

    Ash is having the time of her life. Fresh from leaving a bad relationship, she's got no idea what's next. But there's something about her new flat. The wallpaper pulses and sometimes it sounds like a heartbeat.

    Benjamin wakes up, laying on a strange bed, in a strange room, in a house he has never seen. He can't remember what happened the night before or how he ended up in this place. Ideally, he would love to gather his belongings and go home but soon he realizes there is no going back from this house. 
    He is not alone there and the girl who claims to be part of him is not exactly someone you could call a great companion. She's beautiful and, in very odd way, magical, but she seems very out-of-this-world distant. His efforts to get any information from her end up with her leaving and him being overly irritated. He ventures around the house and realizes how very off everything in it is. 
    This house holds no sounds, no motion. Gravity seems to not be working well and the air... the air is very off, too. Benjamin is determined to find out the truth. He already knows it is connected with him and whatever he finds out will change his life forever. 
    In the meantime, he also finds out a lot of things about the girl and grows feelings for her that only make it more difficult to let go...

    Five insomniacs try to make it through the night. From dusk to dawn, they struggle with a crisis in their lives which they must resolve by morning. Increasingly conscious of their shortening futures and lengthening pasts, they fill their nights with distracting activities, desperate sleep techniques, evaluations of their lives, delusions, fears, panics and utter foolishness as they prepare to face the day.
    Five Characters in Search of a Good Night's Sleep was first performed by ViSiBLE Theatre Ensemble at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2022, in a production directed by Mike Alfreds. It was devised and written by Mike Alfreds with Sonja Linden and members of the company.
    ViSiBLE is a theatre company dedicated to creating performance work that throws fresh perspectives on later life and living longer. A key aspect of its identity is creating work collaboratively, drawing on the creativity and talent of Britain's huge wealth of experienced older actors.
