Summary

La esclava del Negro Ponto es una obra dramática escrita por Luciano Francisco de Comella, un autor español que vivió entre los siglos XVIII-XIX, conocido por sus dramas y comedias. La trama de esta obra particular se ubica en una isla del Negro Ponto, un término que se refiere al Mar Negro en la antigüedad.
La isla, en el contexto de la obra, es representada como un antiguo emporio cristiano que ha sido ocupado por una versión islamizada de Constantinopla. Este escenario proporciona una viva representación de la tensión y conflicto cultural y religioso que existía durante el período en que la obra fue escrita.
Los personajes de la obra son cristianos y musulmanes, y el drama que se desarrolla entre ellos ilustra las dificultades y luchas asociadas con la convivencia entre estas dos culturas y religiones en un entorno de ocupación.
Comella, a través de su obra, no sólo busca entretener a su audiencia, sino que también utiliza el drama para explorar temas serios y relevantes de su época. Las luchas de poder, los conflictos religiosos y la tensión cultural que se presentan en La esclava del Negro Ponto reflejan los desafíos reales que enfrentaban muchas sociedades en este período de la historia.

    Actioning is one of the most widely used rehearsal techniques for actors. It helps bring clarity to every moment or thought in the text, energising rehearsals and bringing performances to life.
    Actioning will enable you to discover and unlock newfound energy, range, variety and clarity of body and voice, by:
    
    
    - Interrogating the text and making initial action verb choices
    - Playing your chosen actions, both verbally and physically
    - Maintaining an imaginative and emotional connection with each moment
    - Signposting each thought to your scene partner
    From the publishers of the internationally successful Actions: The Actors' Thesaurus, this is the first in-depth exploration of Actioning for student actors, those who train them, and professionals working in the industry, whether they're brand new to the technique or have been practising it for years.
    The book draws on concepts from Stanislavsky, using sample scenes from classic plays such as The Seagull and The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as contemporary pieces, and is filled with exercises to demonstrate the technique at work.
    Actioning - and How to Do It is the indispensable companion to this vital component in every actor's toolkit.

    The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam    Translated by Edward FitzGerald    Narrated by Denis Daly    Omar Khayyam (1048 - 1131) was a true polymath.  A distinguished mathematician,  astronomer and philosopher,  he is best known today for his Rubaiyat, a collection of rubai, or rhyming quatrains,  of which he is estimated to have composed at least 500.  Together with the work of Hafiz and Rumi, Khayyam's poetry represents the high point of classical Persian literature.    Edward Fitzgerald was neither the first nor the most scholarly of the translators of the quatrains of Omar Khayyam, but due to his remarkable abilities as a poet, his versions have been accepted as classic literature in their own right.    During his lifetime Fitzgerald published four editions of his translation - in 1859, 1868, 1872 and 1879 - and a fifth edition was released posthumously in 1889.    In this recording are presented readings of all five editions as well as biographical material about Fitzgerald and Omar Khayyam and a laudatory poem by Andrew Lang,  which were published as part of the Fourth Edition.

    “All the world's a stage, 
    And all the men and women merely players; 
    They have their exits and their entrances; 
    And one man in his time plays many parts, 
    His acts being seven ages.” 
    As You Like It follows the lives of men and women who have been banished from their home after ruler, Duke Senior, was usurped by his younger brother. Duke Senior’s companions begin living in the forest outside of the duchy, where they encounter a man named Orlando, who has been secretly in love with the Duke’s daughter Rosalind. 
    Orlando journeys to win Rosalind’s heart, while not knowing where Rosalind actually is in the aftermath of the usurpation. Rosalind, her best friend (who is also the daughter of the Duke’s younger brother), and the court’s jester have also resigned to the forest, but are fully disguised to keep their identities hidden. They encounter interesting characters of all sorts, such as a melancholy man named Jacques, a shepherdess who accidentally falls in love with Rosalind’s male disguise, and many more. 
    Obviously, this play is centered on a cast that keeps secrets, subtly deceives one another, dons disguises of all sorts, and above all else desires to find true love in the forest. This play is well known for the cast of entertaining characters, as well as being the origin of some of Shakespeare’s most well-known passages.

    A collection of poems about returning home by the war veteran and Pulitzer Prize finalist who is “one of the most important poets of our time” (Carolyn Forché, Guggenheim Fellow, on Archeology of the Circle).  The Unraveling Strangeness represents the record of a man in the middle of his life who comes back to his home after being away for twenty-five years. In these poems, we find odes to a disappearing New York City neighborhood and meditations on how national turmoil seeps into everyday consciousness. At stake in this journey is a rediscovery of deep and abiding connections to place, to family, and old friends.   A two-time Pushcart Prize–winner, Bruce Weigl’s collection The Abundance of Nothing was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His poetry has been acclaimed by C. K. Williams as “powerful and frightening, poems [that] force us to repudiate our comfortable uncertainties, our drowsy vagueness.”
