This is a solo recording of the play, meaning that all parts including stage directions are performed by one person, me, who incidentally enjoyed doing it immensely. Little needs to be said about the play itself, a sparkling example of Wilde's amazing ability to poke fun at almost everyone while making you laugh out loud at the witty sayings sprinkled throughout the acts. As to the plot, if you don't know it already, let me just say that it involves two young English men who fall madly and instantly in love with two young English women who of course love them back mainly because their name is Earnest. Unfortunately, that is not their names and there are many bumps and crashes on the road to the happy wedding bells. Listen and enjoy !Show book
What to do when everything goes up in flames? Summon up A Man's House Catches Fire, Tom Sastry's debut collection of poetry, with all its elegant, satirical and hurt-quenching power: here are nightmares and fairytales, museums full of regret, mis-enchantments and magic for dark times. Whilst the accelerants of complicity and violence seep from these exacting poems, Sastry's wit and stoicism slake the bonfire of modern troubles. They defiantly ask us: why do "the great marquees of England" stand empty? How old is your heart? Why aren't we listening to the sea, and what it has to say? Funny, marvellously frank and often courageous, A Man's House Catches Fire urges us to take a long hard look into the flames and avert the disasters of the heart, home and nations that threaten to befall us all. "Tom Sastry is a magician of deadpan. He's kind of like if the Atlantic Ocean had a laugh track. Terrifying and hypnotic, but also desperately funny. This collection is generous in both its clarity and mystery." — Hera Lindsay Bird "Tom Sastry's poems stare down the ridiculousness of the world we live in, and offer us ways to carry on in spite of it. These are poems of bright wit and astonishing vulnerability, with one eye always on the future. A Man's House Catches Fire gives us the simultaneous pain and joy of being a human being; reminds us it is marvellous / that it still hurts." – Suzannah EvansShow book
