In these poems, thirteen animal ambassadors take the floor and call on their main predator, the human being, for help. (Trilingual: English / Spanish / French)
In science one reasons by analogy, so when mankind is confronted by experiences entirely beyond its understanding it takes an individual with intelligence and bravery in equal measure to push back the boundaries of the unknown… In London, in the 1900s, the solutions to supernatural occurrences were investigated by a man who was famous for his dealings with the unknown and the worlds of the dead: Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter, (or as he prefers to call it, a psychical detective). With the help of college student Arthur Bennett, he embarks on a series of spine-tingling and exciting adventures in the world of the dead. Episode 21 - The Suicides at Sevens Hall - A terrible curse hangs over the Harkindale family causing each successive heir of Sevens Hall to commit suicide. When Jarrem Lee is contacted by the latest victim, he agrees to stay at the Hall and confront the dark spectre which haunts the family. Based on the story by E&H Heron. Episode 22 - The Fear Of Knowing - Jarrem Lee is used to confronting ghosts, but when the spectra claims to be himself with a warning from the future, it complicates matters. Is this ghost to be believed, or is Lee but a pawn in a more intricate game? Episode 23 - The Call of The Dead - When a wife dies, it's natural that a husband should grieve, but Robert Castlewood isn't in mourning, he's convinced he can still speak to his dead wife. Episode 24 - The Sacrifice - When Sir Henry Redhill is mysteriously assassinated, the Home Secretary calls in Jarrem Lee to investigate. Why? Because the killer was already dead.Voir livre
The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour. Damon Runyon is acknowledged as one of the great writers to come out of twentieth century America. Runyon's short stories are almost always told in the first person by a narrator who is never named, and whose role is unclear; he knows many gangsters and has no job that can be gleaned from his musings, nor does he admit to any criminal involvement; He’s a bystander, an observer, an average street-corner Joe. Runyon described himself as "being known to one and all as a guy who is just around". That line seems to say a lot about Runyon and his life. It was like you were with him on some street corner hustle or some shady dive and he was filling you in on all the angles, all the gossip, all of life. He was who so many people wanted to be with……or so many people wanted to be. Of course, the cliché about newspapermen and writers is that they are heavy drinkers, chain-smokers, gamblers and obsessively chase women with a sideline in the gathering of stories and facts and actually getting something written just before the deadline hits. That seems like Damon Runyon and his life summed up in one sentence. His stories became legendary ways of looking that bit differently at America, of soaking up the atmosphere of a glamorous and rip-roaring age and distilling it into black and white type or, in our case, The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.Voir livre
As Jews tried to escape Nazi Germany in the 1930s, they faced unthinkable roadblocks in obtaining exit visas. And while they were denied entry in one country after another, a bureaucratic oddity enabled some of them to flee to an unlikely destination: Shanghai, China. In this LATW original commission, playwright Kate McAll used the survivors’ own words to create a narrative of people starting their lives over in a completely new land.

Can a man born to cherish gods of war really wish to exchange them for a God of peace?(Introduction by Godsend)Voir livre

An unsettling play about infidelity seen from the perspective of the three women involved: the wife, the lover and the daughter. George and Honor have been happily married for thirty-two years. She is a successful writer, he is a revered columnist. They have a perfect understanding of each other. Until a pushy young female journalist - on an assignment to 'profile' George - quite deliberately seeks to undermine that understanding. The fallout is dreadful - but beautifully and convincingly portrayed in all its painful consequences. 'Murray-Smith's considerable skill lies in charting the minute emotional shifts and the subtle power play between the four people... Superb' - Mail on Sunday 'Murray-Smith's writing is searching and droll, naturalistic and poetically honed' - Independent on Sunday 'An old story, but thanks to the quality of the writing and acting we share the characters' sense of sailing into uncharted waters... And there are some excellent comic touches... the piece deserves full credit for its honesty and dramatic grip' - Sunday Telegraph 'It's an intelligent, powerful, gripping piece' - The Times 'A really powerful new play. Joanna Murray-Smith is the most exciting Australian dramatist of her generation' - New StatesmanVoir livre
