  Theatre of the Unimpressed - In...

  How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it.
  		 
  Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between?
  		 
  A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form.
  		 
  Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination.

  Famous Men of Greece

  John Henry Haaren, A. B. Poland

  Greeks were history’s great men of thought. John Haaren has collected stories from the lives of thirty famous Greek men, detailing the rise, Golden Age, and fall of Greece. Among these men are Aristotle, Ptolemy, Ulysses, Pericles, and Alexander the Great. Children will be delighted to read and understand why the scope of Greek accomplishment is still known today as the “Greek Miracle.” 
  This book provides a great introduction to ancient Greece, not only for children, but for adults who missed out on a classical education. The title (originally given when the book was first published in 1904) is a little misleading, as the book introduces gods and goddesses, as well as talking about the famous heroes and leaders of the former nation. However, the book is a very good resource to help both adults and children understand references in literature and elsewhere to these individuals who have had influence on our own stories and government.
