  WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT, BIRNAM WOOD COMES TO DUNSINANE HILL 
  The Risk Theatre Model of Tragedy presents a profoundly original theory of drama that speaks to modern audiences living in an increasingly volatile world driven by artificial intelligence, gene editing, globalization, and mutual assured destruction ideologies. Tragedy, according to risk theatre, puts us face to face with the unexpected implications of our actions by simulating the profound impact of highly improbable events. 
  In this book, classicist Edwin Wong shows how tragedy imitates reality: heroes, by taking inordinate risks, trigger devastating low-probability, high-consequence outcomes. Such a theatre forces audiences to ask themselves a most timely question--what happens when the perfect bet goes wrong? 
  Not only does Wong reinterpret classic tragedies from Aeschylus to O'Neill through the risk theatre lens, he also invites dramatists to create tomorrow's theatre. As the world becomes increasingly unpredictable, the most compelling dramas will be high-stakes tragedies that dramatize the unintended consequences of today's risk takers who are taking us past the point of no return. 
  Risk theatre is inaugurating a new tragic age in storytelling, drama, and literature. Listen to the book that launched the world's largest tragedy playwriting contest (risktheatre.com).  
  "An ambitious, thought-provoking critique of tragedy in the 21st century." Kirkus 
  "Impossible to put down." NJ Drama Australia Journal 
  "Insightful and compelling ... A bold, inventive new model of theatre through the lens of risk." Broadway World UK 
  "If you love literature--theater, film, novels, history, biography, opera, whatever--you need to read this extraordinary work ... Read it--twice. You will never read another work of literature the same way." Charlie Euchner, Columbia University

  Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Technical Spanish by Audioacademyeu. The course is designed for beginners to slightly advanced learners and focuses on vocabulary you can use in the technical field.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find a total of 900 words and practice sentences.The individual lessons are structured according to the topics of activities, quality, logistics, tools/equipment, dimensions and characteristics.  They contain words and example sentences that will help you communicate better when solving technical problems. At the same time, you can use this course to refresh your Spanish from a beginner to pre-intermediate level.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in Spanish, in track one you hear the  Spanish word twice.Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Spanish twice Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Spanish (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts.  In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to.  In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English ,Pedro García-Guiaro and Begoña García Ferrerira in Spanish.
