My Dearest Heart - The Artist Mary Beale (New Edition)

Penelope Hunting

Sinopse

Mary Beale (1633–1699) was one of the earliest professional women artists in Britain. Her successful career was documented by her husband, Charles, whose almanacks provide a unique record of Mary's patrons, painting technique and family affairs. Her portraits of politicians, clergy, aristocracy and intellectuals reflect the vibrant literary, scientific and political scene of the seventeenth century. She has been seen as a feminist icon not only as a professional artist but also as a poet and the author of a Discourse on Friendship (1667) which argued for the equality of husband and wife in marriage – a radical concept at that time.
This new edition includes newly documented paintings by Mary Beale that have come to light since the first edition was published in 2019.

Tories The: A Tragedy

Henry Morris

'Fantastic' – James O'Brien
The brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare
'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend
The brightest heaven of pretention!
A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act,
Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’
So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play.
In five acts that take in five prime ministers, The Tories: A Tragedy is a captivatingly realised Jacobean tragedy, replete with Machiavellian manoeuvrings, hilarious mechanicals and poignant verse. Publishing in the shadow of the most significant election since the Tories came to power in 2010, this exhilarating, original book is an alternative history of a disastrous reign – a drama that will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, and those who simply love to laugh at the Tory party.
With a keen eye for parodies and humor, Morris masterfully weaves ideologies of conservatism and liberalism into a theater of politics. His playwriting process, a performing art in itself, brings to life the parties and their top players in a non-fiction narrative that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.
For fans of Robert Jobson (Diana), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Richard Osman (The World Cup Of Everything), The Secret Barrister (Nothing But The Truth), and Tina Brown (The Palace Papers).

A Rare Recording of Frank Lloyd...

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 to April 9, 1959), born in Richland Center, Wisconsin, was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and mentoring hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." The following audio clips are from the late 1950s.

Film Trivia Metaverse

GET OUT
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JORDAN PEELE
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Get Out is a 2017 horror film directed by Jordan Peele. It follows Chris Washington, a young African American man, who visits the family home of his white girlfriend, Rose. Initially, the visit seems uneventful, but Chris soon becomes uncomfortable with the odd behavior of the family and their strange connections with black servants. As the weekend progresses, he begins to uncover unsettling truths about his girlfriend’s family. The film explores themes of racism, privilege, and exploitation, blending social commentary with psychological horror and suspense. It challenges perceptions of race while creating a chilling, tense atmosphere.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Daniel Kaluuya was cast as the lead after impressing Jordan Peele during his audition. Kaluuya performed five takes of a crucial scene where his character has to cry, and each time, a single tear fell at the same moment in each take.”
“Jordan Peele mentioned that the title of the film is a nod to what he often hears from black audiences when watching horror films: they shout ‘Get out!’ at the screen. In the movie, both Rod and Andre say it to Chris.”
“The success of Get Out made Jordan Peele the first African-American writer, producer, and director to earn more than $100 million with his debut film.”
“Chance the Rapper was so impressed by Get Out that he bought out movie tickets at select Chicago theaters so people could watch the film for free. He tweeted about it, saying, ‘Just pull up with an ID and enjoy the movie.’”
