Summary

Susanna Centlivre's play, 'The Perjur'd Husband; or, The Adventures of Venice. A Tragedy,' is a remarkable piece of work that showcases her talent for crafting complex characters and engaging plots. Set in Venice, the play explores themes of betrayal, honor, and redemption in a dramatic and captivating manner. Centlivre's writing style is characterized by sharp dialogue, vivid imagery, and intricate subplots that come together to create a compelling narrative. Her use of language and imagery reflects the literary trends of the Restoration period, making this play both a product of its time and a timeless classic. Centlivre's ability to intertwine comedy and tragedy in a seamless manner sets her apart as a talented playwright. Susanna Centlivre, a successful actress and playwright in the early 18th century, drew inspiration from her own experiences in the theatrical world to create this gripping tragedy. Her keen insight into human nature and her deep understanding of the complexities of relationships are evident throughout the play. I highly recommend 'The Perjur'd Husband' to readers who appreciate a well-written, thought-provoking drama that delves into the intricacies of human emotions and actions.

    There is a hidden artist within each of us. We all have a natural yearning to express
ourselves. As children, this self-expression is a joyful natural process, manifested through
drawing and movement without ever thinking about what other people may say. Yet as
we grow older we often become more inhibited, frustrated and reserved.
The FLY process is one of letting go, relinquishing control and permitting the unplanned
and unexpected to take the lead. In this way, we take the first step on the path towards
reconnecting to the curious creative child we once were, thus rediscovering our creative
inner spirit.
FLY stands for Free the Life within You. Developing this concept has turned my life into an
inspiring, unexpected colorful journey, depicted in the artwork from the 3 painting series
shown in this book.
Deep Space - inspired by the Hubble telescope images
Human Formation – based on Lennart Nilsson's inner body photography
Cycles of Life – influenced by the everlasting journey of the human spirit
I am thrilled to share my personal quest with you. Be my guest and FLY with me
Have magic in your life
Ted Barr
