Othello was written in 1603 and first performed in 1604. The underlying story is based on "A Moorish Captain," one of the stories in Cinthio's Gli Hecatommithi , written in 1565. Othello is a Moorish black general in Venice, known for his military prowess. He elopes with Desdemona, a noble Venetian lady, who is the daughter of Brabantio, a senator. When Othello promotes Cassio to be his lieutenant over Iago, his ensign, the evil Iago gets his revenge by alleging an affair between Cassio and Desdemona, sowing doubt in the mind of Othello.

    Ivan Matveich, the most ordinary person you might hope to meet, is swallowed alive by a crocodile at a sideshow. Finding life inside the belly of the beast quite comfortable, he makes a home for himself there. His disquisitions on the state of the world from inside the crocodile make him quite a name for himself; while all the while the discussion rages outside as to whether the beast is going to be cut open to release him or not, its value as a sideshow attraction having massively increased owing to the presence of the human voice buried inside it. One of Jorge Luis Borges' seven most favourite stories

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
In this volume England is engulfed in Civil War.  The Divine right of Royalty versus The Will of Parliament.  The King versus the People.  Poets, born into one side or the other, use chosen words to fight this literary war.  Here, the flamboyant, entitled Cavaliers reveal poets and poems that both embellish their cause and leave us a glorious poetic legacy.

    This critically-acclaimed "tour-de-force one-man performance" (Falls Church News-Press Entertainment Writer) brings new life to one of Edgar Allan Poe's little known, but significant, stories.  In 1833, as part of a short story writing contest, Poe crafted "MS Found in a Bottle."  This story topped over 100 other entries and earned the 1st place prize of $50 and publication in the Saturday Visiter Newspaper.  This story inspired later writers like Herman Melville and Jules Verne, and, while not his most popular work, it launched his career as a writer.   
In this production, listeners will be engrossed in the story through classic narration encompassing multiple characters, incredible sound effects to bring you into the ghost ship amongst the zombie-like crew, into the hurricanes and the doldrums, and in the cold winds of Antarctica.

    Biagio Martini is a successful lawyer. But he fears thunderstorms, and the memory of what happened in the old house by the river, when he was a child, corrodes his soul. Agata Rubino, on the other hand, is a fearless and courageous woman. She fears nothing as she hunts down the one who destroyed her life. Biagio and Agata do not know each other, they have never met; they do not know that their destinies are about to intertwine in an inexorable way.
