DOWNLOAD EBOOK'Electrifying . . . This four-hour epic of ambition and power is a sinewy reworking of Aeschylus that explodes into a cacophonous climax.' GUARDIAN ***** Aeschylus' Oresteia opens with Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter to the gods; an act which sets in motion a bloody cycle of revenge and counter-revenge. When he in turn is killed at the hands of his wife Clytemnestra, their son Orestes takes up the mantle of avenging his father, continuing the bloodshed until peace is ultimately found in the rule of law. Zinnie Harris reimagines this ancient drama, using a contemporary sensibility to rework the stories, placing the women in the centre. Orestes' leading role is replaced by his sister Electra, who as a young child witnesses her father's murder and is compelled to take justice into her own hands until she too must flee the Furies. Winner: Best New Play, Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland This Restless House premiered at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in April 2016 in a co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This is a delicious bit of fooling that ridicules the old-time blood-and-thunder melodramas of the long ago. Trafalgar Tremayne, his dear wife, Tessie, and their little "baby?" girl (aged ten) are a happy family when they have the Sweet Tooth Candy Kitchen in the village of Polecat Center. But Tremayne becomes ambitious and when he gets the opportunity to buy the run-down Aroma Inn at a sacrifice, he deserts the sweetmeat emporium for "headier" refreshment. Now, wife Tessie is much opposed to this move, fearing temptation for her noble spouse, and the wrong environment for their precious babe. A shooting by the villainous gambler, cheat and swindler, Rodney Remington, which almost "ventilates" little Bertha, makes Trafalgar decide to give up the terrible Aroma and return to the gum drops and jelly beans. This little travesty is filled to the brim with side-splitting (and wholesome) comedy. It is ideal for all groups from high schools to little theatres."--
