DOWNLOAD EBOOKNine playwrights take on the absurdity of the art world in Rogues’ Gallery, a collection of ten-minute plays framed in a rapid-fire comedy. When two hapless security guards find the gallery’s prize sculpture has been destroyed on their watch, it’s a race through the day’s security camera footage to find out what happened - and come up with a really good excuse before the artist comes back with the toughest critic in town. Each play features a different group that comes through the gallery, from employees to tourists to art thieves, and optional transition scenes can be used to thread any combination of plays together into one story. A series of hilarious mistakes just might add up to a masterpiece in Rogues’ Gallery.

Huang The Sketch Pod by Tyler Dwiggins Mayonnaise Mayonnaise by Patrick Greene The Participant by Jason Pizzarello The Art Dealer is Impressed by Carrie McCrossen The Collector by Kathryn Funkhouser Two Ships Passing by Ian McWethy (*These plays can be licensed together or separately.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Plot of Her Own presents compelling new readings of major texts in the Russian literary canon, all of which are readily available in translation. The female protagonists in the works examined are inextricably linked with the fundamental issues raised by the novels they inform; the interpretations offered strive not to be reductive or doctrinaire, not to be imposed from the outside but to arise from the texts themselves and the historical circumstances in which they were written. Authors discussed include Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Bulgakov, and the novels considered range from Fathers and Children to Zamyatin's anti-Utopian We. Throughout, the contributors new visions expand our understanding of the words and reveal new significance in them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrank Ching brings to life 900 years of Chinese history through his own fascinating family tree. Beginning with his search for the grave of his first recorded ancestor, the 11th century poet Qin Guan, and ending with a moving account of his relationship with his father, a victim of China's historic upheaval, Frank Ching introduces a colourful cast of characters. His unbroken family line includes - among many others - a lovelorn concubine, a traitor, a military hero, an imperial ghost-writer, a minister of punishments and a woman noted for her skills in both verse and martial arts. There is scarcely an aspect of Chinese life, from shamanism to violent rebellion, that Ching doesn't touch upon in this fascinating work. Through his vivid and personal portraits of his ancestors the history of China itself unfolds: from the days of the ancient empire to its radical transformation today.
