Mary finds a wonderful man, marries him and they build a life around each other. Meanwhile, meeting aspiring actress Coleen, she agrees to work in her new dress shop. Playing an Earls fiance, Coleen is required to corset herself down to twenty inches. Initially hating the constriction, she starts to love the feeling, the poise and her new sumptuous figure. Stage part over, her figure helps her to win Hollywood film parts. Mary finds that her own new corsetry entrances her husband. But the war and his Special Operations separate Mary from normality and death gives her a new profession: Widow. Marriage is for life but widowhood is not a life. Working in fashion, caring for a relative and having a young son is demanding. Months later, researching fabrics for leading stage productions, a psychic meeting, tight dress style and many admirers mean her single life is in the balance. This realisation takes her towards a second chance of committed love.

(Amadeus). Think opera's just about starving artists, vengeful goddesses, randy noblemen, and adulterous lovers? Think again. In So When Does the Fat Lady Sing? , Michael Walsh, the former music critic for Time magazine, takes audiences on a wise and witty dash through 400 years of operatic history and culture. More a freewheeling dialogue between author and reader than a traditional quiz book, So When Does the Fat Lady Sing? poses irreverent and impertinent questions designed not so much to test knowledge as to inspire and entertain both expert and novice alike.

With translation assistance and a foreword by Karen Juers-Munby First produced in 1998 at the famous Vienna Burgtheater, the remarkable and provocative Sports Play by Austrian playwright Elfriede Jelinek is a postdramatic theatrical exploration of the making, marketing and sale of the human body and of emotions in sport. It explores contemporary society’s obsession with fitness and body culture bringing into sharp focus our need to belong to a group, a team or a nation. Sport is seen as a form of war in peacetime.
