DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the fall of 2011, The Long Story Shorts One Act Festival was launched, featuring performances of short plays written by undergraduate students in the Writing for the Screen and Stage minor, an interdisciplinary, dramatic writing program housed in the Department of Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Marking the first five years of the festival, this anthology showcases works written to be performed in ten minutes with a small production budget. The festival gives students a unique opportunity to participate in a collaborative, developmental environment led by experienced faculty and professional actors and directors, and the plays included here rise to the occasion. Whether they are humorous, poignant, powerful, or provocative, they demonstrate why the short play form has become so popular; why this event has become one of the highlights of the university's cultural scene; and why the Writing for the Screen and Stage program has thrived.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHalf mythical, heroic and sagacious, the emperor Vikramaditya is widely regarded as India's greatest monarch. This collection of stories tells of the ruler's fabled encounter with a vetala, a genie who inhabits the body of a corpse. The emperor begs the spirit for his help against a mighty necromancer and is told in return twenty-four tales, each of which presents a situation he might face as a king and culminates in a riddle that he must solve. With each answer, Vikramaditya displays his deep wisdom, proving himself to be the ideal monarch and winning, in the twenty-fifth tale, the guidance he needs from the vetala to destroy his powerful enemy. Written down in medieval times but inspired by an oral tradition stretching back centuries, these wise and witty tales rank amongst the great masterpieces of Sanskrit literature.

Like when she thinks she hears the radio say her name. It tells her to turn left and it keeps her from colliding with a deer in the road. But the radio couldn't have saved her life. Could it? Whatever is going on in Faye's head, it definitely doesn't feel 'super'. Unless, of course, you count feeling 'super' awkward because you think you heard someone say one thing--like ask you out--but then, actually, it turns out they definitely didn't ask you out at all. So, mostly, Faye just feels 'super' confused. And she ends up saying all the wrong things and then everything ends up so much worse. So how can what's happening to her be anything but bad news? Faye's got to get to the bottom of some stuff: What's the deal with her Mom's new boyfriend? What is going on with Faye's quirky teacher? And, most importantly, what's up with the new guy and all his secrets? Not that she cares about that guy. Not at all. As life gets more intense and snowballs out of control, Faye needs to put the pieces together in order figure out what's going on in her little town. But to do that, she must somehow embrace the super-weird, super-awkward ability she's developing and learn to trust in herself.
