DUWAYNE: Traumatised by his best friend's murder, Duwayne Brooks was treated as a potential criminal instead of a witness. He faced years of torment by those who should have been on his side. He survived Stephen Lawrence's killers, but can he survive the Met? THE MITFORDS: Diana was married to Oswald Mosley and a lifelong fascist. Unity was a great close friend of Hitler. Jessica was a dyes-in-the-wool communist. Nancy was a well-loved novelist. This one-woman play follows four of the Mitford Sisters and their part in the world changing events of the twentieth century. THE HALF LIFE OF LOVE: Junot Diaz said the half life of love is forever. It remains toxic, poisoning life long after love is over. How does love and nurture turn to rejection and hatred? JOE HO HO: The parallels of Linda's life are extreme; on the one hand is the deep despair of life with a demented mother. On the other is a life of passion and sex with Joe, the man of her dreams. Using humour and tension, the play explores how the mind deals with pain and destruction.

Book Synopsis A Companion to British-Jewish Theatre Since the 1950s by : Jeanette R. Malkin
Download or read book A Companion to British-Jewish Theatre Since the 1950s written by Jeanette R. Malkin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of its kind, this companion to British-Jewish theatre brings a neglected dimension in the work of many prominent British theatre-makers to the fore. Its structure reflects the historical development of British-Jewish theatre from the 1950s onwards, beginning with an analysis of the first generation of writers that now forms the core of post-war British drama (including Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter and Arnold Wesker) and moving on to significant thematic force-fields and faultlines such as the Holocaust, antisemitism and Israel/Palestine. The book also covers the new generation of British-Jewish playwrights, with a special emphasis on the contribution of women writers and the role of particular theatres in the development of British-Jewish theatre, as well as TV drama. Included in the book are fascinating interviews with a set of significant theatre practitioners working today, including Ryan Craig, Patrick Marber, John Nathan, Julia Pascal and Nicholas Hytner. The companion addresses, not only aesthetic and ideological concerns, but also recent transformations with regard to institutional contexts and frameworks of cultural policies.

Download or read book Blonde Poison written by Gail Louw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-22 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blonde Poison is based on the true story of a Jewish woman during World War II who betrayed up to 3,000 fellow Jews. Gail Louw's powerful play examines the motivation of evil. Stella Goldschlag was living illegally in war-torn Berlin when she herself was betrayed and tortured. When offered the chance of saving herself and her parents from the death camps, she agreed to be a 'Greifer' for the Gestapo and inform on Jews in hiding. She was extraordinarily successful in this and her activities increased after her parents had finally been deported. The vast dimensions of Stella's character range from tortured victim to cruel killer, from loving daughter to betrayer of friends, from gentle lover to depraved promiscuity. She was given the name 'Blonde Poison' by the Gestapo who revelled in her treachery. Decades after the war Stella agrees to be interviewed by a well-respected journalist – her last chance for redemption. Can she ever be released from her past? Winner of an Argus Angel Award for artistic excellence (Brighton Festival 2012). Winner of the San Francisco Best Fringe Award 2016.
