Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In the spirit of The African Queen and Romancing the Stone, ALIVE AND WELL tells the story of a mismatched pair. Carla, a big city reporter from the North, must reluctantly work with Southern tracker and Civil War reenactor Zach to research her story. In their quest, they exasperate each other and find much more than either bargained for. An entertaining joyride to make even skeptics believe in true love. 'Almost by definition, you know how a romantic comedy will end. Whether it's Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, or Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, in the final scene they will declare their love for each other. So the measure of a romantic comedy is how engaging the journey. The journey that is ALIVE AND WELL is well worth taking.' -Steve Heyl, Edge Los Angeles 'Wry charms . authentically funny.' -James Hebert, San Diego Union-Tribune 'There are laughs aplenty.' -Anne Marie Welsch, North County Times.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'I was skeptical, I'll admit. When a director tells me she's doing a comedy about torture, my first thought is that the show must be a little sick. My second is that the play will surely be in bad taste. After all, nice people don't laugh at things like that. But BRAZIL FADO is neither sick nor sickening. It's a nicely done piece of unusual theater. And it's funny. BRAZIL FADO is a whirlwind of action. At least three things are happening on stage simultaneously all the time, and it's not unusual for everyone to be talking at once. The show moves from scene to scene in a split second. Actors who were Brazilian prisoners a moment ago are now American tourists or representatives of the DuPont Corporation. The play is about the mean things people do to each other, sometimes from the best of motives. It is set in Brazil seen through the eyes of four newcasters, and in the bedroom of an American couple involved in kinky sex. The humor in BRAZIL FADO comes partially in the way playwright Megan Terry plays with our stereotypes of Brazil. While the real and imaginary Brazil are being explored in the action at the front of the stage, the rear of the stage gives us a look at American bedroom sports.an often hilarious take-off on bizarre sexual variations. BRAZIL FADO explores another possibility of theater, and does what it does very, very well. It is like nothing I've ever seen on stage before.' Anne Hillerman, The New Mexican.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - At an elite women's college in Massachusetts, two minor crises emerge during the fall semester: the philandering head of the English Department decides to callously end his affair with a colleague, and an aging professor is caught making unwanted sexual advances toward a student. But in the academic world of the early 21st century, there is no such thing as a minor crisis. For Jacob Freundlich, an English professor approaching middle age, the sudden necessity of making moral choices, rather than just teaching books about them, leads him into a devastating midlife crisis of his own. A comedy about the necessity, and the exquisite pain, of making choices. 'Honest, intelligent.the play's dialogue has the exactly right academic-faculty sound to it; clearly, Giardina knows of what he writes.' Variety 'A class act.a play well worth auditing.Giardina balances his banter about the great writers with penetrating looks into the lives of the male teachers.' Hartford Courant 'In BLACK FOREST.the playwright Anthony Giardina says volumes about changes between the '50s and the present . Attitudes toward transitions in educational, social and sexual attitude inform Mr Giardina's new play.' Alvin Klein, The New York Times 'Edgy and biting and funny.' Chronicle of Higher Education.…
