"Poetry: According to the scholar and poet, Charles Stein: "Magic is pragmatic, or better performative, phenomenology. But phenomenology is the magic of ontogeny." Robert Podgurski's In the Shadow of This Branch is itself deeply invested in a thaumaturgy or wonder working of the magic of nascency. The poems in this collection beg the question of what leads up to and what is happening as things labor to come into being. As Michal Ajvas expressed in his novel, Empty Streets "I realized that in trying to express what a thing communicated, I was making a thing of the communication-an unusual and fantastic thing perhaps, but of what is not yet a thing, a matter from which things are formed." And yet, Podgurski is not so presumptuous as to assert he knows precisely what this process of emergence is, but that it warrants acknowledgment, further exploration, and to facilitate the possession of the senses in its sway"--

1604. A small village outside Oxford. Two boys have been murdered by local brute Brian Gunter at a football match and their mum wants justice. But Brian is also the richest and most powerful man in the village, and has an ego too fragile to tolerate public slander...A nasty feud begins, and when Brian's daughter Anne starts demonstrating strange afflictions, an allegation is made: she has been bewitched.Impassioned and highly theatrical, Dirty Hare's award-winning production of Gunter, co-created by Lydia Higman, Julia Grogan and Rachel Lemon, tells a true story of deception, witchcraft and football.The play premiered at Summerhall at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2023, where it was awarded a Scotsman Fringe First Award, Pick of the Fringe from both Playbill and Lyn Gardner, whilst Dirty Hare were named one of The Stage's Fringe Five list of breakout theatremakers. It transferred to the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2024.

Bertolt Brecht und Ernst Toller zählen zu den wichtigsten Dramenautoren der Weimarer Republik. Politisch gab es zu Lebzeiten zahlreiche Berührungspunkte zwischen beiden, und ebenso finden sich hinsichtlich ihres ästhetisch avancierten Anspruchs mit experimentellen Impulsen keineswegs nur im Feld von Theater und Drama Berührungspunkte. Dennoch lassen sich kaum Belege eines intensiveren Austauschs der Autoren finden. Ein Blick in die Forschung erweckt den Eindruck, hier setze sich dieses Schweigen fort. Dieser Band unternimmt es zum ersten Mal, die beiden Autoren und ¿uvres zu vergleichen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Dramen und der Dramenästhetik, aber auch Lyrik, Rundfunk, Frauenrollen, kollaboratives Arbeiten und Kanonfragen sind Themen der 20 Beiträge.

Book Synopsis: A promising young painter, Hawkins Shortreed, and his friend, a gifted sculptor, happen upon an abandoned seaside farm. The stately Eighteenth Century farmhouse, a barn, an overgrown graveyard, a contending granite cliff, and the surging ocean create strong illusions of past times and ghosts of past lives. How unsuspecting the artists are of the mystery and the danger attached to this idyllic property two and a quarter centuries before...mystery and danger which they stumble into. As bits of the mystery come together, so do misty hints of a legendary treasure which induces a burgeoning threat of danger at the hand of a powerful adversary.¿¿¿The remarkable reappearance of Hawkins' childhood sweetheart blossoms into more than romance. She becomes the innocent means of involving the two artists with others, some good and some less so, who all play important roles in their lives and involve them in the fate of a beautiful forest.¿¿Can the forest be saved? Can they solve the mystery and survive the clandestine physical danger and machinations secretly threatened by a powerful foe?Follow these youthful, inexperienced artists as the present interweaves with the past and their innocent guilelessness is entwined by menacing evil.Autobiography: Dr. Baldwin practiced medicine in New England for 32 years, the last 16, prior to his retirement, in Maine.

Indigo Giant is a gripping, haunting new drama inspired by Dinabandhu Mitra's trail-blazing Indigo Mirror, a play that shook colonial India.

The Annual General Meeting of the Labour Trade Union of Kenya in Sept 1936 fixed Oct 1936 for implementation of the eight-hour day .. In December 1936, the Union gave notices to employers that all wages should be increased by 25% from April 1937. The strike began on 1 April, 1937. It was a complete strike. A strike-committee was formed, picketing was organised, a free kitchen was started .. the decision was popularised through handbills, meetings in residential areas, works-discussions and public announcements (preceded by ringing of a large bell), in the the main thoroughfares of Nairobi, and daily mass meetings. The campaign created a new spirit among workers. The employers were at last compelled to reach a settlement. They agreed to wage-increase of 15-22%, to an eight-hour day and reinstatement of all workers. The workers resumed work on 2 June, 1937.- Makhan Singh (1969)Thus ended the longest, and the most successful, strike in the history of Kenya. But the sacrifices, the actions and the reality of the strike for workers is not captured by history books. Nor are the organisation by the East African Trade Union Congress and the role of its leader, Makhan Singh, fully understood. In going on strike for sixty-two days, the workers showed their industrial and political power, unmatched to this day.Shiraz Durrani's A Struggle of Sixty-Two Days is a welcome addition to a growing backlist of drama texts that draw on the rich and often hidden history of East Africa. A Struggle of Sixty-Two-Days sets itself apart from the tradition of historical plays before it by eschewing the use of a singular heroic figure to centre the drama. Instead, the play deliberately delivers the texture of the lived realities, skills and experiences of the workers who made a success of the longest and most consequential strike in the country's history, but also acknowledges the collaboration and support they drew from the people against the backdrop of the imperialist, racist and colonial era The 1937 strike would not only deliver an eight-hour working day as a right, besides wage increases, but would also be the seeding for mobilising the people of Kenya to challenge injustice and launch the fight for freedom. It is a struggle that pits the might of imperialist capital against the survival instincts of the oppressed and their quest for justice. The scenery and dialogue transport the reader back to 1937, but its echoes still ring true in continuing present-day clashes between labour and exploitative capital.- Kwamchetsi Makokha

Mondongo Scam & Ay Fefa, Where is the Wind?Since their premiere in 1994 at the Dance Theater Workshop in New York City, Mondongo Scam by Claudio Mir and Ay Fefa, Where is the Wind? by Zaida Corniel have continued to find bilingual audiences eager to engage with stories of migration.

Rostand described Les Romanesques as "a Romeo and Juliet with a happy ending". Percinet and Sylvette, the "all-too-romantic" title figures, love each other against their fathers' orders and consider themselves the new Romeo and Juliet. They meet in secret at the wall separating the gardens of their feuding fathers, hoping wistfully for an end to the hostilities, which does in fact come - from a source the young people could not have suspected - just in time for the first-act curtain. But real life is more than romance, and only when the lovers learn this, with the help of a swashbuckling swordsman named Straforel, can they find their true love for one another and their genuine happy ending.The success of Les Romanesques encouraged Rostand to continue to write verse dramas, leading to his masterpiece, Cyrano de Bergerac. The All-Too-Romantics is a foretaste of Rostand's later plays: here already are the wit, the verve and the panache, as well as the fluent, virtuosic verse - lyrical and humorous by turn. Here too is Rostand's idealistic enthusiasm for life. And the swordsman Straforel, the flamboyant liaison between romance and reality in The All-Too-Romantics, is a forerunner of Cyrano himself.After its premiere in 1894, Les Romanesques was swiftly translated into a dozen languages. It was the inspiration, in 1960, for The Fantasticks by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, which then went on to become the world's longest running musical.Genge Press is the brainchild of Sue Lloyd, created to make the works of Edmond Rostand more readily accessible to anglophones. Ms. Lloyd is the author of Rostand's only full-length biography in English, The Man Who Was Cyrano: A Life of Edmond Rostand. Other books published by Genge Press include: Sacred and Profane Love - Two Plays by Edmond Rostand: The Woman of Samaria and The Last Night of Don Juan in prose translations, and Rostand's final play, Chantecler, in the original French but fully annotated in English. All are in print.For more information on all our titles, please e-mail us at gengepress@btinternet.com or view our web site, www.cyranoandrostand2.com.

Chancen für die gewaltlose Vereinigung geteilter Nationen bestehen, wenn alle Beteiligten sie wollen: diejenigen, die von der Teilung bislang profitierten, ebenso wie alle von ihr Betroffenen, zumeist die Leidtragenden. Kurz gesagt, es muss zu einem Nutzenwandel der Teilung kommen. Nach 20 Jahren Entspannungs- und Ostpolitik gab es 1990 eine Situation, die ein vereintes, in Europa integriertes, Deutschland als besser für Frieden und Stabilität erscheinen ließ als dessen Teilung, welche ihren Nutzen verloren hatte. Deutschlands Normalisierungsprozess stößt in China, auf Taiwan und Zypern sowie in Korea auf großes Interesse. Seine Relevanz wird jedoch unterschiedlich eingeschätzt: als ein in Teilen anzustrebendes Modell oder aber als Tragödie. Nordkorea möchte eine solche Entwicklung auf jeden Fall vermeiden, Taiwan strebt ein gutnachbarschaftliches Verhältnis zur Volksrepublik China an, aber keine Wiedervereinigung. Die Republik Zypern wünscht sich eine Vereinigung wie in Deutschland. Die Türkische Republik Nordzypern möchte durch Normalisierung Anerkennung erreichen und eine möglichst lockere Konföderation. Nach wie vor ist der Entspannungs- und Vereinigungsprozess Deutschlands in diesen Ländern ein genau studierter Untersuchungsgegenstand, allerdings mit sehr selektiver Wahrnehmung. Zukünftige Entwicklungen zwischen der Volksrepublik China und Taiwan sowie auf der koreanischen Halbinsel werden auch direkte Auswirkungen auf Deutschland haben.

United Kingdom, Secret Intelligence Service. A story based on real events. Few people are deemed smart enough to be selected and trained as a spy for Her Majesty's Government, and fewer qualify. The Author is one such man, who uniquely, was chosen at the age of 16, the only person still to pass selection without an education through the university system.Carefully written to avoid revealing government secrets, this is his personal story, thrilling, surprising and an eye opener into the life of, An Ordinary Guy, A Philippine Spy. In this Andy's third book, he describes how while a controller for MI6, he was given the task to take over the control of spies in the Philippines from 1975 to 1986. His predecessor, who was retiring from the Service, passed him the file on the subject, but Andy felt he needed to start from scratch. He set himself an impossible timescale to recruit people inside places in Manila who could report the situation during the dictatorship of the Marcos regime.Andy describes in a very clear way how he never needed to bribe, blackmail or persuade in a way against the will of each individual to pass him information. He could receive a complete picture of the goings-on during those turbulent times. Andy himself would admit, much of his recruitment was due to incredible luck. If you have the skill to manipulate people do you need luck? You make your own.
