A good man. A good husband. A good father. And no one cared. Jam packed with emotion, follow the journey of a family man whose passion for his family cost him everything. If the only thing you loved was taken from you, would you kill or forgive? Die, or die trying? As he attempts to pick up the pieces and struggle with relevance, enter the girl of his dreams. Will he summon the courage to find the passion to love again?

Our hero, a local boy, suddenly loses the love of his life to a mysterious medical development. He is lost without her. Forced to wander through life with a great big hole in his heart. And then the age old questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do now? Where should I go? Now there is the suggestion her abrupt departure could have been due to foul play. With the assistance of his new occupation, he begins the investigation, but that opens up the doors to several new, unforeseen complications that may eventually lead to his own demise, among others. Imagine if you will, at your disposal is unlimited resources, unlimited choices, and you could marry anyone your heart desired, but the one you desired wasn't available. What would you do? Marry someone else? Or wait? Watch and wait? What if the mere thought of groping, or being groped by, someone else, was such a disgusting proposition that you would rather choose to be celibate? Would you die a virgin? Follow along in this Tom Sawyer like adventure as this story takes twists and turns you never saw coming.

Enter Duncan: not your average assassin. More on the romantic side. Then there's Aubrey. Not your average leader of America's most secret organization designed to fight domestic terrorism. Now throw an old flame into the mix and watch the fireworks.

Fall in love, as I have, with these two characters as they struggle to save their marriage. With the help of the good doctor, they make progress until the big bang leaves everyone wondering what will happen next. Like any good crime mystery, this story will take twists and turns until you give up on what could possibly happen next. So the best thing you could do is sit back and enjoy the story. I did. Besides, if you have a hearty laugh and a good cry along the way, all the better.

Als ich die Formulierung "performatives Lehren und Lernen" zum ersten Mal hörte, wurde ich an eine Aussage von Wittgenstein erinnert: "Ein neues Wort wirkt wie ein frischer Same, der auf den Grund der Diskussion geworfen wird" - so heißt es einem Beitrag zu diesem Band in der SCENARIO-Buchreihe zur Förderung des interkulturellen Dialogs innerhalb der Drama- und Theaterpädagogik. Sechs Beiträge sind in diesem Band versammelt, jeweils in einer deutschen und englischen Fassung, die performatives Lehren, Lernen und Forschen aus drama- und theaterpädagogischer, allgemeinpädagogischer sowie fremdsprachendidaktischer Perspektive beleuchten. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass das Wort "performativ" in vielen Sprachen geläufig ist, wird - insbesondere in interkulturellen Kontexten - für seine Verwendung plädiert, um Zugänge zum Lehren, Lernen und Forschen zu charakterisieren, die aus dem dynamischen Zusammenspiel von Pädagogik und performativer Kunst entstehen.When I first heard the phrase "performative teaching and learning" I was reminded of a quote from Wittgenstein that "a new word is like a fresh seed thrown on the ground of the discussion." These are the opening words of an article in this volume of the SCENARIO book series, whose goal it is to advance the intercultural dialogue within drama and theatre pedagogy. The six contributions to this anthology, in both English and German, explore performative teaching, learning, and research from multiple perspectives: general education, foreign language didactics, as well as drama and theatre pedagogy. Since the word "performative" features in many languages, we advocate its use - particularly in intercultural contexts - to characterise approaches to teaching, learning, and research that emerge from the dynamic interplay of pedagogy and the performing arts.
