![]() ![]() In her fourth Agatha Christie adaptation in conjunction with Agatha Christie Limited and Mammoth Screen, BAFTA nominated writer Sarah Phelps continues to explore the 20th century through the work of Britain’s greatest crime writer. If Poirot is to match his most cunning nemesis everything about him will be called into question his authority, his integrity, his past, his identity. As Poirot attempts to investigate he is thwarted on every front by a police force that no longer trusts him, a public that no longer adores him, and an enemy determined to outsmart him. They strike in a methodical pattern and leave a copy of the ABC railway guide at the scene of each of murder. The year is 1933 and a killer stalks Britain, known only as A.B.C. Widely regarded as one of Agatha Christie’s best mysteries, The ABC Murders is one of the most surprising and unusual appearances by literature’s most famous detective. Poirot returns in a new adaptation of one of his most exhilarating cases. ![]() ![]() So, yeah, it's hard to get him thrown in jail. Peachum, tries to get his revenge by throwing Mac in jail, but to his chagrin the chief of police is Mac's BFF. ("Marries" is in quotes because it's not exactly a legal ceremony.)

Check out Cindy Lauper's recent version on Broadway. The play premiered in 1928 in Berlin, and has been staged in many languages all over the world since then. (That means audiences keep coming back for more.) ![]() A costume shop where beggars go to make themselves look more pitiful London's most wanted man and his best buddy, the chief of police the prostitutes that love them-these are the elements that make Bertolt Brecht's play The Threepenny Operaa perennial favorite. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only reason I stopped being rational was because something irrational happened to me. "What kind of rational person would ever believe the truth? Who wouldn't laugh when someone tells them it's possible to move from one body to another? That's how I reacted at first. But that one day changes them irrevocably, and leaves them longing for more, for forever. After taking over the body of Nathan for one day, A had the chance to spend more time with Rhiannon, finally telling her the truth of why they can't be together. But once you feel that, how can you give that away, even if that's the rule your life has always followed. One day, A met Rhiannon and felt that connection. It's a hard way to live, and A is lonely, longing to make a connection and feel the love that so many of the bodies they reside in get to feel. ![]() Each day A has to navigate that person's life and try not to do any damage, simply stay the course so that no one around them notices anything different.

"Over the Moon": The Creation and Development of Rent by Jonathan Larsonĭigital Repository at the University of Maryland Jonathan Larson, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics, began working on the American rock opera Rent in 1989, when playwright Billy Aronson sought a collaborator for an adaptation of Giacomo Puccini’s opera La Bohème (1896) set in contemporary New York City. My analysis of material from the Larson Collection and the interviews of others involved in Rent's development reveals the story of how this unconventional rock musical made it to the stage, highlighting the importance of vision, but also of revision and collaboration. ![]() In this study, I use the Jonathan Larson Collection, donated to the Library of Congress in 2004, to examine this seminal work and composer by tracing Rent's development and documenting Larson's creative process. The story of Rent has been told and retold in the popular media, but a look at Larson's own drafts, notes, and other personal writings adds another important and largely missing voice - Larson's own. Despite its critical acclaim and commercial success, the hit musical Rent by Jonathan Larson has received scant attention in academic literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, there has been no previous in-depth examination of this 'resemblance'. Previous scholars have noted the resemblance between Sartre's and Augustine's ontologies: to name but one shared theme, both thinkers describe the human as the being through which nothingness enters the world. ![]() ![]() Focusing on Being and Nothingness, Kate Kirkpatrick demonstrates that Sartre's concept of nothingness (le néant) has a Christian genealogy which has been overlooked in philosophical and theological discussions of his work. On the standard reading, Sartre's most fundamental and attractive idea is freedom: he wished to demonstrate the existence of human freedom, and did so by connecting consciousness with nothingness. more Sartre on Sin: Between Being and Nothingness argues that Jean-Paul Sartre's early, anti-humanist philosophy is indebted to the Christian doctrine of original sin. Sartre on Sin: Between Being and Nothingness argues that Jean-Paul Sartre's early, anti-humanist. ![]() ![]() ![]() More than 20 states are expected to introduce laws to restrict or ban access to abortion, with many already having laws or constitutional amendments in place. The exception was that a woman would have the right to have an abortion if the pregnancy posed a risk to her life. The government can prohibit abortions in the third trimester as the foetus's survival rate outside the womb becomes higher.The states have the right to regulate but not ban abortions in the second trimester.All women in the US have the right to an abortion in the first three months (trimester) of pregnancy.This court ruling prevented all 50 US states from banning abortion access outright and established a new national framework for abortion. They said that, while America's constitution made no mention of abortion, the right to privacy was implied and that should extend to a person's reproductive decisions. ![]() In 1973, the judges ruled by a 7-2 majority that the Texas law was unconstitutional. Ms McCorvey argued against the defendant - Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade - that the Texas laws were unconstitutional because they were vague and violated her right to privacy.Īfter years of legal challenges and appeals supported by the US women's rights movement, her case was eventually heard by the Supreme Court. ![]() Norma McCorvey's landmark case legalised access to abortion. ![]() ![]() I love the look of it - I think that the theme works well with the nature of the novel. The first novel by Mary Hogan that I have read, I was drawn in by the cover.

Libby Madrigal's life is falling into place. Another hysterical novel by author Mary Hogan, The Serious Kiss is a sparkling gem of a story that lets you escape for a while into the madcap world of fourteen year old Libby Madrigal. ![]() ![]() Health & Daily Living - Toilet Training.He lives with his wife, Patricia, in Toronto.

I relate to both Noam and Dara in different ways. What character do you most relate to and why? They end up being really different in the end, of course, but a lot of my books have that musical inspiration. ![]() I’ve written whole books just ‘cause I wanted to turn a certain song into novel form. Song lyrics are one of my biggest influences. I also may or may not have had this massive playlist of songs I’d listen to on repeat when writing. For me, I wrote this through the lens of being Jewish American (for Noam: Atlantian-Carolinian), but I think this is an experience a lot of different groups have shared. On the intergenerational trauma side, I wanted to write a story that touched on the experience of feeling like an outsider in your own country. ![]() Specifically, I wanted to write about what it means to face our trauma, and the way the world can demand that we “have” to confront our abusers in order for trauma to be viewed as legitimate. One of the main things I wanted to write about was the intersection of intergenerational and personal trauma. Victoria: That’s hard to nail down, because The Fever King is the amalgamation of a lot of separate initial ideas…and I actually wrote like six different initial drafts of this book trying to figure out what story I was actually trying to tell.
