Book SynopsisExplores the key role of dramatic episodes that occur offstage and beyond the knowledge-generating faculty of playgoers' sight. Does Ophelia drown? Is Desdemona unfaithful to Othello?

New Directions Publishing Corporation On the High Wire
Book Synopsis“On the High Wire is fascinating to read. You will learn about the man, his work, his passion, his tenacity and lucidity” (Marcel Marceau)Trade Review"In the hand it feels like a guidebook and reads like a dream diary. The book is both of those things." -- Michigan Quarterly Review"What most recommends On the High Wire is the voice of its author. Petit’s style, true to his title of the Magician of High Altitudes, captivates." -- Zach Davidson - The Brooklyn Rail"What sets Philippe in a class all his own is his restless quest to conquer the greatest physical heights, achieving a precise balance of chaos and creativity. He is an inspiration." -- Mikhail Baryshnikov"Philippe Petit is an artist whose theater is the sky." -- Robin Williams"This is a book of instructions to those who will dare one day the impossible. It shows the art to fill and illuminate the Void, a void between two towers, two edges of a ravine, or two planets, or the space between heart and mind. A wire connects what would have been separated in loneliness forever. I salute you, Philippe, the Fragile Man of the Wire, the Emperor of the air. Like Fitzcarraldo you are one of the ever so rare and wondrous men: a Conquistador of the Useless. I bow my head in reverence." -- Werner Herzog

Here, her treasures are brought together in 289 photographs from her own collection, with extended captions by her daughter, Maria Riva. We see Dietrich across the years and roles of her life: a child, a young actress in Berlin, a newlywed, a devoted American, a mother, and of course, a glamorous Hollywood legend.

The University of Alabama Press The Glory Road A Gospel Gypsy Life
Book SynopsisIn this touching memoir, Anita Faye Garner re-creates her remarkable upbringing. The Glory Road carries readers back to the 1950s South and the intersections of faith and family at the very roots of American popular music.Trade ReviewThis is a story so central to the origins of country music: the marriage of Saturday night and Sunday morning, and the literal marriage of two musicians, sometimes at odds with each other creatively and personally. The song written by Fern Jones 'I Was There When It Happened' was performed around the world by my dad and the Tennessee Three, became the title of the memoir of Marshall Grant (the bass player in the Tennessee Three), and was revived yet again when I performed it every night on a recent tour I did with Ry Cooder. Anita Garner was 'there when it happened,' and her book tells us what we ought to know." - Rosanne Cash"The Glory Road takes us to an important cultural crossroad of America - where gospel met rockabilly, and Saturday night collided with Sunday morning in the late 1950s in the Deep South. It's also a very personal family story of a deeply religious preacher, Raymond Jones, whose wife, Fern, had a big voice and even bigger musical ambitions. Anita Garner's recounting of her parents' lives-their tensions and travails on the 'gypsy road' of tent revivals and recording studios-echoes one of her mother's most famous songs: 'I Was There When It Happened.'" - Dayton Duncan, writer/producer of Ken Burns' Country Music"The Glory Road touches several bases: southern culture, family life, the evangelical ethos, commercial music, migration, and spousal relations. It will appeal to both a general and specialized audience." - Michael T. Bertrand, author of Race, Rock, and Elvis "I'll admit I didn't know the music of Sister Fern and The Joneses until now. So, The Glory Road has introduced me to some exciting and important music. But, even more than that, the story itself will stick with me. I don't expect to forget these characters." - Burgin Mathews, coauthor of Doc: The Story of a Birmingham Jazz ManTable of Contents Author's Note Chapter 1. Route 66 Chapter 2.

Wings Press Kd A Jazz Biography
Book SynopsisWritten in tightly constructed rhymed quatrains, this is the first biography of internationally acclaimed Texas jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham. Beginning in 1963 with Dorham's recordings in Denmark, this book-length poem traces the story of the Texan's career performing with the greatest musicians of the bop and hard bop eras in jazz history.Trade Review“To call this work on Kenny Dorham a labor of love is an understatement. Dave Oliphant has taken even the most mundane details of this great jazzman’s life and turned all of it into poetry.” —Krin Gabbard, author, Hotter Than That: The Trumpet, Jazz, and American Culture“With an astoundingly unique structure of line length and rhyme, Dave Oliphant has incorporated and turned into poetry a vast and impressive knowledge of jazz. The text and its deeply researched factual information and, at times, nearly Shakespearean and Spenserian richness of language will long provide and provoke both pleasure and scholarship.” —David Ray, author, Music of Time: Selected and New Poems“You'll want to have your Dorham vinyl records or CD reissues close by to listen anew to the sounds the poet calls forth.” —Joe W.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Rise Up
Book SynopsisChris Jones is the longtime chief theater critic and Sunday culture columnist of the Chicago Tribune, where he has been on staff since 2002. Throughout the 1990s, he covered Broadway and its tours for Variety. He is author of Bigger, Brighter, Louder: 150 Years of Chicago Theater (2013) and his work has appeared often in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and many other publications. Jones read Drama at the University of Hull, UK, and has a PhD from The Ohio State University. In 2011, Jones was named by American Theater magazine as one of the most influential theater critics in America. In 2014, he became the director of the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Critics Institute in Waterford, Connecticut. Jones is a winner of the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism, the most prestigious honour for drama critics in the United States.Trade ReviewFrom Angels in America to Hamilton, so many Broadway shows have made important statements to their audiences, causing them to examine the reality of their lives. Chris Jones has written a wonderful history of that era that is extremely well-researched. His writing is lively and crisp, and his stories are well-told and entertaining. Anyone who loves theatre or cultural history or social commentary will love this book. This book deserves broad readership beyond those groups by anyone interested in our society today. * Manhattan Book Review *There is much to be praised, and so often the details are beautifully stated in the author’s clean, accessible voice ... Jones’ prowess as a critic is on great display here; shows you’ve never seen come startlingly alive on the page, their essence boiled down, their heart and soul expertly explained. What shines through most is Jones as a giddy chronicler of ideas and a lover of the theater, eager to draw the line from his own knowledge of the art form to what is happening offstage. * Third Coast Review *In his new book, “Rise Up! Broadway and American Society from ‘Angels in America’ to ‘Hamilton,’” Chris Jones … has chronicled the era in a singularly creative way, bringing to bear his prodigious gift for tapping into the nexus of artistic innovation, the business of show business, new forms of audience engagement, and (as the book’s title so clearly proclaims), the political fevers that can emerge during a given period of history … Whether you booed or applauded for all or some of the many plays and musicals discussed in “Rise Up!” there is no denying that Jones has vividly caught the unsettled spirit of the times in which they came to the stage. And given the wildly melodramatic nature of our current moment on this planet he leaves you wondering just where the theater might be headed over the course of the next 25 years. * Hedy Weiss, WTTW *Chris Jones [writes] cogently and intelligently in a fashion that is easy to read and understand. In fact, this is a real page turner. * British Theatre Guide *A vivid compelling read that will form an important part of any Broadway-lover's bookshelf * Matt Wolf, theatre critic *Some critics get it right, some critics get it wrong, but Chris Jones is one of the only critics who consistently reviews all shows trying to be helpful to its creators so they can put right what is wrong. Chris brings his formidable analytical skills to examining the theatrical tissue and political discourse that has led to the spectacular rebirth of the American play and musical on Broadway. A hugely informative resume of the rise up over the last 25 years of the American theatre from “Angels in America” to “Hamilton”. It puts you into the room as it happened. * Cameron Mackintosh, theatrical producer *Table of Contents1. 1993: An Angel Lands 2. 1994: The Committed Solo Voice Emerges 3. 1996: Paying Rent 4. 1997: The Lion King, the Exotic Narrative and the Return of the Family to the Theater 5. 1999: The Short-order Cook with the Moral Conscience and the Epic Idea 6. 2001 Mythic Healing for a Nation in Pain 7. 2002: Urinetown, Spamalot and the Rise of the Meta 8. 2002: Edward Albee Roars Again and Brings on Others 9. 2007: American Familial Tragedy, Recalibrated for the Now 10. 2010: American Idiocy, the Musical Collage and America Walking Together 11. 2011: Bloody, Bloody, Self-Awareness 12. 2011: Spider-Man, the End of Auteurism and the Great Over-reach 13. 2014: The Lorraine Hansberry Renaissance, Broadway Finds Itself at One with the Obama Administration, and Hope Emerges 14. 2015: Hamilton, the Game-changer, Only It Wasn’t Ever Really a Game Bibliography Index

Kensington Publishing Elizabeth and Monty
Book SynopsisViolet-eyed siren Elizabeth Taylor and classically handsome Montgomery Clift were the most gorgeous screen couple of their time. Over two decades of friendship they made, separately and together, some of the era''s defining movies--including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Misfits, Suddenly, Last Summer, and Cleopatra. Yet the relationship between these two figures--one a dazzling, larger-than-life star, the other hugely talented yet fatally troubled--has never truly been explored until now. Monty, Elizabeth likes me, but she loves you. —Richard BurtonWhen Elizabeth Taylor was cast opposite Montgomery Clift in A Place in the Sun, he was already a movie idol, with a natural sensitivity that set him apart. At seventeen, Elizabeth was known for her ravishing beauty rather than her talent. Directors treated her like a glamorous prop. But Monty took her seriously, inspiring and encouraging her. In her words, That''s when I began to act.
