Book excerpt: Morna works as a cleaner in Edinburgh. She spends her time drinking, attempting affairs and trying to work out the mind of the twenty-year-old son with whom she shares her flat. Her elder brother, Athol, lives near Glasgow airport with his wife. The owner of a floor-tiling company, with two grown-up children, he's proud of his hard-won achievements since moving west. Between them, they have differing memories of their upbringing and their parents and definite opinions about each other. But these are left unsaid because Morna and Athol haven't spoken a word to each other in fourteen years . . . When Morna's son Joshua travels to see his uncle, he sets off a remarkable and life-changing series of events. A Slow Air by David Harrower premiered at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow, in April 2011, and transferred to the Traverse Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Download or read book The Modern Stage and Other Worlds Routledge Revivals written by Austin E. Quigley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern plays are strikingly diverse and, as a result, any attempt to locate an underlying unity between them encounters difficulties: to focus on what they have in common is often to overlook what is of primary importance in particular plays; to focus on their differences is to note the novelty of the plays without increasing their accessibility. In this study, first published in 1985, Austin E. Quigley takes as his paradigm case the relationship between the world of the stage and the world of the audience, and explores various modes of communication between domains. He asks how changes in the structure of the drama relate to changes in the structure of the theatre, and changes in the role of the audience. Detailed interpretations of plays by Pinero, Ibsen, Strindberg, Brecht, Ionesco, Beckett and Pinter question principles about the modern theatre and establish links between drama structure and theatre structure, theme, and performance space.

Download or read book Taking Care of Baby written by Dennis Kelly and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'None of this is the truth. It's just people saying things. It's all subjective. There's the truth, and there's what people think is the truth, and it all depends on how you slant it...' Taking Care of Baby tackles the complex case of Donna McAuliffe, a young mother convicted of the murder of her two infant children. In a series of probing interviews the people in this extraordinary story, including Donna herself and her bewildered mother Lynn, reveal how they may have harmed those they sought to protect. Dennis Kelly's ambitious play uses the popular techniques of drama-documentary and verbatim theatre to explore how truth is compromised by today's information culture.

Download or read book Tiger Check written by Steven A. Fino and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The fielding of automated flight controls and weapons systems in fighter aircraft from 1950 to 1980 challenged the significance ascribed to several of the pilots' historical skillsets, such as superb hand-eye coordination--required for aggressive stick-and-rudder maneuvering--and perfect eyesight and crack marksmanship--required for long-range visual detection and destruction of the enemy. Highly automated systems would, proponents argued, simplify the pilot's tasks while increasing his lethality in the air, thereby opening fighter aviation to broader segments of the population. However, these new systems often required new, unique skills, which the pilots struggled to identify and develop. Moreover, the challenges that accompanied these technologies were not restricted to individual fighter cockpits, but rather extended across the pilots' tactical formations, altering the social norms that had governed the fighter pilot profession since its establishment. In the end, the skills that made a fighter pilot great in 1980 bore little resemblance to those of even thirty years prior, despite the precepts embedded within the "myth of the fighter pilot." As such, this history illuminates the rich interaction between human and machine that often accompanies automation in the workplace. It is broadly applicable to other enterprises confronting increased automation, from remotely piloted aviation to Google cars. It should appeal to those interested in the history of technology and automation, as well as the general population of military aviation enthusiasts."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Il caso Ges Cronache della Passione e morte del profeta di Nazareth written by Beppe Amico and published by Giuseppe Amico. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In questo saggio dedicato alla Passione e morte di Gesù, l’autore pone in rilievo non tanto l’aspetto spirituale quanto quello delle vicende storiche, con particolare attenzione ai momenti che hanno preceduto l’arresto di Gesù e a quelli subito successivi fino alla risurrezione e ascesa al Cielo, i quali se da un lato sono pregni di significato spirituale per la nuova Chiesa che si stava formando a quei tempi, dall’altro costituiscono da più di due millenni tema di accese discussioni fra gli storici. In questo libro si cerca di indagare aspetti in qualche modo inediti dello spaccato di vita conclusivo del profeta di Nazareth. L’attenzione dell’autore è concentrata su temi diversi tra i quali le argomentazioni politiche dell’arresto di Gesù, le diverse tappe che l’hanno condotto al Calvario, i presunti due processi che egli avrebbe subito, le modalità della flagellazione e della coronazione di spine e non solo. Nell’inchiesta l’autore indaga su temi minori quali, ad esempio, come venne trasportata la croce al luogo del supplizio, come Gesù venne inchiodato al patibulum, cosa accadde nelle ultime tre ore della sua vita e, in conclusione dell’inchiesta, si cercherà di capire se è possibile dare credito a tutto ciò che da oltre due millenni la Chiesa professa in merito alla risurrezione di Gesù e alla sua ascesa al Cielo. Quelle che vengono presentate, sono tesi ricostruite da fonti attendibili, scaturite da testimonianze e contributi di teologi e religiosi, scrittori e giornalisti cattolici che con il loro autorevole parere aiuteranno il lettore a dipanare le ombre che da secoli avvolgono quello che da molti storici viene considerato, ancora, uno dei misteri più grandi della fede cattolica. Ricordiamo che quello che viene qui proposto è il contenuto degli ultimi tre capitoli del libro “Jesus – inchiesta su Gesù di Nazareth” di Beppe Amico, pubblicato nell’ottobre del 2015 e disponibile in tutte le migliori librerie. L’editore ha deciso di raccogliere in un volume a parte i soli brani relativi alla Passione e morte di Gesù come fossero un’opera a se stante. Siamo convinti che il testo possa essere letto anche avulso dal contesto delle altre tappe fondamentali della vita di Gesù che potete trovare nell’edizione integrale del libro sopra citato.

Download or read book Sindone Passione Morte e Risurrezione di N S Ges Cristo written by Giorgio Sitzia and published by Gruppo Albatros Il Filo. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per Giorgio Sitzia, la Sacra Sindone è il simbolo della fede cristiana. Nel corso di questo saggio, attraverso ricostruzioni storiche, filologiche, fisiche e chimiche, l’autore spiega come il velo leggendario non sia solo l’oggetto di ampie ricerche; per chi crede, la Sindone è una vera e propria pagina nella quale sono registrati la vicenda di Gesù Cristo, le sue sofferenze e il suo sacrificio. Gli argomenti a favore di questa tesi sono contenuti negli esperimenti scientifici, nei passi tratti dai Vangeli e nelle testimonianze degli addetti ai lavori. Giorgio Sitzia attinge a un’ampia documentazione per liberare la reliquia da interpretazioni errate e imprecisioni di vario genere. A questa analisi corrisponde allora una riflessione sulla religione, sui rapporti fede-ragione e suggestione-pensiero critico. Credere all’autenticità della Sindone richiede credere alla verità cristiana e viceversa. Nella terra di mezzo tra mito e indizi storici, tra fascinazione biblica e verosimiglianza scientifica, risiedono forse alcune delle risposte al più grande enigma della nostra storia sacra. Giorgio Sitzia, nato a Cagliari nel 1946, è laureato in Medicina e specializzato in Igiene. Negli anni ’90 si è occupato di formazione del personale sanitario. Dal 2010 si è occupato di sindonologia e ha effettuato numerose conferenze sul tema “La passione e la risurrezione di N.S. Gesù Cristo secondo la Sacra sindone” e numerose altre sul tema “Introduzione alla Bibbia”.
