Download or read book Tahrir Tales written by Mohammed Albakry and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten Egyptian plays in this collection offer grassroots perspectives on the jubilation, terror, hope and heartbreak of mass uprising. Collectively, they sketch events unfolding in Egypt from the twilight of Hosni Mubarak's regime to Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's ascendance to the presidency. A comprehensive introduction situates the plays within their social, political, and economic context, an in-depth translator's note delves into the challenges of translating Arabic for English-speaking audiences. Yasmeen Emam Shghaf's The Mirror and Hany Abdel Naser and Mohamed Mu'iz's They Say Dancing is a Sin explore how stigma and poverty silence women's voices. Sondos Shabayek and the BuSSy Company's documentary storytelling piece Tahrir Monologues and Said Solaiman's drama with movement The Window consider how collective mobilization empowers individuals to overcome personal fears. Ibrahim El-Husseini's symbolic ensemble drama Comedy of Sorrows and Ahmed Hassan Albana's melodrama In Search of Said Abu-Naga warn of the powerful forces waiting to hijack the revolution. Magdy El Hamzawy's satirical tragedy Report on Revolutionary Circumstances and Muhammed Marros's naturalistic three-hander The Visit reflect on how and why the revolutionary forces failed to dislodge the entrenched power structures. Ashraf Abdu's Coptic Church drama Sorrowful City foretells of a post-revolutionary deterioration into sectarian violence, and a stage adaptation of Khaled Al Khamissi's novel Taxi asks what has changed, if anything, for poor and working Egyptians in the years since Mubarak's overthrow.

Download or read book Tales for Shakespeare written by G. Thomas Olsen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suitable for students, researchers, thespians, and general readers, Tales for Shakespeare is an anthology of source stories behind seven of Shakespeareâ (TM)s most beloved, frequently studied, and regularly performed plays. It begins with a general introduction examining Shakespeareâ (TM)s creative process and the assumptions about creativity shared by writers and readers of his age. It asks whether or not Shakespeare was a plagiarist, before showing how even posing this question requires extensive historical and critical framing. The full texts of seven primary source stories are then presented, all in modern spelling and punctuation, with glosses and notes. Each story is preceded by a concise introduction which, like the general introduction, is written for students and a range of other readers. The volume includes questions for each text, a general glossary, and a list of recommended further reading. A new translation of a source story for The Merchant of Venice is also included.

He has also worked professionally in both storytelling and reader's theater, as a performer, director, and teacher trainer. Aaron's lively and meticulous retellings of folktales and other traditional literature have found homes with more than a dozen children's book publishers, large and small, and with the world's top children's literary magazines, winning him honors from the American Library Association, the New York Public Library, the Bank Street College of Education, the National Council for the Social Studies, and the American Folklore Society.

He has given thousands of us busy teachers and librarians a gold mine of ready-made plays our students clamor to perform over and over. Aaron's new collection never fails to delight and enthrall. While the experts argue about the 'right' way to teach reading, Aaron is in the middle of the action, inspiring our kids to read aloud with fluency, comprehension, expression, and best of all, joy." -- Judy Freeman, Author, "More Books Kids Will Sit Still For" "Aaron Shepard has done it! Folktales on Stage is a complete package of easy-to-perform, dynamic reader's theater scripts. Pack your passport and take a trip around the world. You and your actors will have a world of fun." -- Dr. Caroline Feller Bauer, Author, "Presenting Reader's Theater" and "New Handbook for Storytellers" "What a gift for the classroom teacher! Pure reading pleasure and not a single script that can't be used with small groups or an entire class. Performance reading builds fluency, but Aaron Shepard's gift for storytelling will also build appreciation. This collection will be a rich addition to reading programs in our balanced literacy classrooms." -- Susan Finney, Author, "Independent Reading Activities That Keep Kids Learning While You Teach Small Groups"
