Book excerpt: This collection of fifteen plays by Erik Ehn is part of an ongoing cycle of plays loosely based on the lives of saints and biblical characters ranging from John the Baptist to Joan of Arc. Placing the protagonists and their suffering in a modern context, Ehn produces what he calls "contemporary fairy tales for the stage." The subject matter, he explains in the Preface, is "exploded biography," or "the means by which the self is overmastered by acts of the imagination, by acts of faith." An important contribution to current explorations of the poetic and spiritual in the theater, these surprising dramas create their own language, interrogating the limits of empathy and faith. "The plays grow out of [Ehn's] deep Catholic faith which reveals a specifically Franciscan spiritual energy in its community-based ethos and hallowed desire to infuse contemporary life with a feeling for the divine... Ehn's saint plays partake of the century-long Judeo-Christian tradition of modern writers dramatizing the great themes of faith, evil, spiritual longing and soul states in plays that include saints, angels or biblical characters... His joyful drama sings the praises of the poetic voice and image in portraits of people crafted like beautiful holy cards."--Bonnie Marranca, Plays for the End of the Century

Download or read book The Plays of Saint Th r se of Lisieux written by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a period of about three years toward the end of her life, St. Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897) was asked by her Carmelite superiors to compose eight theatrical pieces for special occasions in her convent. She did not consider them mere trivial amusements. On the contrary, Therese invested herself wholeheartedly in the writing and performance of these little dramas, which provided a welcome opportunity to articulate her growing spiritual insights and share them with her religious community. Here we find echoes of her great themes, some where developed at greater length than anywhere else in her writings: Mary of Nazareth and Joan of Arc, humility and the little way, confidence and love, and so much more. In the present volume, for the first time, all eight of her plays (or pious recreations, as they are sometimes called in the French) are published together in their entirety for English-speaking readers. They open a new window onto the message of the church's youngest Doctor. Also included is a masterful general introduction by the noted Theresian expert, Bishop Guy Gaucher, O.C.D., as well as individual introductions to each play explaining it in context and significance.

Download or read book The Saint Plays with Fire written by J. Z. Ferguson and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Television drama rarely receives the analytical attention paid to a landmark painting, sculpture, play, poem or film, frequently marginalised as a piece of fleeting popular culture rather than 'a more lasting art form'. The disappearance of many 1950s and 1960s TV dramas - the videotape wiped and re-used - seems merely to confirm its temporary status. The emergence of television studies has helped to question this mind-set. Innovative television drama can rival any field of the arts in terms of material worthy of critical exploration. This series of books focuses on 'outstanding' examples of British television dramas, centring on a single episode in an attempt to explain what makes both the episode in particular, and the series in general, remarkable. The social context, script, characters sets/exteriors, music, and direction are all focal points. This Classic British Television Drama (CBTD) series of books continues with an exploration of The Saint episode The Saint Plays With Fire. A fierce indictment of Neo-Nazi nationalism, it is a great example of how the series, particularly in its monochrome era, could tackle dark subjects without losing sight of its stylish lighter notes.

Book excerpt: The now legendary character created by Leslie Charteris has survived nearly three-quarters of a century of perilous action and narrow escapes with nary a hair out of place nor the slightest jolt to his jauntily tipped halo. From his earliest days battling "crooks, blood suckers, traders in vice and damnation" (and cracking the occasional safe on the side), the Saint has captured the imaginations of millions. Using the voluminous correspondence and writings of author Leslie Charteris and examining the many incarnations of Simon Templar, alias "The Saint," in other media, a detailed history emerges. Includes plot synopses of the radio and television programs, with air dates and production credits; descriptions of the movies and their credits; a bibliography, reviews of the books, and quotes from the principals.
