Download or read book All in the Timing written by David Ives and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world according to David Ives is a very add place, and his plays constitute a virtual stress test of the English language -- and of the audience's capacity for disorientation and delight. Ives's characters plunge into black holes called "Philadelphias," where the simplest desires are hilariously thwarted. Chimps named Milton, Swift, and Kafka are locked in a room and made to re-create Hamlet. And a con man peddles courses in a dubious language in which "hello" translates as "velcro" and "fraud" comes out as "freud." At once enchanting and perplexing, incisively intelligent and side-splittingly funny, this original paperback edition of Ives's plays includes "Sure Thing," "Words, Words, Words," "The Universal Language," "Variations on the Death of Trotsky," "The Philadelphia," "Long Ago and Far Away," "Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue," "Seven Menus," "Mere Mortals," "English Made Simple," "A Singular Kinda Guy," "Speed-the-Play," "Ancient History," and "Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread."

Book excerpt: High drama and some low comedy in these two one-act plays by novelist Anne M. Holmes. In "That's Nice" we meet Charlotte and Emily, two senior editors at Chatsworth & Son, a publishing house once known for the quality of its authors. Now Charlotte is stuck with the tortured prose of Greville Marshall and Emily must cope with the fragrant euphemisms of Millicent Carruthers. They hide out in the staff lunch room trying to figure out how they can wash their hands of these hacks. "An Unhelpful Complication" is set in a council flat in south London in 1992, where recently appointed Tory cabinet minister Sir Ambrose Carrick is reunited with war correspondent Maggie McArthur, a woman he first met a world away and a lifetime ago. Both have secrets they will protect at any cost. This is a battle of wits. Who will still be standing at the end?
