Someone is murdered, and with many of those attending disguised by their costumes, it’s not easy to know who is even there to be a suspect. Then someone makes everything easier, by confessing to the crime. It’s the last person anyone expects.

It explores his preoccupation with imprisonment and metamorphosis, and the desire of his characters to escape from bewildering roles, relationships and societies.Dancing on Hot Macadam is another volume in the excellent Studies inAustralian Literature series ...

Arjun’s plays have been commissioned by, and performed at some of the finest theatre festivals of Europe, including the Zurich Specktakel, the Vienna Festwochen, Linz 09, the Bharat Rang Mahotsav, and the International theatre festival of Kerala. It encompasses a two-decade-long theatrical exploration of the lives of contemporary Indians, both in the home country, and in the diaspora of Austria and Australia. The works are a chronicle and critique of political, and contemporary social relationships in South Asia and the diaspora. The collection is bookended by plays concerned with two cataclysmic world events. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre which is the backdrop for the first play, A Terrible Beauty is Born. Camp Darwin, the second last play in the anthology evokes a life lived in an Australian Quarantine Centre, during the present Coronavirus Pandemic. From the phenomenon of International Call Centres in India, to the political and economic fallout of a fast globalising India as played out over the bodies of its citizens, to the rise of Hindu Nationalism. Also the emotional trauma of Indian migrants in Austria, to issues of race and prejudice as experienced by the Indian Hawkers in 19th Century Australia. The authors own experience as a new migrant to Australia, the plays chronicle and critique the steady rise and increasing presence of South Asian/ Indian characters on the contemporary global creative consciousness. These Indian characters engage with American, Austrian, and Australian characters making for diverse and inclusive casts.

Book excerpt: Naked Dancing Thursdays Meet Sonny Vail, a 43-year-old network anchorman. Cursed with rotten ratings, Sonny is sucked into a wild-eyed plot to end world hunger. Finding Annie, the girl he loved and left, finding her embedded with the plotters (two quirky boyhood pals), only adds to his woes. As teenagers in the 1950's, "The Fox Street Four" fled their decaying South Bronx neighborhood, going their separate ways. Fast forward 25 years. They reunite as a TV anchorman, a fading Hollywood actress, a hell-bent-for-action celebrity lawyer and a wealthy but troubled humanitarian. The "boys" kick start their top-secret mission with a media hoax that panics financial markets worldwide. It's a sting to dazzle Newman and Redford. The story zips ahead from the Bronx to New Orleans to an impoverished Caribbean island., from a despot's prison to a federal campus for gentlemen felons. At climax, Sonny must take a giant emotional leap if he is to redeem himself and find his future. Naked Dancing Thursdays is about dueling obsessions and betrayal, about self-discovery, a first love revisited-and more.
Download or read book The Storymaker Man from Ban Ban Doree written by Peter Poidevin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book displays just one of the creative streams to which Sydney born, Peter Poidevin contributes. His output is prodigious as it is seemingly irrepressible. It has interspersed a varied and interesting working life, during which he worked with some of Australias best proponents in the hospitality industry. He managed and owned restaurants and clubs, then changed to taxi driving for twenty years on the Gold Coast in Queensland. These jobs brought him into contact with a great variety of people, but thats another story Through his acquaintance with musicians, he produced a CD of childrens songs which he had written. This CD, called Animals Oztralia has been widely distributed throughout the world and been very well received. The songs feature the unique native animals of Australia as well as Australian folklore. Though Peter is not able to write music or play a musical instrument, melodies and words come together in his mind, as he proceeds to write each song. These he then sings to the musician who writes and arranges the music for the song. Luckily he has access to some of the best musicians in Australia. Now retired and happily settled in Tasmania, he continues to write. His writings were brought to my attention with a view to have them illustrated. For me it has been a pleasure to contribute to his most interesting works.
Download or read book You re Not Ugly To Look At written by Cara Bristol and published by Cara Bristol. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s only the first twenty-seven years of marriage that are hard. Fact is funnier than fiction when romance author Cara Bristol gives us an inside peek into her own marriage and romance to “DH,” by sharing their private conversations. With snark and wit (and just a little spousal one-upmanship), they discuss the heavy issues of the day such as what to fix for dinner, the benefits of ice cream as a diet, which one of them got luckier when they got married, whether the president will get laid in White House on Inauguration Day, what they’ll do when they win the lottery, and squirrels. The author recalls unforgettable moments during their courtship, including how DH asked her to marry him (spoiler alert: it was the least romantic proposal in the history of the world) and the time he almost shot her. Their conversations are humorous and relatable to anyone who has ever had to live with a mate.

Book excerpt: Now a Hallmark Hall of Fame special, "When Love is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story, " this is the biography of Al-Anon creator and wife of AA cofounder Bill W. Lois Wilson, the wife of Alcoholics Anonymous cofounder Bill W., knew better than anyone that families, friends, and loved ones of alcoholics are also affected and need informed support and advice.

What a joy to revisit this friendship in his new achievement, The Lois Wilson Story. Bill Borchert will always be a seminal part of my life and now millions of others will get to appreciate his selfless devotion to the woman who founded Al-Anon and her mesmerizing story. Bravo, my friend." Emmy A ward-winning actor (My Name is Bill W.) James Woods"Bill Borchert shares the intimate recollections of Lois Wilson in an authentic and powerful tale of helplessness, hope, and fulfillment. This view of Lois' life with Bill Wilson and the birth and nurturing of the Twelve Step movement is awesome and rewarding. It is a page-turning read and a tribute to Lois, cofounder of Al-Anon, and her passion to bring healing to everyone affected by the family disease of alcoholism." -Johnny Allen, President/CEO, The Johnson Institute"The story that would complement that of Bill W's had yet to be written. And now, William Borchert has done the job. Borchert begins his book with an easy-flowing, active tense, almost fictional style that keeps you riveted on Lois and her love story. It's well done. I'll be reading and utilizing for research the Borchert story for many years." Dick B. (a pseudonym) Writer, Historian, retired Attorney, Author of 25 published titles on the history and spiritual roots of A.A.

Book excerpt: On their second trip to Australia, Ruth and Harold met a couple during a Great Barrier Reef cruise. They and their children eventually became great friends. Lynette and Rob had lived in Washington, DC and had traveled all over the world, but they had never been to the Outback. So when the opportunity to explore it under the sponsorship of the highly respected National Trust appeared, they seized the chance and invited the Harbaughs along. The almost three week journey involved one widely traveled American couple, 14 reserved Aussies, and a driver named Dave. Together they explored deserted telegraph stations, hidden water holes, and compelling Outback attractions rarely seen by outsiders. The well educated Australians aboard were expecting a university scholar to conduct this 8,000 mile circle that included 5 of the 7 Australian States and 1 Territory, but they ended up with Dave, a mate whose favorites subjects were beer, fishing, and lame, politically incorrect jokes.

Paterson and from events rooted in actual history, this is the untold story behind Australia's early years as an emerging nation.
