Download or read book I ll Leave It To You written by Noel Coward and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noel Coward's book "I'll Leave It To You" is a compelling play that revolves around the life of a young woman named Victoria Gayforth, who suddenly finds herself faced with the responsibility of making life-altering decisions. Written in Coward's signature witty and sophisticated style, the play showcases his keen observation of human nature and societal norms. The dialogue-driven narrative and cleverly crafted characters make for an engaging read that delves into themes of independence, choice, and personal agency. Set during the early 20th century, the play reflects on the shifting social dynamics of the time, making it a valuable piece of literature for those interested in British theater history. Noel Coward, known for his sharp wit and talent for writing plays that combine humor with deeper reflections on life, was a prominent figure in British theater during the mid-20th century. His own experiences with navigating complex social situations and personal choices likely influenced the creation of this thought-provoking play. I highly recommend "I'll Leave It To You" to readers who appreciate well-crafted dialogue, nuanced characters, and a blend of comedy and drama. Coward's insightful portrayal of human nature and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era make this play a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today.

Download or read book That Kiss From Heaven Fell On My Heart written by C. Nicole Treadwell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicole Treadwell has a secret. If she reveals it, she will surely die. Of course, she knows it´s true because certain death is what he promised her after the "incident" in the deep woods years ago. Her fate ever in his hands, keeping the secret guts her on the inside as she struggles to make ends meet, serving as a law clerk to a dangerously ambitious judge in the Nation’s Capitol with secrets of her own. Nicole is tired--exhausted--toying with thoughts (she´s afraid to own) of letting life go. Her life is unraveling, her sound mind frayed. At the end of herself, she knows she can’t save herself, but who can? Worse, does she want to be saved? A swift reply to both questions comes in the way of a still, small voice at an unlikely time that ushers her onto a path few dare to tread or openly discuss. In contrast, Nicole´s former law school chumb and classmate, Timothy Grue, is a hotshot, private attorney who blazes notorious trails in and out of the courtroom. Both handsome and brash (owing to his kinship with privilege and social standing of a “fine” Philadelphia family), he seems to have the world on a string, every creature comfort easily within his reach, including an overabundance of company from the “fairer sex.” Despite his privilege and pedigree, Tim later learns that it came at a very high price. By a stroke of legal fortune (or misfortune), their paths collide professionally, as Tim is handpicked to represent an "A-List" Hollywood client in a lawsuit over which Nicole´s boss is the presiding judge. Not so secretly, the judge relishes the prospect of having her “fifteen seconds of fame” before the world press. Her staff knows that the attention from the paparazzi may prove to be her professional undoing--and theirs. Her job potentially on the line, Nicole contacts Tim Grue for a clandestine meeting of the minds, but will Tim take the bait and “sign on” to Nicole’s “harmless” solution? Their former friendship (on course to self-ignite or implode) sets in motion a chain of events that blast open the door to Nicole´s secret past and their bitter-sweet history; and where crises of identity, spirituality, and morality intersect, conflicting issues of race and class deepen already murky waters, as Nicole is black, and Timothy is white. Yet, as between the two, they want to know why race is still an issue at all? On the road from hell to higher ground, both learn that anything worth having is always tried by fires of a faith that asks, simply, what do you really believe? And more, can redemption ever come too late?

Book excerpt: The eighth volume in the Coward Collection includes I'll Leave It To You and The Young Idea, the first of Coward's plays ever to be produced.

This Was a Man, a slightly later play, was written in 1926, after the successes which made his name. It was originally banned by the Lord Chamberlain "for facetious adultery".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapter I: “In the southeastern extremity of Canada, jutting out into the blue waters of the Atlantic, holding on to the great mainland of North America only by one narrow arm or isthmus, is the green and fertile little peninsula called Acadie, land of abundance, by the French and Indians, and Nova Scotia, New Scotland, by the baronet Sir William Alexander, when in it was ceded to him by his most worshipful majesty, King James the First of England. Projected, pushed out from the mainland as it is, the province is pre-eminently a child of the sea. Her wealth comes from it; her traffic is over it; it keeps her warm in winter; it cools her in summer. Old Father Atlantic, savage, boisterous old parent that he is, dashing so often the dead bodies of her children against her rockbound coasts, is yet her chief guardian and protector, and the one who loves her most. He is on all her sides, lapping her grassy shores, breaking against her frowning cliffs, and running away up into the land, wide, blue tongues of water, where foreign ships can ride at anchor and give to lovely Nova Scotia their fairest merchandise.”
