Book excerpt: Christmastime 2017, and the only thing the psychotic, but born with once-in-a-lifetime genius, ALBERT JOHNSON, wants is JILL PHILLIPS, the woman fueling his erotomania. The man screaming in the trunk of the Aston Martin heading into the Appalachian Mountains is how he plans to get her. When mutilated remains are discovered in an abandoned warehouse in Baltimore New Year's Day, DETECTIVES GARY ANDERSON and his partner, ANGELA OBONAUCH, are assigned the case. Gary believes it's the work of CARLOS DEGA, a gang leader who recently escaped from jail. Having spent his childhood abused and locked away in a shack of a home in rural Maryland, Albert's life completely derails when at eleven his father murders his mother in front of him. At sixteen, his dad's poor health forces the dysfunctional teen to seek employment, finding a janitorial position in Baltimore. Years later, he's staffed at a biopharmaceutical company where he fortuitously discovers research on advanced face transplants, allowing him to learn to perform them, even on himself, all the while scheming to kill Jill's husband and take his place. VICTOR ORTEGA, second in command of a gang named the Scorpions, taunted and mistreated Albert for years while working with him as a custodian at the same company as a means to cover up his criminal involvement. He pushes Albert to a breaking point and he kills Victor and his brother in ghastly fashion. When Carlos doesn't hear from Victor, he sends out a party of his men who go missing, too. Shortly thereafter, Albert transplants Jill's husband's face onto his own and shows up at her house, insisting the lights remain off while speaking little. The flustered and surprised Jill ultimately gives into the strangeness of the night despite feeling something's amiss because she'd been under the impression her husband was away on business. Hours later, she confirms her suspicions and sneaks off to the hospital where she learns her husband's been murdered and the imposter who raped her is related to her. Albert, upon returning home after his night with Jill, finds other gang members waiting for him and summarily kills them, too. He goes on the lam and sets up camp and a makeshift lab in the Appalachian Mountains where he transplants an officer's face onto his in order to kidnap Gary's girlfriend, GABBY MICHAELS, believing she's the bargaining chip to get Jill and gain safe passage. But Albert's scheme goes awry because he's too preoccupied with the persistent Carlos to notice Gary isn't following instructions. Unbeknownst to anyone, Angela's husband, CIA operative, DAVID OBONAUCH, has been tracking Carlos since locating him sometime after he escapes from prison. The inevitable confrontation on a dreary, blustery day between Gary, Carlos, David and Albert ultimately ends in Albert being shot and plunging from atop Blackwater Falls-the body's not immediately found, and Jill who lost so much, particularly her identity, leaves her family and life in Baltimore to go somewhere and try to make sense of it all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was not expected to survive. She became the lady in the mask. In October 1999, Pam Warren's life was turned on its head when she sustained horrific injuries in the Paddington rail crash. The casualties numbered thirty-one dead and over five hundred injured. Pam underwent scores of operations to rebuild her burnt body, and had to wear a plastic mask over her face for twenty-three hours a day over an eighteen-month period. Unwittingly, she became the public face of the disaster. Over a decade on from that terrible event, From Behind the Mask charts the true inside story of Pam's journey from victim to survivor and campaigner. Following the crash she became the UK's leading spokesperson for improving rail safety, battling with rail management executives and the government - and winning. She was branded a troublemaker, but Pam and fellow members of the Paddington Survivors' Group helped bring about great improvements on our railways. For years Pam remained focused on that campaign. Now, for the first time, she can tell us all what really happened. It is an inspirational story of determination and courage.

Download or read book Playing the Mask written by John Wright and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a wonderfully accessible introduction to a fresh and innovative acting technique for actors, theatre-makers and teachers to use in training and rehearsal. A mask releases the actor to be playful, and playfulness generates ideas, finds meaning, develops characterisation - and is infinitely more fun than traditional training.Rather than a dry guide to making masked theatre, it is about, for instance, playing Lady Macbeth in Red Nose, or Hamlet in the mask of The Victim, The Ogre or The Fool, or even Romeo and Juliet in grotesque half-masks... All in the name of liberating your creativity and, ultimately, improving your performance.Extensively illustrated with a rich variety of masks, this inventive and pragmatic book is full of invaluable games and exercises drawn from the author's own workshops, his experience as co-founder of both Trestle and Told by an Idiot, and his pioneering mask and clown work in many professional productions.

Download or read book Man As Mask Maker written by John Ammed Williams and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the Mask from its many contexts, placing an emphasis on the Mask's exclusiveness to that which is human. There is also a large section on the archetypal which has as its foundation and contribution a perspective of evolutionary psychology which is of a scientific approach to something persisting in cognition."For our own part, whatever is scientific in us is satisfied with the labeling of the Scarecrow as false and the license to treat it as so. However, a remaining part of us is compelled to treat the Scarecrow exactly as its initial fabrication intended." "The groups totem, represented by an animal or plant and further represented by a mask comes then to represent the supernatural as what is done to it becomes luck, fate, mana, curse, defilement or blessing.""There are injuries to the nervous system that result in the incapacity for the recognizing of old or the storing of new faces. Whatever underestimation of the face's importance is swiftly renounced as relationships cannot be cultured where one fails to identify the other.""There is not a linear relationship between primitive man's realization of the use of the Mask and the later triumph of a civilization. In the sense that a civilization is the binding of man, the Mask has an effectiveness of conducting the collective gaze and holding attentions. The mentality of the people dispersing from a Masquerade is better joined and as these people might reflect in the ensuing days, they are proclaimed a single fabric by which to do so. Should things be so manageable, social occurrences, within a group which shares a theatre, are not unrelated to this theatre and it is as though its language is socially elevated beyond anything that might come from a single person's lips in officiality."
Download or read book Mexican Masks and Puppets written by Bryan J. Stevens and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Mexican states of Puebla and Veracruz, old masked dances have survived in isolated mountain regions. These dances include wonderful masks of humans and animals, masks with beautiful, comic, or wicked faces. Created by Indigenous master carvers, mascareros, these masks and puppets appear during religious fiestas. Over 700 vivid color photos reveal these masks and puppets in all their glory. The thoroughly researched text answers the questions about who made these beautiful works of art, who these dance characters are, and the nature of the religion they represent. The Spanish conquerors strove to convert the Indian inhabitants of Mexico to Christianity. However, these converts secretly retained important deities from earlier times to accompany Christian elements, creating a poetic blend of beliefs. Given that these indigenous peoples have suffered many injustices, the masks, puppets, and dance dramas reflect many unresolved societal tensions along with veiled wishes for divine justice.
