The two boys are taken captive; and in the prison house, young Andy raises such a racket about the unsoldierly treatment he receives, that he comes before the notice of the British commander.

Review The Plain Princess / Anchorage Pr:

Play script dramatized by Aurand Harris. A present-day fairy tale, adapted from Phyllis McGinley's popular book. Two sets. Royal and folk costumes. Cast of 7 women, 4 men, courtiers. (Suitable for all-girl cast. ) The King and Queen plan a birthday party for their daughter Esmeralda, showering her with gifts and toys, ordering a feast with entertainment, and inviting a neighboring Prince to play with her. But the Princess is in a sulky mood, and throwing one of her royal tantrums, she goads the usually well-mannered Prince into declaring what no one has ever dared to admit that she is a plain Princess. Faced at last with the truth, the Princess falls into a genuine decline, and her parents offer a great reward to anyone who can make her beautiful. All the wise men try, without success. [+]
Finally, the royal dustwoman, Dame Goodwit, offers to make the Princess beautiful in three months if the Princess will come and live in her cottage with her three daughters. The changes that take place are only natural ones; but when the Princess learns to do a truly unselfish thing, her mouth turns up, her nose turns down, and her eyes sparkle like the candles on a birthday cake.

Review Theatre and Change in South Africa (Routledge Harwood Contemporary Theatre Studies) / Routledge:

Can South African theatre continue to maintain its autonomy and exercise its critical role? Can one rethink form and find new content? Can a concept of post-protest theatre be developed? How might theatre contribute to a post-apartheid society? These are just some of the questions addressed in this book. The real and present difficulties South African theatre is facing, as well as possible future orientations, are clearly shown, at one of the most complex moments of political transition in the history of South African society. Geoffrey Davis and Anne Fuchs include contributions from playwrights, actors, visual artists, poets, directors, theatre administrators, theatre critics and theatre academics. Their comments and thoughts portray the active process of reflection and reappraisal, redefining their artistic and political aims, searching for new and vital theatrical forms.

Review Peter Lang Publishing  / Flaubert Et Le Theatre (Romantisme Et Apres En France,) Publication date: 1998-01
Price: $32.95

Review Flaubert Et Le Theatre (Romantisme Et Apres En France,) / Peter Lang Publishing:

Ce livre traite un aspect de la vie et de l'oeuvre de Flaubert qui est aussi important que meconnu: ses rapports avec le theatre. Fascine par le theatre dans sa jeunesse, plus tard il a compose, seul ou en collaboration, trois pieces de theatre, une feerie, 'Le Chateau des coeurs'; une satire politique, 'Le Candidat'; une comedie de boulevard, 'Le Sexe faible': en outre, il a ebauche de nombreuses autres pieces inachevees, et il a ete intimement mele a la creation des drames de son grand ami Louis Bouilhet. L'art dramatique a donc occupe une place considerable dans la vie et la pensee de Flaubert, et c'est pourquoi il a semble interessant d'analyser ce que ses grands romans peuvent devoir a cette longue pratique du theatre. Les resultats de l'enquete sont revelateurs et parfois surprenants.
