A Few Considerations of a Vast Topic La conscience de soi est une nouvelle modalité du savoir, c est un savoir de soi, un retour de la conscience depuis l être-autre. -- French Wikipedia on Hegel During the nineteenth century, the figure of Hamlet underwent a shift from being the central character in one of Shakespeare s most ambitious and exciting plays to being, far more than any of Shakespeare s explicitly poet characters, an emblem of the poet lisant, as Mallarmé put it, dans le Livre de lui-même tour italy (reading in the Book of himself). What Hamlet represented to Mallarmé was man confronting his inner life. He burns with what Wordsworth called that inward tour italy eye / Which is the bliss of solitude. tour italy I think the central issue of Romanticism is the issue Rousseau calls conscience de soi : self consciousness. The poetry tour italy reaches far back into Christian modes of confession, as in Saint Augustine, and attempts to find ways in which consciousness, inwardness can be brought to light. This poetry includes tour italy both the intense desire for self-consciousness (as in Wordsworth) and the fear of it (as in Keats Lamia ). What does selfhood taste like? How can one describe soul ? There is also of course the demonic aspect of selfhood its manifestation as a powerful underground, as in Baudelaire or even Jack Kerouac ( the subterraneans ). One thinks of Coleridge s Ancient Mariner, whose terrifying self-awareness tour italy brings him to the anguished point of admitting his primal crime: With my crossbow / I shot the albatross. I agree with Paul de Man (a mentor of mine at Cornell) that What sets out as a claim to overcome Romanticism often turns out to be merely an expansion of our understanding of the movement and that Modernism despite its frequent explicit rejection of Romanticism is in fact a thorough-going example of it. In general Romanticism marks the shift from thinking of poetry as a craft (and of the poet as maker ) to thinking of it as a provoker of consciousness, even a creator of consciousness. From a historical point of view, the notion that poetry is the expression of the hidden tour italy self, of a deeper consciousness, was initially liberating: the sense that we each had an inner life that was different from our outer life, our life with people, and of poetry as expressing that inner life. Wordsworth could make the growth of a poet s mind his primary subject; Thomas de Quincey could make dreams his. Yet the notion of exactly what constitutes an inner life becomes extremely complicated during the 20th century. Various people (Freud among others) discover that some parts of the mind are completely unaware of what other parts of the mind are doing. The inner life of the 20th century is divided, complex, multiple and what we think we believe, what we assert with our egos, may well be colored by feelings and drives of which we are unaware. How can artists assert a fullness of mind? How can we allow those unrecognized areas of the mind to speak alongside the areas we recognize? If poetry is particularly the domain of the inner life, then it is precisely not the domain of the I. The notion that poetry is the domain of the I comes from the ideology of individualism a term whose etymology insists that we are not divided. If we are individuals, then of course we are most authentic when we speak from the point of view of our individuality, from the point of view of our I. But what if the I is in fact multiple, divided, full of many contradictory elements not all of which are even recognized? What if the I is not the unity that the word I presupposes it to be? What sort of poetry is generated by such a conception tour italy of the inner life ? What was the Romantic stance about such matters? The inwardness professed by the Romantics has many sources, but one of the most important is Shakespeare s plays. The many radical contradictions that haunt a play such as Hamlet suggest a consciousness at home in incoherence. tour italy Keats Ode on a Grecian Urn is not usually read in that way, but I think it s possible to do so. Keats begins tour italy with desire, sexuality: Thou still unravished bride.... The violence implied by the word ravished tour italy is immediately quieted, however, with an abstraction about quietness: ...bride of quietness. In the second line, foster child --a phenomenon of our world--is balanced against the abstractions silence and slow time. Each stanza--an Italian sonnet minus a quatrain--has a feeling of great formality: one expects abstractions and elegance from such forms, and Keats supplies them in abundance. Nothing tour italy is terribly real in this deliberately artificial context. The assertion that the urn can express...A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme is a graceful compliment the sort of flowery compliment one might pay to a woman one wishes to interest, not something anyone takes to be quite true. Something of the same thing can be said of Keats deities or mortals : we understand that these are literary or artistic figures figures, not people though the sexuality of still unravished is now given greater emphasis: What maidens tour italy loth? / What mad pursuit?...What wild ecstasy? The second and third stanzas gave us light paradoxes which are not meant to be thought of too deeply or challenged in any way. Are unheard melodies sweeter than heard melodies ? What is an unheard melody anyway? Keats assures tour italy us with a cliché: an unheard melody is something addressed not to the sensual ear but to the spirit. Again, we are not to question too much. We are in some sort of vague version of idealism some sort of conception in which the ideal is to be preferred to the real. And the urn seems to express that idealism. Nothing is ever consummated we are still in the realm of the unravished bride but, on the other hand, desire is never quenched. Such a state, Keats argues lightly, is better than a situation in which consummation occurs. Had the scene on the urn presented forever an image of Blake s gratified desire, Keats poem would have been profoundly altered: instead of perpetual desire we would have had perpetual orgasm a state which is not so easily identified with idealism. Doesn t Keats have a body? He does, and it surfaces a few lines later. He attempts to put the best face possible tour italy on his assertion about the desirability of a state of perpetual sexual frustration by linking tour italy it to a state of eternal springtime a state of paradise, though not quite the paradise of Genesis. He remains in a Classical context: Ah, happy, happy boughs! That cannot shed / Your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu . The happy melodist reminds us of the shepherd of pastoral poetry the kind of thing both Spenser and Milton wrote. Yet the moment human passion is mentioned, the poem suddenly takes on a quality it has not had before. These lines are not fanciful, artificial or playfully paradoxical; they are utterly real: That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloyed, tour italy A burning forehead, and a parching tongue. That burning forehead and parching tongue might well be characteristics of a frustrated tour italy lover, though they also suggest tour italy human diseases with which Keats was certainly familiar. It is as if the poet s own sexual frustration, which he has been attempting to disguise as idealism, suddenly bursts forth in the form of bodily tour italy illness. But like the earlier phrase foster child, the lines touch of reality is only momentary; the poem is not yet ready to take on such questions. In relief perhaps, Keats turns to another side of the urn and attempts to regain the balance and control of the opening lines: Who are these coming to the sacrifice? To what green altar, O mysterious priest, Lead st thou that heifer lowing at the skies ? Yet, coming after assertions of intense bodily distress, the word sacrifice and the heifer s noisy lowing at the skies have overtones they would not have had under other circumstances. Doesn t disease cause the sacrifice of people? Wasn t Keats, who had been trained as a doctor, aware of such sacrifice? The feelings of desolation, of pain and sacrifice which have entered the poem almost against the poet s wishes suddenly have a new place to express themselves. The town the people leave which isn t even represented on the urn is suddenly seen not merely as empty but as desolate: And, little town, thy streets for evermore tour italy Will silent be; and not a soul to tell Why thou art desolate, can e er return. Death, says Hamlet, is the undiscovered country from whose bourn / No traveler returns. Death (and perhaps a reference to Hamlet) has suddenly entered Keats poem: not a soul to tell / Why thou art desolate, can e er return. The artificiality of the paradise Keats was trying to describe protects us against death. Yet that paradise utterly shatters against the actual presence of death in the poem a presence which both we and Keats know to the bone and which is linked to sexual frustration, tour italy itself a kind of death. To paraphrase Keats Ode to a Nightingale, the word desolate is like a bell / To toll me back from thee to my sole self to the very mortality the poet has been trying to escape by writing the poem. The fancy, he complains in the Nightingale Ode, cannot cheat so well / As she is famed to do. What began as simple description this is what is on the urn, it s only a description has suddenly turned upon him and revealed the very sources which the poem existed to evade. Keats didn t know why he was writing the poem, and the poem s language is now telling him something about his own consciousness manifesting conscience de soi . He has nowhere to go but back to a confrontation with the urn as a whole with this enigmatic thing which, like Poe s raven, has brought him news of his own death. In the last stanza the urn is called a silent form, though in the concluding lines it speaks : thou say st. Perhaps the most telling phrase of the stanza is Cold Pastoral! At this point the urn is almost a tombstone, something which extends beyond the life of the humans who constructed it and extends as well into the m

The Shakespeare Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon hosted a King Lear in Performance conference on Friday and I was invited to take part on the grounds that I ve reviewed best travel guide greece the play once or twice and might have something best travel guide greece to contribute.
Who does? Scofield, John Wood, Michael Gambon, Robert Stephens, Ian Holm, Eric Porter and Warren Mitchell, with special mentions for David Warner, Kathryn Hunter, Alan Howard, Pete Postlethwaite, David Calder and Laurence Olivier on televison.
Funnily enough, Hicks and McKellen were both outstanding, and somewhat similar, Edgars in their time, just as Ian Holm and Kathryn Hunter have been fine Fools (Hunter this season) and Calder a notable Kent (to Stephens).
Other key points at issue were the Fool s prophecy speech, the occasional doubling of the Fool and Cordelia, the political narrative, so often muddied in the inevitable cuts, and the blinding of Gloucester.
The best blinding I never saw was in the Jonathan Miller Old Vic production (with Eric Porter) when Frances de la Tour as Regan took an obscenely keen interest in the mutilation which happened offstage, in the wings.
This was the now defunct best travel guide greece Welsh Drama Company best travel guide greece s production in 1977 in which the costumes were made of curtain material, the beards fell off at regular intervals and one of Gloucester s gouged eyes skidded across the stage like a frozen shrimp.
Joseph O Conor was a solid Lear, though, and Anthony O Donnell a chirpy Fool (quite what he was being chirpy about, God only knows). There was a lot of bowing and scraping, and Seckerson, alas, had the wobbly head and superfluous gestures of a young curate.
I think I even had a particular young curate in mind at the time, but I don t think of Edward in ecclesiastical best travel guide greece terms at all these days, although he comes over a bit too gushingly pious when talking about Barbara Cook.
His was the opposite of an award-winning performance. Cheers were raised last night, though, for Jeremy James-Taylor, founding artistic director of the National Youth Music Theatre, who collected his OBE last week from the Queen.
He shared his day at the Palace with Patrick Stewart, collecting his knighthood, and Jenson Button, the Formula One world champion, collecting his MBE (Button was late: Trouble with the car, again, Jens? )
Last night, friends and colleagues at the NYMT toasted Jeremy in the sixth floor roof garden of the Trafalgar Hotel, an amazing party location with sensational views over Trafalgar Square and away to the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament. It was a perfect summer best travel guide greece evening.
The guests included Tiffany Graves, who censured me for reviewing her bottom in Sweet Charity, and Dominic Tighe, who said I was welcome to review his when he opens in Aspects of Love at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
best travel guide greece The whole do had been organised best travel guide greece by director Russell Labey, who fell in with the NYMT while working as a television news broadcaster on Jersey when the fledgling company visited, and became one of Jeremy s key associates.
When Russell worked as a popular staff director on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium with equally popular company manager Nick Bromley, the two of them were known as what a surprise .Russell and Bromley. And not just because whenever one of them opened his mouth the other one put his foot in it.
I had to leave before Matt Lucas and Sheridan Smith turned best travel guide greece up, but the place was already heaving with alumni and guests such as producers Stuart Piper and Edward Snape, Ambassador Theatre Group casting supremo Neil Rutherford, the current NYMT chief Dominic Francis, playwright Terence best travel guide greece Frisby, and a strange young blond punk with orange body make-up.
One of my favourite NYMT shows lately was The Kissing Dance with a score by Howard Goodall. Russell had seen a preview of Goodall s latest, Love Story at the Minerva, Chichester, and implied that my trip to the south coast this afternoon might not be completely in vain. Can t wait.

DUE TO minor ill health for which he needs some time to rest, Michael arizona resort hotels Gambon has had to withdraw from Alan Bennett's new play The Habit of Art , which opens in the National s Lyttelton Theatre on November 17, 2009. The role of W H Auden will now be taken by Richard Griffiths.
Speaking about the production, Nicholas Hytner said: We're all extremely sorry that Michael arizona resort hotels Gambon has had to withdraw from The Habit of Art but Alan Bennett and I couldn't be more grateful to our old friend Richard Griffiths for agreeing arizona resort hotels to take on this considerable challenge at such short notice.
The Habit of Art is about the business of putting a play together as much as it is about making music or poetry. Richard Griffiths will play the actor, Fitz, who plays the poet W H Auden in a play set in a rehearsal room as a group of actors work through a play about Auden and Benjamin Britten. We're looking forward to taking creative advantage of this unexpected twist in our own rehearsal process.
It was Griffiths who created the role of Hector in Alan Bennett's The History Boys at the National Theatre, on international tour, on Broadway and on film, winning the Evening Standard, Critics' Circle, Laurence Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Actor.
His other recent theatre work includes Equus , both in the West End and on Broadway. While on screen he has appeared arizona resort hotels in the Harry Potter arizona resort hotels films, Withnail and I, Pie in the Sky, Gormenghast and Bleak House .
Previously Posted : Michael Gambon, Alex Jennings and Frances de la Tour will lead the cast of Alan Bennett s new play, The Habit of Art , which opens in the National s Lyttelton Theatre on November 17, 2009 (previews from November 5) before continuing in repertoire.
Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera, arizona resort hotels Death in Venice , seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W H Auden. During this imagined meeting, their first for twenty-five years, they are observed and interrupted by, amongst others, their future biographer and a young man from the local bus station.
Bennett's new play, which is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music, looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography. It also reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion is spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.
Gambon was an original member of the National arizona resort hotels Theatre company arizona resort hotels under Laurence arizona resort hotels Olivier's direction in 1963. He last appeared at the National Theatre in 2005 when he portrayed Falstaff in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 . His other London theatre credits include Matthew Warchus' 2004 revival of Beckett's Endgame and Atom Egoyan s 2006 stage adaptation of Samuel Beckett s Eh Joe , both at the Duke of York s Theatre.
He will, of course, always be remembered as TV's The Singing Detective . More recently, he has appeared on the big screen arizona resort hotels as the headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore, in the Harry Potter films.
Jennings's theatre credits include The Alchemist, Stuff Happens, arizona resort hotels His Girl Friday, The Relapse and The Winter's Tale (all at the National Theatre where he is an NT Associate); My Fair Lady (Theatre Royal Drury Lane), for which he won an Olivier for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Professor Higgins; Hamlet and Peer Gynt ( RSC ); and Too Clever By Half (West End).
Although de la Tour will always be remembered for her role as Miss Jones in the classic BBC comedy Rising Damp , her theatre credits are numerous and include The History Boys (National Theatre, Broadway and on screen), The Cherry Orchard, Three Tall Women, Duet for One and Boeing-Boeing .
Since he became Director of the National Theatre in April 2003, Hytner has directed Henry V, His Dark Materials, arizona resort hotels The History Boys, Stuff Happens, Henry IV, Southwark Fair, The Alchemist, The Man of Mode, The Rose Tattoo (with Stephen Pimlott), Rafta, Rafta… , Much Ado About Nothing, Major Barbara, England People arizona resort hotels Very Nice and Phèdre .
The Habit of Art is Alan Bennett's fifth play for the National Theatre. His last play, The History Boys , opened at the Lyttelton Theatre in 2004, toured nationally and internationally, and played for two seasons in the West End and on Broadway. Among its many awards were the Laurence Olivier, Tony and Critics Circle Awards for Best Play, and the South Bank Show Award for Theatre.
The Habit of Art , which will be broadcast to cinema screens in the UK and internationally on April 22, 2010 as part of NT Live , will be designed by Bob Crowley, with lighting by Mark Henderson, music by Matthew arizona resort hotels Scott and sound by Paul Groothuis.

I can only offer my most profuse apologies for the shocking time lapse since my last post. As my distinguished readers may or may not know, I have recently moved to the metropolis, with all the stress, travel chaos and culture shock that entails. It is fitting, though, that my first post since the move (nb: new name needed. Thus far, I only have Art in a slightly warmer climate. Suggestions on a postcard), should be about the work of a migrant who made the same journey south around downtown los angeles mail forwarding services 50 years ago. The director is away. At a conference on theatre in the provinces. In Leeds. [Cue laughter.] I laughed, of course: who could resist Frances de la Tour s acerbic wit and right-on-the-nail comic timing? The play is Alan Bennett s latest: The Habit of Art and, as he is a playwright who knows better than any the value of art in the provinces, he had his tongue firmly in his cheek when he penned this line. But Kay, Frances de la Tour s mother-hen of a stage manager hasn t. And nor has this London downtown los angeles mail forwarding services audience. A conference about theatre downtown los angeles mail forwarding services in the provinces sounds like something Sir Humphrey Appleby would suggest, to ensure nothing was actually done. The whole idea of provincial theatre, so laughable that a conference on it is the apotheosis of the ridiculous. It s easy to be sucked into this mentality: with such a profusion of theatres, art galleries, orchestras downtown los angeles mail forwarding services and concert halls, it s easy to forget that there is artistic life elsewhere. But there is: oh, there is. In my own dear Sheffield, the Crucible is just warming up for what promises to be a knock-out first season since its renovations: Anthony Sher stars in An Enemy of the People and John Simm tries his hand at Hamlet . In Halifax, a new translation of Euripides Medea by Tom Paulin will be first staled by the stage and Rosamund Pike will be wielding pistols with abandon as Ibsen s terrifying and magnificent downtown los angeles mail forwarding services heroine Hedda Gabler in Bath. And that s only the theatre: in music Simon Rattle will be returning to Birmingham, and in visual downtown los angeles mail forwarding services art the Liverpool biennale will be making downtown los angeles mail forwarding services a paint splash well, you get the picture. It s just that in London, everything is more condensed and, more revealingly, London is the home of the media: the critics and reviewers who the theatres depend upon for publicity and promotion. But to return downtown los angeles mail forwarding services to Bennett. I can t help feeling that this line about the provinces is a cheap shot. It pleases the London audience, of course, but given that one of the messages of the play is that someone s always left out , the line seems short-sighted. The rent-boy downtown los angeles mail forwarding services is the one left out in the play, but more generally Bennett is referring to the uneducated (to be honest, it may as well be the un-oxbridged, as far as this Oxford-based, steeped-to-the-gills-in-academia play is concerned), the uninitiated and those from the provinces. downtown los angeles mail forwarding services Anyone, in short, for whom this book-filled, quotation-heavy world is unfamiliar and intimidating. The end of the play, therefore, disappoints: Frances downtown los angeles mail forwarding services de la Tour delivers a eulogy downtown los angeles mail forwarding services to the National Theatre, the building, its founder, its beginning. The speech not only wipes out at one fell swoop, any chance of a nationwide tour but also shrinks the circle of relevance of the play. It alienates all those even slightly outside it, and, unfortunately, one feels, not entirely consciously and certainly not in the Brechtian sense.

Whilst my dear old Granddad introduced me to the joys of Saturday night B W horror double bills as a child it was my Nan (she of Cannibal Ferox and not murdering wee boys fame) who opened (some would say poisoned) my young mind to the joys of Dick Emery, Norman Wisdom, Lord Bruce of Forsyth and the fantastic Danny La Rue.
Pretty of mouth and slender of hip Thespian Fred Wimbush (the worlds greatest female impersonator and my real Dad La Rue) is busy preparing what will undoubtedly be the greatest ever performance of Hamlet for the British publics viewing pleasure but, as is always the case in these situations, those pesky Germans decide to start the Second World War forcing our hero to do the right thing and join the army as a manly (albeit grease covered) mechanic type.
Although Fred enjoys his oil covered antics, banging his tool and cracking his nuts all day, he misses the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd so decides to join one of the army's stage troupes.
auto rental companies Everything auto rental companies is going swimmingly until one night, halfway thru' Fred's rousing melody of Cher hits a squad of Jew hating, minority exterminating (yet incredibly well dressed) Nazis burst in and take every single one of the soldiers prisoner.
Seizing his chance, Fred totters out of the theatre in an attempt to evade capture (and possibly a severe arse shagging) by the nasty Nazi's and get back to dear old Blighty before his true gender is discovered and he's shot as a spy.
Dodging horny, garlic eating Frenchmen and randy, sausage guzzling German soldiers along the way, Fred finally joins forces with two upper crust English schoolteachers, auto rental companies Miss Flodden (Harry auto rental companies Worth sidekick auto rental companies Bowers) and Miss Lockhart (Rising Damps Ms. Jones, the horse faced yet vaguely erotic de la Tour) plus their group of sex starved schoolgirls (none of whom are under 25) stuck in Paris after a trip to the Louvre.
This causes even more problems for poor Fred, you see even tho' he's camp as pants with scary blue rinsed man-gran auto rental companies hair he is, in fact the most heterosexual man on the planet and can barely control his almost John Leslie-like urges and stop himself from jumping on the schoolies, ripping off their flimsy white cotton shirts before cupping their smooth, budding breasts and knobbing them senseless.
Suddenly veering from trannie-based action movie to tragically camp holiday sightseeing film with endless auto rental companies scenes of Fred and co. travelling thru war torn France on a lorry singing the classic schoolyard auto rental companies (well, it was if you attended Hogwarts like me) ditty Hitler Has Only Got One Ball , the pace suddenly picks up with the introduction of Fred's nemesis, the evil, Gerbil cheeked General Brincker (Brit Teevee stalwart Marks) who (not too surprisingly) auto rental companies falls for Fred's ample charms (and curvy buttocks) and invites our hero to join him for a romantic dinner in a scene so great that it was copied (sorry, homaged) in the criminally underrated 2001 Stefan Ruzowitzky movie All The Queen's auto rental companies Men.
Discovering that the have a transvestite and a group of young girls trapped behind enemy lines (and needing a way to steer the movie to a climax that doesn't involve auto rental companies Fred being forced to fellate a Luger whilst a trouser-less and scarily aroused General Brincker orders his troops to violently auto rental companies deflower the defenceless schoolgirls), auto rental companies the British Army have no choice but to send their best man in to rescue them.
Enter (roughly from behind obviously) the Rat-faced upper crust air force officer Colonel Smallpiece (Percival) who, knowing Fred's true identity auto rental companies (if not his sexuality) rushes over to France to save his friend and hopefully score some underage tail for himself in the process.
Written specifically as a vehicle to launch top Teevee 'comic in a frock' Danny La Rue onto the big screen (his only other movie role was in the Freddie and The Dreamers fiasco Every Day's A Holiday), Our Miss Fred is a gentle enough comedy that's as harmless as it is inconsequential.
At the time criticised due to the problem of tailoring an entire script around a man whose talent was the very theatre friendly art of female impersonation, La Rue does a good enough job of holding his own whilst auto rental companies the dependable Teevee friendly cast fire a volley of sub Talbot Rothwell Carry On gags at all and sundry.

The chicken, rice and vegetables comes in a bamboo shoot. Another novelty and reminders of some of t

Panny and I were on an all day tour of the Earthen Buildings in the Fujian Province of China. After going inside the highly impressive "King of Tulou" (Chengqi Building), we decided to walk up the hill behind it to get a view of the town.
We didn't realise the actual town was so big at first. To be honest the name of the town is confusing. My book listed it as ONLY a village called Gaotou Village in the Jiaotang County, another leaflet claimed it was in Yongding County. What is certain is that the main Tulou/Earthen Building is called luxury hotel and bahamas the Chengqi Building, nicknamed "King of Tulou" and that building sits in a "hamlet" known as Gaobei Hamlet. However in these photos, I do not know whether that hamlet is the entire "town" you can see, as surely a hamlet should be a very small place.
luxury hotel and bahamas On the way up I had grabbed a Coca Cola. The ultimate non-Chinese drink. Capitalism v. Communism. I also had my water and was having a beer next. It was hot and I picked up a bit of sunburn. The walk to the top wasn't long or challenging luxury hotel and bahamas but enjoyable.
Panny and I overlooking the Chengqi Building (definitely), the Gaobei Hamlet (all of it), the Gaotou Village luxury hotel and bahamas (possibly some of it). Whether we are in Jiao Tang County or Yong Ding County is anyone's guess.
Those who know China will know that China doesn't do clear skies. Smog and smoke normally fill the air, if it's not cloudy. Here then was a surprise to have a decent view and some fresh air, dare I say it.
There was a ledge and wall at the very top of the hill to view down to the village. The flag got another airing there as we baked in the early afternoon sunshine. Fujian Province is certainly scenic.
Panny Yu against Gaobei Hamlet. We were there in March 2012. It was the first time in Fujian Province for Panny and I. In fact it was my first time in China away from an airport in 5 years. I don't count Taiwan and Hong Kong as China, luxury hotel and bahamas despite the fact that some people do.
I zoomed in a bit. The charm of square and rectangular buildings to live in is modern China in an architectural nutshell. No adverts, no need for fancy colours or sloped rooves. However in behind all of this there is another old style Earthen Building. We didn't go into that one.
Sometimes pictures are louder than words, and especially with the amount of travelling I've done in the last 3 years, it's hard to keep up, so there's a few photos which need no write up! Am I getting lazy? No, I'm just trying to get more reports done!
Luckily for me, the walk up was under the shade of the trees. I'm not exactly a fan of the hot sun. Panny Yu however has Asian skin and doesn't seem to suffer too much under this style of weather. I bought a Coke and drank my water on my way up, and then we came to a restaurant which had local food and beer.
The wee restaurant had no customers and was near the top. While Panny checked out the food menu, I had a look at the beers and found this unusual "coffee stout" written in English. I had never seen it before.
And there was this large bottle of Sedrin Beer. So I was certain I wanted to eat here and Panny was too. But oddly, the lady asked us for a 20 Yuan deposit! It wasn't busy! Why did they want a deposit, I was convinced it was part of a scam and let Panny get on with it. We told them we would hike to the top and be back down in 20 - 25 minutes.
Another couple of photos. There are a lot of photos from this China trip. The reason being, Panny and I travelled a lot before we met each other and always took photos and carried cameras. Now that we are together travelling, it makes no sense to limit ourselves to one camera. We both agree on that of course. luxury hotel and bahamas I mean a camera could break, get lost, get stolen, run out of battery, run out of memory space. To travel with two is much better, even if it means much more photos to sift through at the end of it all...
This photo is an odd one out. Rather than look down at the main attraction in the Gaobei Hamlet, I gazed down at this touristy part which has been very recently built, and actually is not even finished yet. The two snake like buildings are entry gates, when they start charging for entry into the Hamlet itself. The reason for this could be that many people turn up and don't pay a penny. You only have to pay to get INSIDE the Chengqi Building. luxury hotel and bahamas The walk to the top was free, and to walk around the Chengqi Building was also free. Maybe the Chinese just to that to say they've been there. The semi circular building in the picture above is funny in that its shape and style is undoubtedly modelled on the Fujian Earthen Buildings style! Yet it is completely modern, even having luxury hotel and bahamas glass windows in it!
You could kind of tell the path had been renovated recently. These trees and the stones certainly looked new. It's not a popular tourist attraction at all, especially for people who are not Chinese. But someday you know, this will be. For there is nowhere luxury hotel and bahamas else on the planet with dwelling buildings quite like the Fujian Earthen Buildings.
The men's toilet was open air allowing anyone to see you piss. Mind you at least there was a toilet, and a modern clean one. Places in China, Africa and South America I have been don't even have toilets.
This guy was drilling and banging as we took our sets at the restaurant we booked for lunch. It was at this point that I remembered that restaurants in China and Taiwan are not really restaurants. They are just places to sit and eat. Here next to loud drills and walking dogs and chickens would hardly meet restaurant standards. luxury hotel and bahamas But I'm not one to moan about these things!! Though Panny and I did ask the guy to turn the drill off while we were eating!
The drill guy took a 20 minute break while we ate. While this was all happening, our driver Sau Jan (who was a wanker incidentally) waits around for you. Panny and I were angry with him so for that reason we spent longer here and didn't rush things. We both ordered chicken, vegetables and rice meals. Plus I had to order the Hi Cool Coffee Stout to curb my curiosity!
The chicken, rice and vegetables comes in a bamboo shoot. Another novelty and reminders of some of the unusual food traits of Taiwan came rushing luxury hotel and bahamas back here. Unfortunately there were lots of bones in the chicken and some mushrooms. I hate mushrooms and I'm not a fan of biting through food to find the bones and spit them out. These bones were small and it was a tough task.
We also ordered an egg, onion, pepper and chive side dish to share. I actually preferred this more, that part of the meal wasn't very Chinese of course. And the beer lived up to expectations, tasting like a mix of coffee and stout beer. Not quite the standard of a Guinness but here in the magic of Fujian province, this was a sufficient thirst quencher and a drink to help digest the Chinese meal.
It was filling enough though none of us could actually finish it. Not just the heat but the appetite after walking round all day. We headed back down towards the other side of Gaobei Hamlet, where the Tourist Information Office is.
The section by the gates is very new, and still not fully operational, at least when we were there in March 2012. There is a posh shop there, some toilets, tourist information and retails outlets where shops and restaurants will open.
The new building. The tourist information centre is here. The top two floors don't seem to be in use now. This place was so new. This is on the other side of the hike from where the Chengqi Building is.
More buildings in this area are under construction, possibly hotels, restaurants and outlet stores of the future. Part of me likes this idea as it brings in jobs and money to people of the area whose lives are relatively basic and poor. Another part of me thinks it ruins the entire appearance of the area. With all these amazing old style buildings around, they should surely be left the way they are. This is a unique part of the world. If I had the choice, luxury hotel and bahamas I would build these modern buildings and hotels miles away from the tourist luxury hotel and bahamas attraction itself, so as not to take away the appeal and appearance of this wonderful little World Heritage Site. The day this area gets a Starbucks, Hilton luxury hotel and bahamas or McDonalds is the day it ceases to be interesting. Communism remains a good thing in my eyes in this part of China.
The Gaotou luxury hotel and bahamas Village which this area most probably is, is under development. luxury hotel and bahamas At least this is a main road and away from the actual main Fujian Earthen Buildings on the other side of the gate. It would be interesting to see what this place looks like in ten years time. Almost certainly advertising and hotels luxury hotel and bahamas will grace these once old, communist streets. Have a look at the above photo. It's wonderful isn't it? Even a lonely dog enjoys luxury hotel and bahamas the basic lifestyle here.
Panny in the middle of the streets in Gaotou Village. There was a strange moment walking up to this whereby the guy on the gate was very rude to us both claiming we couldn't go through because we didn't have a ticket. This guy became the second luxury hotel and bahamas wanker of the day, as we both had tickets and showed them to him. He then looked at the hole punched luxury hotel and bahamas in our tickets and claimed they had already been used! I did a silly dance walking past the wanker as Panny and I headed back towards the Chengqi Building where Sau Jan, the first wanker waited for us. In fact having had hassle from these two people and having seen this area in all its beauty, I have absolutely NO desire whatsoever to ever go there again. Yes I enjoyed it immensely and it is worth seeing, but Panny and I have seen it. No need to go there again...
A final exterior photo of the Chengqi Building in Gaobei Hamlet. The funny thing was after our tour and we had lunch and came back to where we started, the place was quiet! The tourists had gone, It was now late afternoon and we had expected about 2 more hours of touring. But our driver was a wanker and definitely skipped a few things out on the tour. We paid him the basic amount. No chance of getting a tip of even a smile from either of us! Panny and I had

Theatre, or at least some theatre, is turning out to be not quite as ephemeral as it once was. Previously on this blog we've discussed last minute hotel deals san diego the video archives operated by the Theatre Museum, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. The RSC has always understood the importance of its legacy and it turns out that over the past fifty years many, although far from all, of its productions were audio recorded. Two selections from these precious tapes have now been released on CD through a RSC partnership with the British Library, where the full recordings may be accessed. The second of these, The Essential Shakespeare Live Encore last minute hotel deals san diego , was published just a month or so ago (it too has featured in the comments here) -- and would unquestionably make a perfect Christmas present.
Like its 2005 predecessor, The Essential Shakespeare Live , the new set is a double CD-plus-booklet with some twenty last minute hotel deals san diego substantial extracts. The selection for both sets was made by Greg Doran, Chief Associate Director of the RSC and, of course, the director of Hamlet last minute hotel deals san diego . And there are several Hamlet -related offerings, including David Tennant's Dane dallying with Polonius (Oliver Ford Davies), Rosencrantz last minute hotel deals san diego (Sam Alexander) and Guildenstern (Tom Davey) recorded at the Courtyard in August last year. Patrick last minute hotel deals san diego Stewart is here as well, committed to tape back in November 1973 when he was a silkily smooth Cassius planting the seeds of doubt about Caesar in the mind of John Wood's Brutus.
One of Greg's principles was to have a single element of each play and so to represent all of them across the two sets. But the inclusion from his own Hamlet on set two breaks his self-imposed constraint since the set one has a calculated and rather last minute hotel deals san diego thrilling To be or not to be from David Warner on 9 March 1966. Each such choice has its text printed in the booklet and for most there are evocative photographs as well.
Just after the whispered start of the Prince's great soliloquy, a motorbike roars around the back of the stalls. At least that's what it sounds like, even if the offending machine was presumably in the street outside. Although last minute hotel deals san diego the BL audio engineers have tidied up the sound, these are still most definitely live recordings with the audience's laughter and their coughs and snuffles. Which of course underlines their authenticity and their interest, and at the best of times can give you the sense (if you close your eyes) that you've been transported back to Stratford or the Aldwych last minute hotel deals san diego in nights gone by.
Initially the tapes seem simply to have been made by the stage manager pressing a button on a machine sited somewhere in the stalls. Nowadays the recording techniques are a little more sophisticated, but even the most recent ones still have a raw quality and a sense that they catch just lightly last minute hotel deals san diego something fleeting -- and also something shared just that night between actors and audience.
While they unquestionably work well in this kind of greatest hits packages, given their noise density I imagine that the recordings are a challenge to listen to at length. But even so, in addition to the simple pleasure they offer, there's plenty to learn about the changing fashions in speaking Shakespeare. Paul Robeson was hardly your typical actor but fifty years back it's as if he's almost singing his lines as Othello. And for all the vaunted youthful intensity of Warner's Hamlet, there's a good dose of traditional ac-tor-li-ness in the way he muses on his continued existence.
One of the other attractive (and unique) aspects of these recordings is the way in which the audience reactions suggest the various bits of business -- the muggings, the pulled faces and longing looks -- that accompany the speeches, even though these are now forever. As for the rest -- enjoy! Here are five other fragments from the two sets that I would happily take with me to a desert island.
Alan Howard, Ben Kingsley, Frances de la Tour and John Kane as, respectively, Oberon, Demetrius, Helena and Puck, in Peter Brook's great, great A Midsummer Night's Dream, recorded in February 1972. (This I did see, which nearly forty years on I remain thrilled about.)
I've got the second one - I only bought it when I went to see 12th night and so I've only listened to the Hamlet one. (yesterday!) It was a little odd listening to it because I can remember last minute hotel deals san diego very clearly what was happening on stage and I can laugh along with the audience. I listened to it with someone who hadn't last minute hotel deals san diego seen it and they were completely confused! They didn't think it was funny at all.

ALEX JENNINGS as Henry (Benjamin Britten) and RICHARD GRIFFITHS as Fitz (WH Auden) in The Habit of A

ALEX JENNINGS as Henry (Benjamin Britten) and RICHARD GRIFFITHS as Fitz (WH Auden) in The Habit of Art. Photograph by Johan Persson Reviewed by James Karas jameskaras@rogers.com The Habit of Art is theatre at its best. This is Alan Bennett s new play now showing at the National Theatre s Lyttleton stage in London. What justifies such praise? Is it just temporary enthusiasm after an enjoyable evening out or is there enough substance to the play and the production to justify the panegyric? The answer is yes to all. The play is about two famous Englishmen of the twentieth century, the poet W. H. Auden and the composer Benjamin Britten. The very idea of producing a play about two such people would induce snores. In the hands of Bennett, you are guaranteed some very witty dialogue at least. You get that and more. Rather than giving us the more gory parts of their lives (they were both homosexuals with a penchant for young boys), Bennett looks at them as colourful human beings without avoiding the dirt under their fingernails. Bennett becomes a character in his own play (played by Elliot Levey). The Author is watching a rehearsal of his play at the National Theatre. The director is missing and Kay, the Stage Manager (Frances de la Tour) is putting the actors through the script. Richard Griffiths plays the actor Fitz who plays the part of Auden. Alex Jennings plays the actor Henry who plays the part of Britten. Adrian Scarborough plays the actor Donald who plays Humphrey celine dion las vegas show tickets Carpenter a former BBC interviewer and the biographer of both Britten and Auden. In other words we have layer upon layer of reality and unreality. The characters in the Author s play that is being rehearsed become the actors in The Habit of Art. Richard Griffiths as Fitz and the bizarre Auden gives a defining performance and it would be difficult to imagine anyone else trying the roles. Auden is a boozy, filthy slob (he urinates in the sink) who brings young boys to his residence for oral sex. He is also a brilliant poet and raconteur. Alex Jennings is the composer who consults Auden about the libretto for his opera Death in Venice. We are treated to a brilliant celine dion las vegas show tickets discussion of the Thomas celine dion las vegas show tickets Mann s novel and the function of a libretto. Stephen Wight does a splendid job as the young male prostitute as does Scarborough in the role of Carpenter. Frances celine dion las vegas show tickets de la Tour has a voice and an accent that I find simply delicious. It is like a superlative celine dion las vegas show tickets cabernet sauvignon wine, properly aged and aerated, which diffuses its taste and aroma upon being swirled around your mouth. celine dion las vegas show tickets The Habit of Art combines those rare qualities of wit, literate fun, low humour and a theatricality that I unbeatable. Murder, lust, greed, treachery, rape, poisoning - these were the staples of Jacobean tragedy. They were also the staples of many of Shakespeare s plays but he did it much better. Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) was a prolific writer but only a few of his plays are produced with any regularity. His 1621 tragedy celine dion las vegas show tickets Women Beware Women has received a major revival at the National Theatre. The clerk Leantio (Samuel Barnett) marries the beautiful and wealthy Bianca (Lauren O Neill). She gives up wealth and status for love. That s one plot strand. Next: Isabella (Vanessa Kirby) is forced by her father Fabritio (James Hayes) to marry the moronic Ward (Harry Melling), who makes up in acreage what he lacks in brains. These marriages go astray pretty quickly. The Duke of Florence (Richard Lintern) sees Bianca and falls in lust with her. Livia (Harriet Walter) arranges for the two to be alone and the Duke seduces Bianca. Rape is such an ugly word. Livia also arranges for Isabella to have an affair with Hippolito, her brother and Isabella s uncle. As if that were not enough, Livia ensnares the cuckolded Leantio into her gentle arms and the stage is set for bloodshed. Director Marianne celine dion las vegas show tickets Elliott and Designer Lez Brotherston have opted for a modern dress production on a monumental set that is all black. The revolving stage can indicate celine dion las vegas show tickets the ducal palace celine dion las vegas show tickets or less palatial scenes and it is very effective. The plot unravels methodically with superb ensemble acting. Full marks go to Walter as the conniving and evil Livia who can be so charming when she wants to. The other two women are just as much victims of circumstances as aiders and abetters in the evils that befall them. In a patriarchal society the real pigs are the men and you can choose between Hippolito, the incestuous uncle, the lustful and brutal duke or some of the other creeps celine dion las vegas show tickets of the play. Really Old, Like Forty Five by Tamsin Oglesby playing in the small Cottesloe Thetare has a misleading title. It sounds like a light comedy with jokes about getting old, wetting your pants, farting etc. It is not. The play is about dementia and although there are many witty lines, it is a deadly serious play. Perhaps it is two plays but it s a muddle in any event. It takes place sometime in the future and we have the story of three siblings who are starting it to lose it. Alice (Marcia Warren), Lyn (Judy Parfitt) and their brother Robbie (Gawn Granger) display all the horrible signs of dementia. We meet some members of their family and the final scenes are in a nursing home with all the concomitant horrors. The scenes with the siblings are interchanged with scenes showing Monroe (Paul Ritter), a government policy official with an accountant (Paul Bazely) and a researcher (Tanya celine dion las vegas show tickets Franks) address various aspects of aging and dementia. This is documentary and illustrative theatre about what the future (really the present) holds for the aging population. Interesting and depressing but not very good theatre.

Toby Robertson, one way discount air ticket the theatre director, who has died aged 83, believed in the importance of the regions as a vital source of talent in the British theatre, touring the classics around the country as head of Prospect Productions for 15 years and running the remote Theatr Clwyd in north Wales with distinction between 1985 and 1992.
He also took over the Old Vic when the National Theatre left for new premises on the South Bank in 1976, hoping to restore its fortunes as London's leading classical playhouse by basing the Prospect company there.
But it was his out-of-town work with Prospect one way discount air ticket which gave heart to the struggling theatre movement at a time when touring the classics one way discount air ticket for touring's sake — that is to say, without aiming for a subsequent run in London — might have seem absurdly idealistic.
Under Robertson's leadership, not only did Prospect bring forward, in great classical roles, such players as Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi, Dorothy one way discount air ticket Tutin, Eileen Atkins, Alec McCowen and Timothy West, it also achieved a national and international reputation for its ensemble work, worldwide tours and design style (it offset its cheap, portable sets with elaborate, striking costumes).
Based for its first five years at the Arts Theatre, Cambridge, Prospect annually one way discount air ticket staged three or four classical plays, rare or familiar, drawing excellent attendances at a time when most provincial audiences were turning away from serious theatre.
Among its most celebrated productions one way discount air ticket were Shakespeare's Richard II (1968) and Marlowe's Edward II (1969), in both of which Ian McKellen made his name long before the shows reached London. Others included Turgenev's A Month In The Country (1975), one way discount air ticket Antony one way discount air ticket and Cleopatra (1977), Saint Joan (also 1977, with Eileen Atkins) and, in 1979, Hamlet – with Jacobi in the title role of a production that travelled to Denmark, Australia and on the first-ever Western theatrical tour of China.
As the first artistic director of Theatr Clwyd, Robertson one way discount air ticket turned an unpromising municipal playhouse and arts centre one way discount air ticket on a hill in a far-flung corner of north Wales into one of Britain's one way discount air ticket first equivalents of a French Maison de la Culture, persuading many of the country's leading actors (including Vanessa Redgrave, Sir Michael Hordern and Maria Aitken) to leave the capital to work for him at Mold in both old and new plays, several of which (despite his principles) went, after their tours, to the West End.
Driven by his long-held belief that the best theatre was not synonymous with London, Robertson made it his policy to give an otherwise theatrically one way discount air ticket impoverished region a wide choice of drama, staged in three separate performing spaces. He never ceased to echo McKellen's declaration that the national theatre of Great Britain was not by the Thames but spread throughout the country.
Sholto David Maurice Robertson was born in Chelsea on November 29 1928 and educated at Stowe and Trinity College, Cambridge. After an undistinguished spell as an actor (though he was later to return to the stage from time to time during his tenure at Theatr Clwyd), he directed his first professional production, O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh, in 1958 at the New Shakespeare, one way discount air ticket Liverpool, for Sam Wanamaker's adventurous management of the former music hall.
His first London production — which achieved high praise — was of Kenneth Jupp's play The Buskers (Arts, 1959). At the same theatre in 1960, when Peter Hall's Royal Shakespeare Company began experimental London seasons of new and rare old plays, he directed, again successfully, Gorky's The Lower Depths.
During a spell at Scotland's Pitlochry Theatre Festival one way discount air ticket in 1962 he directed the even rarer Henry IV by Pirandello before joining Prospect Theatre Company. Set up in Oxford to play summer seasons, it toured so successfully that Robertson's revival of Vanbrugh's rarely-seen one way discount air ticket Restoration comedy The Provok'd Wife, with Eileen Atkins as Lady Brute, transferred from the exquisite little Richmond Theatre, Yorkshire, to the Vaudeville in the West End. The next season, 1964, brought his appointment as Prospect's artistic director.
Among more than 40 productions for Prospect were Restoration plays including The Soldier's Fortune, The Confederacy, The Man Of Mode, and Venice Preserv'd (1968); Macbeth and The Tempest (1966); Twelfth Night (1968); Much Ado About Nothing (1970); King Lear, with Timothy one way discount air ticket West in the title role, and Love's Labour's Lost (1971); Richard III, with Richard Briers in the title role (1972); Pericles, with Derek Jacobi in the title role, and Twelfth Night (both 1973).
Theatr one way discount air ticket Clwyd productions which transferred to the West End included, in 1986, Medea, with Eileen Atkins one way discount air ticket in the title role; and The Taming Of The Shrew and Antony and Cleopatra, both starring Vanessa Redgrave. These were followed by Barnaby and the Old Boys (1987) and You Never Can Tell (1988).
He directed Measure For Measure in Beijing, Coriolanus in Spain, and worked on television for the BBC, STV, Thames and London Weekend Television. In 1961 he was assistant director (to Peter Brook) on the film of Lord Of The Flies.
I m getting quite fed up at the mounting triumphalism over the ever-increasing British medal count in the Paralympics (Paralympics 2012, 6 September). For many events involving running blades and wheelchairs, victory goes not necessarily to the most gifted or dedicated athletes but to the competitors with access to, and funds for, the most advanced materials science and technical support. This also holds for events such as cycling in the mainstream Olympics. If these hi-tech Olympic and Paralympic events are to retain credibility in the future, surely it is time to standardise the equipment for all competitors one way discount air ticket and then we will truly be able to find, and celebrate, the best athlete.
• Increasingly frustrated by the lack of live action on Channel 4 s coverage of the Paralympics, I timed one hour of one evening s coverage. Result: one way discount air ticket 13 minutes of adverts, 23 minutes of talk, 24 minutes of action. Another example of private enterprise maximising profits and reducing costs – this time at the expense of those heroic athletes?
• It was not just George one way discount air ticket Osborne who suffered hostility at the Paralympics. His cabinet colleague Theresa May looked distinctly uncomfortable when she awarded the medals in the 1500 T13 event for men. After suffering jeers on Tuesday evening when her name was announced, she was then forced to watch the flag of the winner from the Islamic Republic of Iran hoisted in front of her.
t s all very well for Lucy Craig to accuse the angry electorate of lazy prejudices (Letters, 6 September), but when you call your party the Greens, don t you expect that the environment would be perceived as the major policy? If the Greens have such good policies covering one way discount air ticket everything from health to housing; the economy to education and pensions , publicise them, or you ll sound like Labour, where the silence is deafening. Here s a tip: change your name – it has been done before. Meanwhile, I m going to join Deborah Duffin s party (Letters, 30 August). We ll think of a name later.
one way discount air ticket • As a Liberal one way discount air ticket supporter for over 40 years, I have never been so shocked as by Nick Clegg s decision to remove Nick Harvey, removing any Liberal Democrat influence over defence policy and Trident replacement (Trident review doubt, 6 September). I shall not be voting for a party under his leadership.
one way discount air ticket • My heart sank when I saw a long interview with Naomi Wolf discussing her latest revelation one way discount air ticket for the benefit of all women (G2, 3 September). Suzanne Moore s acute analysis (G2, 6 September) speared the pretentious nonsense and cheered me right up again.
• A colleague who is a professor of mathematics indulged his wicked sense of humour by setting a problem starting A stationery van is travelling at 30mph (Letters, 6 October), then waited to be told the question was meaningless.
• I should be most grateful if the Guardian one way discount air ticket could institute a limerick competition, the first line of which must begin: The appointment of Jeremy Hunt I m having a little trouble finding a rhyme for affront .
While welcoming the decision to release the South African one way discount air ticket miners who were charged with the murder of their colleagues (Report, 3 September), I despair that the outcry does not reach our own country, where people in England and Wales are being rounded up and charged under the same common purpose law, also called joint enterprise . Are we so different from the South African apartheid regime when we can charge 21 schoolchildren with the murder of a boy in Victoria Station two years ago? Or give life sentences to children whose friends committed a crime they did not foresee or could prevent?

That said, the pacing is really slow for the first half, and that's not the script's fault.

I still haven t made my mind up on the question, although I suspect that the tide is so strongly wit

I ve had a certain amount of comment on my previous post about the  actor vs actress  question. In particular it s been brought to my attention that male actors don t always play male roles and female actors don t always play female roles (pantomimes, mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl authentic Shakespeare productions in which all the parts are played by men or boys, or productions which use cross-gender casting, e.g. Frances de la Tour playing Hamlet). mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl Fair enough, although it s nevertheless mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl true that these cases are exceptional: generally, an actor could be defined as someone who specialises in male roles and an actress could be defined as someone who specialises in female roles if that makes sense then there would be a good and non-sexist reason for having separate terms. I do think it s always worth asking what is the motive, the agenda behind having mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl a separate term, and when it is to imply that the male version is the norm (this is clearly the case with silly coinages like  poetess)  then I m against it; but it does seem possible at least in principle to have sex-specific mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl terms because mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl they refer to real differences, without implying the superiority of one over the other (after mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl all,  man  and  woman  are sex-specific terms, and no one is arguing that they should be replaced by a single sex-neutral term).
I m informed by my friend Bruce Dessau that Roberrt Elms was talking about this on BBC Radio London today, arguing strongly for the abolition of  actress.  Among the arguments he advanced was that no one says  paintress  for female mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl painters but I think I ve dealt with that one in my remarks above: female painters don t necessarily paint different subjects from male painters, whereas female actors usually do play different roles from male actors.  He also said that if you referred to a woman as the best actress mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl in the world this would only mean the best at acting among women; how could you make the claim that she was the best at acting out of everyone in he world without the gender-neutral term  actor?  That s a fair point.
I still haven t made my mind up on the question, although I suspect that the tide is so strongly with  actor  for both sexes that I ll end up switching to it and feeling fine about that. In the meantime, though, my review has gone off with the word  actress  in it. Bruce says that if he used  actress  in a review for the Guardian the subs would automatically correct it. It ll be interesting to see whether the subs at the Sindie do the same. Review appears on Easter mercedes benz cruise control repairs 380sl Sunday.
Yeah, but couldn t you then argue for even more specificity? I mean, black actors are almost always cast in black rôles, fat actors play fat guys, Tony Cox isn t going to get many parts that weren t written for a dwarf, then we d end up with all kinds of words. But really, shouldn t an actor just be someone who acts? Then if you wanted to specify male or female actors, you could just say: male actors, female actors.

Is a 1.5 mile oval track located hamlet frances de la tour about 15 miles northeast of the Strip in Las Vegas NV. Following the closure of Stardust International Raceway in 1970 (which was a track owned by the Stardust Hotel/Casino), new plans were developed to build a new drag strip north of Las Vegas, that was called louisville hotel the Las Vegas Speedrome. The Speedrome consisted of a road course, drag strip. and eventually hamlet frances de la tour a 3/8 mile. In 1995, a massive refurbishment of the complex upgraded all of the tracks, and included the construction louisville hotel of the superspeedway hamlet frances de la tour which opened louisville hotel in September 1996. The first race at the brand new speedway was on September 15, 1996, with a race run by the IRL. The first NASCAR Sprint Cup race was held March 1, 1998.

Thou dost slay me with thine optic windows of deepest cerulean. I'm not even sure if the latter part

Thou dost slay me with thine optic windows of deepest bangkok hotel thailand cerulean. I'm not even sure if the latter part of that even made sense, but I do enjoy me some Hamlet. Or, make that Kenneth Brannagh circa 1998. Check dat ish: Sexy, non? There were two possible ways I wanted to take this post but considering the previous one methinks I shall go this route: Why is the UK so creatively incestuous?!? Here we are watching Hamlet in class (while reading of course) and I'm sitting there wondering why the name Kenneth Brannagh sounds familiar. Yes, he is an amazing director, but he also happened to play Prof. Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Don't get me wrong, this was a pleasant surprise, until I looked him up and found that he was married to Emma Thompson, Prof. Trelawney herself, bangkok hotel thailand and starred bangkok hotel thailand in several movies with her. Then, when they divorced, he carried on a relationship w/ Helena Bonham Carter. Si, the one and only Bellatrix Lestrange. Let's not neglect to mention the presence of Wormtail (sorry, don't know his real name) in Hamlet. Then you think of Sweeney Todd, which starred Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman (my fave), and Jamie Campbell Bauer who will play Grindelwald bangkok hotel thailand in DH. He was also in New Moon with R.Pattz who played Cedric in GoF. Then we have Alice in Wonderland which starred Bonham Carter bangkok hotel thailand once again, alongside Rickman, and Frances de la Tour who played Madame Maxime in GoF. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy all of these actors, but it just gets a bit redundant, not to mention strange. Doesn't England have more actors/ actresses? Or is this some sort of elite clique much like our A-listers (*ahem* Brangelina)? Come to think of it, don't we do much of the same thing over here in the States? Perhaps I'm just not as aware of it. (Really though, Tim Burton bangkok hotel thailand and Johnny Depp need to make an amicable split and go their seperate ways). One more: Aaron Johnson: gorgeous individual (more on him later). He was in Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging with that girl who played Jas (sorry, can't be bothered to look up her name). He also starred bangkok hotel thailand with her years earlier in The Illusionist, one of my favorite movies. How tricksy... I suppose bangkok hotel thailand I will depart with one of my favorite quotaions from Hamlet: "Have you eyes? Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed and batten on this moor? Ha, have you eyes?"

The Palace Theatre went all glittery when Priscilla Queen of the Desert landed in March, co produced

2009 proved to be once again a phenomenal year for new writing. all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico New plays from the National Theatre, Royal Court and the Almedia ruled the season, alongside further revivals by the Donmar both in and out of the West End. Celebrity turns, some more reality television casting and comedians-turned-serious-actors made for some exciting productions in London, with only a small number of Broadway transfers.
The most long awaited new play of the year came from Alan Bennett in his first play since the triumphant The History Boys of 2005. The theme had been announced by the National Theatre, and Michael Gambon and Alex Jennings were ready to play Auden and Brittain respectively, alongside Francis de la Tour and managed by Nicholas Hytner. all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico Last minute changes saw Richard Griffiths step up to the plate, all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico replacing Gambon and making for a rather comedic History all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico Boys reunion. Bennett's play sparkled in the Lyttleton Theatre, all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico creating a meta-theatrical look at the nature of creating and maintaining art. Poet Auden and composer Ben Brittan were forced together in a fictional all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico meeting by Bennett in this riotous comedy all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico full of Bennett's usual pathos and serious reflections.
Lucy Prebble's play Enron premiered all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico in Chichester before transferring to the Royal Court followed by the Noel Coward all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico Theatre. The play was based on the Enron scandal, directed by Rupert Goold. The production highlighted the smoke and mirror financial practices which resulted in the collapse of Enron and gained five star reviews from many newspapers. The play did not transfer successfully to Broadway, where the New York Times panned the production and it closed prematurely. Jez Butterworth's play Jerusalem also opened at the Royal Court before transferring to the West End and received similarly strong reviews, particularly for Mark Rylance's portrayal of Johnny 'Rooster' Byron. The play follows a group of travellers living in Wiltshire all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico whom the council want to evict. The play transferred to Broadway later in 2011, where Rylance picked up the Tony Award for Best Actor.
Prick Up Your Ears opened at the Comedy Theatre, based on the life of playwright Joe Orton. The cast included Chris New and Matt Lucas, who had to pull out of the production due to the death of his former husband. The dark comedy failed to recover from Lucas's departure, and the production was short lived.
The big new musicals of the year were both stage adaptations of famous films. Sister Act the Musical opened at the London Palladium , featuring a brand new score by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater. Although the show was part produced by Whoopi Goldberg, the show did not use any of the songs from the hit 1992 film of which she starred. all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico The musical received positive reviews, with many praising all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico Patina Miller who took on the role of Dolores, the part originally played by Goldberg. Sheila Hancock starred as the Mother Superior with Katie Rowley Jones as Sister Mary Robert. The show was seen to be a spectacle, with larger than life sets and costumes invoking the disco period in which it is set. Menken's music and Slater's lyrics were praised, with most of the criticism focused on the book. The show ran for over a year, and transferred to Broadway before embarking on a UK wide tour.
The Palace Theatre went all glittery when Priscilla Queen of the Desert landed all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico in March, co produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group. The show is adapted from the 1994 film and tells the story of two drag queens who travel across Australia to perform in Alice Springs in a lavender bus. The score uses famous pop songs from the 70s and 80s, accompanied by an ensemble of drag queens wearing outrageous costumes. Billed as a feel-good show, past casts have included Jason Donovan, Tony Sheldon and Oliver Thornton. The show closed in London in December 2011 after an acceptable run.
The biggest musical all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico revivals of the year came from the Young Vic and the Regents Park Open Air Theatre, as they brought Annie Get Your Gun and Hello Dolly to new audiences. The former starred Jane Horrocks as Annie Oakley, and featured a dramatic re-orchestration using four onstage pianos. Thanks to free publicity from the BBC via yet another reality TV casting stunt, it was Cameron Mackintosh's Oliver! that got most of the attention, opening at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane . Based on Sam Mendes' previous production, the show set box office records after announcing that Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson) would play the role of Fagin, alongside 'I'd Do Anything' winner Jodie Prenger as Nancy. The production featured an army of children, bringing the show to life on the colossal all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico Drury Lane stage where it ran for just under two years. Russ Abbot, Omid Djialili and Griff Rhys Jones all took turns at playing Fagin, to often full houses of schools and coach trips. Many in the industry felt that the show's success was as a direct result of free primetime TV marketing, all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico causing much debate in the theatre world.
The Donmar all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico in the West End season presented what seemed to be the tenth celebrity Hamlet in the past year, as Jude Law brought the Danish Prince to life at the Wyndham's Theatre. The actor spoke of the challenge of the role, and although many praised the production, he was seen as a weak link. Back on home turf the venue presented a wonderful production of A Streetcar Named Desire starring Rachel Weisz as the faded southern all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico belle Blanche du Bois in a production led by Rob Ashford. Weisz defied expectations all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico in this clever production, all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico bringing a new vulnerability to the role that was praised by numerous critics, leading to her winning the Olivier Award that year.
William's fans were in for a second helping as the Broadway 2008 production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof transferred to the Novello Theatre, featuring the same cast with the addition of Adrian Lester as Brick. all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico The production was equally as stunning, all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico James Earl Jones delivering a magnificent overall performance as the patriarchal Big Daddy in the all African-American production.
Over at the National, Oscar winning actress Helen Mirren starred in Phaedra, directed by Nicholas Hytner in a bold new production. all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico Ken Stott played all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico the ill fated Miller hero in a classy revival of A View from the Bridge although his ego led to multiple breaks in the performance as his temper often flared off the stage and into the unsuspecting all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico audience. Sir Ian McKellen was joined by Sir Patrick Stewart in the Theatre Royal Haymarket's production of Beckett's tricky play Waiting for Godot. Critics found the interpretation to be definitive, all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico offering a rare chance to see such fantastic actors together onstage.
The biggest failure of the year came from the over hyped Broadway transfer of Spring Awakening. all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico After an 'out of town' tryout at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, the show moved to the Novello where it was unanimously praised by the major critics. Audiences all inclusive hotels in cancun mexico however thought differently and London was not taken in by this Tony Award winning musical, and it shut prematurely, losing a significant percentage of its investment.

The Edwardian / Nordic look of the production melded with Michael Walton’s lighting design from star

Earlier on in the season, 'twas a rocky start with three artistic directors at The Stratford Shakespeare Festvial helm, the sudden departure of artistic directors Marti Maraden, and Don Shipley predictably causing quite a stir.
Now only artistic director Des McAnuff remains but assisted by business manager Antoni Cimolino, and Stratford's steadfast Actor's Company, the Festival has regained solid footing with opening productions and directorial debuts nothing short of spectacular.
Brian Dennehy's melancholic curmudgeon maps of the united kingdom Krapp in Krapp's Last Tape brings playwright Samuel Beckett's radical text to an intoxicatng level and this year's Hamlet is one of finest productions ever produced for the Festival stage.
For those who remember, Canada's Brent Carver, Colm Feore or Paul Gross as Young Dane all three interpretations had shining moments, yet in his Festival debut directed by England's Adrian Noble, seeing Ben Carlson's multi-dimensional portrayal maps of the united kingdom of Hamlet is like seeing the play for the first time. Carlson is truly a Hamlet for the ages…
Known to Shaw Festival audiences, Ben Carlson is magnificent in his Stratford debut, maps of the united kingdom giving Shakespeare's ageless soliloquies new life and meaning. He draws from a rich palette of emotional colours, shades and tints, be he savvy scholar, The Players mischievous guest Artistic Director re enacting his Ghost Father's Murder Most Foul, or the morally wounded son, seething in a fetal coil centre spot, bemoaning his mother's incestuous actions.
Adrian Noble, long time Artistic maps of the united kingdom Director for England's Royal Shakespeare Company, who directed Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet for RSC in 1992, has skilfully solidified his 2008 Canadian production of Hamlet maps of the united kingdom with a winning supporting cast.
Geraint Wyn Davies almost maps of the united kingdom steals the show taking maps of the united kingdom usually doddering buffoon like Polonius, fashioning more of a witty, nosy but caring father to Ophelia and Laertes and making a glorious maps of the united kingdom juxtaposition to text-adept Scott Wentworth's cold, eventually conflicted Claudius.
Adrienne Gould's Ophelia triumphs, as audiences witness her crazy beautiful descent into madness. From Festival regular James Blendick as The Ghost to newbies Victor Ertmanis and Randy Hughson as The Gravediggers, all of Hamlet's cast make This Play the Thing.
Tony winner Santo Loquasto's flaxen maps of the united kingdom plank floor design is a master stroke – a chamber ensemble, and piano for Ophelia and Polonius serving as a divine device for set changes. The billiard table scenario is inspired for the short and sweet snooker maps of the united kingdom game between Claudius and Laertes as they conspire to murder maps of the united kingdom Hamlet.
The Edwardian / Nordic look of the production melded maps of the united kingdom with Michael Walton's lighting design from stark flashlight, vintage sepia silhouettes of The Players or the fog shrouded shadow maps of the united kingdom of The Ghost flowing through the door serve as another character – a striking element accentuating Adrian Noble's superb direction.
At play's end, Bard fans old and new were on their feet, bravos ringing out for what remains William Shakespeare's most intriguing work of all time – this Hamlet a sure sign that The Stratford Shakespeare Festival is now destined to find its global audience.

My first professional job was the national tour of a Stephen Schwartz musical called The Magic Show

Pippa Pearthree is currently on tour with The Addams travel to london Family playing the role of Grandma. You can see her in action through July 29th at The Kennedy Center. Her Broadway credits include The History Boys, Titanic, and Whose Life Is It Anyway . A few of Pippa s  Off-Broadway credits include The Dining Room, Hamlet and The Miss Firecracker Contest . Film and TV credits include Law and Order, Mrs. Soffel and Village of the Damned . Pippa is hysterical in The Addams Family and I must say I have been following her career for a while so it s nice to see her live onstage again.
My first professional job was the national tour of a Stephen Schwartz musical called The Magic Show . The magician, Doug Henning, played it on Broadway. Yes, there was magic but also music and a book. It was over 30 years ago, but I believe we played The National Theatre in Washington and I know we played the old Morris Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore.
We ve been on the road since September and while we are very fortunate to have a wonderful and friendly cast, who make touring as pleasant as possible, I am feeling a bit homesick and ready for a break. We head home for 6 weeks in August and that will be sweet.
I cannot say enough wonderful things travel to london about the great Richard Griffiths. His acting speaks for itself. It is so relaxed, so authentic. I was understudying the sublime Frances de la Tour and Richard could not have been more generous and kind. The boys were extraordinary and having the time of their lives in the biggest hit on Broadway. One of them, James Corden, received the Tony Award for best actor this year for One Man, Two Guvnors. My only disappointment was the one time I went on, Richard was back in England for the week filming a Harry Potter movie. How I would have loved working with such a master.
I ll just give you two of my favorites. travel to london I had a sweet, funny part as a nurse in Whose Life Is It, Anyway . This was in 1980, I think. I was 22, it was my first Broadway play and it was thrilling. A few years later, travel to london I was in a wonderful English play called American Days at the Manhattan Theatre Club. I played an aspiring travel to london punk rocker. It was a great part.
