Innocent or guilty? You decide.Jeffrey Archers play; The Accused; is a tense courtroom drama with a difference. The audience will act as the jury; as if they were in the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey. You will have to decide... Did Dr Sherwood murder his wife? Was Jennifer Mitchell his mistress? Which of his alibis should you believe.The choice will keep you on the edge of your seats; and at the end of the trial you will be invited to deliver your verdict of guilty or not guilty. Once you have made that decision the play will continue - with one of two different endings; depending on your verdict. Only then will you finally discover the truth.The Accused premiered at the Theatre Royal; Windsor; in September 2000.

Give your language flash cards a break!By Joseph PokaThis bilingual version of Merchant of Venice works great as a connector from (A) a play with which one is thoroughly familiar to (B) its transalation into a language that one is learning; say; at an intermediate phase. I particularly liked the formatting with English on one side and the corresponding Italian on the other. You can read the Italian and if you get stuck on a word or phrase then the English is right next to you and the sense of continuity in your reading is retained. From a language learning perspective; reading a translated version weans one away from flash cards; lists of verbs and tedious grammatical explanatory clutter. You step out of a learning box and can start flying.Finally; what is ultimately fascinating; there are phrases and meanings that cannot be translated word for word but are in fact "transliterated"; that is; an equivalent meaning is conveyed to the reader by a word grouping that does not lend itself to a word by word equivalency. You get to cross a lot of interesting bridges.
