Peepolykus bring their exhilarating combination of verbal slapstick; visual surprise and anarchic comedy to Gustave Flauberts seminal nineteenth-century masterpiece Madame Bovary.Laugh and cry in equal measure as Emma Bovary chooses the wrong husband. Lose yourself in mesmeric love scenes featuring a procession of devastatingly attractive men. Rail at the fate of women in a patriarchal society; if you will. Prepare yourself for vermin; moustaches; wild animals; lots of French people and a nun.Written for a bijou cast of four playing multiple roles; The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovarywas a co-production between Peepolykus; Liverpool Everyman Playhouse; the Nuffield in Southampton; Bristol Old Vic and the Royal Derngate in Northampton. It premiered at the Everyman in Liverpool in 2016 before touring to all those other places too.Like their tremendously popular Hound of the Baskervilles; Peepolykuss Bovary offers abundant opportunities for comedy and slapstick - plus some massive tragedy - to any theatre company or drama group looking for a loving derailment of a classic novel.

Each chapter included a short dose of history; then went into the postcards. They were from a mixture of time periods; including some buildings that are still standing. It brought back memories of long-ago visits to the Outer Banks.If you enjoy postcards or want to learn more about the history of the Outer Banks; youll like this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Outer Banks History in PicturesBy L. LooperI enjoyed this book of pictures of old postcards of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. The book was broken into chapters dealing with different parts of the Outer Banks; each section starting with an introduction (including some history). Each postcard picture in the chapter had a caption; further describing the picture; including years. Nicely done!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
