A wild storm shakes a small East Anglian seaside village and sets off a series of events that changes the lives of all its residents. Set in the high Edwardian world of 1907; The Sea is a fascinating blend of wild farce; high comedy; biting social satire and bleak poetic tragedy.The play was first produced at the Royal Court Theatre; London; in 1973 and will be revived at the Theatre Royal Haymarket; London; from January to April 2008.This cosmically inclined neo-Chekhovian romp set in a stiflingly small seaside town in 1907 proves to be every bit as masterful as its sensational predecessor [Saved].

She Found Lots of Perfect $100k Homes!By Len MoskowitzShe found lots of perfect $100k homes -- too bad they werent perfect for her!I enjoyed this book immensely -- read it in two days.With a warm and friendly writing style; Ms. Jacobs (former editor at Dwell magazine) introduces us to host of talented architects; each with their own take on the $100;000 home; based on local needs; economics politics and aesthetics. Some are mid-century moderns; some are updated classics; and others defy classification. All are interesting!Along the way she gives us some insight into whats going on across the spectrum in the world of architecture; from the huge corporate builders to the "one-off" customs.As others have noted; there arent enough pictures (just one black white drawing for each chapter); but the two page index of the architects Web site URLs make up for that in spades. I spent two hours surfing them and had a ball!Finally; Im glad it was her doing the extended road trip and not me -- I surely would not have lasted as long as she did!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Title a bit misleadinghellip;.By Barefoot DudeEntertaininghellip;.19 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Disappointing; I was hoping for a great deal more....By Suzanne Elizabeth AndersonI suppose I was expecting a journey along the lines of Tracey Kidders House; something personal and organic.I found this book frustrating for two basic reasons:1. The lack of photographs; especially of the specific houses discussed was frustrating. Akin to discussing the merits of a painting; without a picture of it! I dont know if this oversight was the fault of a cheap publishers budget; or the authors choice; but the book suffers as a result.2. The authors voice: seemed bitter or jaded or tired of her journey about two-thirds before the road trip was done. Needless to say; it seems that she never found a house that she could actually commit to.As a result of the above; the reader leaves the book neither caring about the authors quest or any closer to discovering where to find the perfect $100;000 house.Perhaps the only thing I got from this book was a fleeting desire to subscribe to Dwell magazine.
