Caryl Churchills Light Shining in Buckinghamshire; set during the English Civil War; tells the story of the men and women who went into battle for the soul of England. Passionate; moving and provocative; it speaks of the revolution we never had and the legacy it left behind. In the aftermath of the Civil War; England stands at a crossroads. Food shortages; economic instability; and a corrupt political system threaten to plunge the country into darkness and despair. The Parliament men who fought against the tyranny of the King now argue for stability and compromise; but the people are hungry for change. For a brief moment; a group of rebels; preachers; soldiers and dissenters dare to imagine an age of hope; a new Jerusalem in which freedom will be restored to the land. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre; London; in 1976; the play was revived at the National Theatre in 1996 and again in 2015; in a production directed by Lyndsey Turner.

Not as dry as I thoughtBy jnavcrewThis book is a requirement for my Ethics in Communications class and I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting it is. Usually texts like this tend to be very dry but the authors provide some interesting an thought-provoking scenarios to explain the principles of ethics as applied to mass communication. It can get a bit "cerebral" at times but it doesnt spend too much time in the weeds. Youll rarely find yourself reading the same page over and over trying to grasp the concepts. Also; there is a robust glossary that provides concise definitions. A healthy bibliography is also good for those of us who have to write a lot of papers. It points you in the right direction. Great choice and a great price. Better than the college bookstore.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Defective BookBy CustomerWhen I received the book; the front cover was mostly ripped and while reading it trying to open the book; because it was so fragile the front cover came off. Will I be charged although it was not in the right condition?
