A scandal half-stifled is worse than a scandal. One is at everybodys mercy.Backstage at a hung parliament; visionary Independent Henry Trebell is co-opted by the Tories to push through a controversial Bill. Pursuing his cause with missionary zeal; hes barely distracted by his brief affair with a married woman until she suffers a lethal backstreet abortion. Threatened by public scandal; the Establishment closes ranks and coolly seals the fate of an idealistic man.Famously banned by the censors in 1907; Harley Granville Barkers controversial masterpiece gathers a large ensemble to expose a cut-throat; cynical world of sex; sleaze and suicide amongst the political elite of Edwardian England.This edition was published for the National Theatres revival in November 2015.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Lighting Design Activity WorkbookBy A CustomerI cant for the life of me figure out why this book is so expensive. It is a workbook for students and other lighting designers who are looking for a refresher about different lighting techniques and their effectiveness. I pull it out whenever I am at a creative impasse because it helps me to consider the basics. which helps me pull out a better design.It starts with a brief overview of all the basics of design ideas and equipment. But this certainly should not be your main source of this information. Then it gets on to the real meat of the book - the activities.I wouldnt suggest buying this book unless you have a space and equipment to actually do the activities. Learning with this book is achievable only by doing the exercises. working through the problems. and observing. as the book offers no "right answers" and espouses no "right way".Examples of activities covered in this book are achieving an even stage wash and "to explore the problems of providing enough visibility for the audience to understand the action. while maintaining the atmospheric credibility of a moonlit garden which is sufficiently dark and shadowy for mistaken identities to be feasible" to minimalistic lighting to lighting through gauze.Excellent for a teacher to buy to teach a class. Dont make your students buy their own copy though. it is overpriced.
