My dad is a superhero. No one else knows cos it has to stay a secret.Alistair McDowalls play is a funny and poignant one-man show that thrusts us into the life of Britains only part-time superhero. Struggling to balance his family responsibilities and more conventional job with defeating super-villains and rescuing families from burning buildings; Captain Amazing represents how all parents strive to be heroes in the eyes of their children. Discover this mans origins; his family life; and how even the invincible arent immune to tragedy.Captain Amazing received its world premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013; starring Mark Weinman; and directed by Clive Judd. It was revived for a national tour from March 2014.[He] is the kind of man you wouldnt look twice at in the street: balding; stooped; tentative. Hes skating over the surface of life; marking time with his job at BQ; barely acquiring possessions; not speaking to his alcoholic father. And then he meets a woman who does look twice at him; who gives birth to their daughter; Emily; and suddenly Emily is convinced that her beloved father is a superhero. Daily Telegraph

Occasionally I think some of the compositions are subpar; but in general the guidance is wise; and the mini-biographies of composers are highly interesting. I use this book many hours per day; because it is so useful.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. biography of the great composers andBy FpwddsDefinitive guide to the various eras of "classical music; biography of the great composers and.....a list of each composers best; critically acclaimed pieces; symphonys; concertos; sonatas; etc. Just a wonderful book to learn about great music.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
