So here I am; homeless at home and half-gratified to feel that I can be happy anywhere John ClareInspired by the four-day journey made on foot by the legendary mad poet; John Clare; Town creates a new story set in contemporary Northampton. On Johns return to Northampton from the bright lights of London; he finds his hometown is exactly the same as when he left it - from the rooms at his parents house; to the Saturday nights on Abington Street. In fact; the only thing that seems to have changed... is John. Slipping back into his old habits; old jobs and old relationships; an out of work and disillusioned John considers why he swapped the anonymity of corporate city life for the comforts of home and embarked upon a sixty mile walk North.Northampton writer DC Moores Town poignantly explores enduring themes of identity; isolation and belonging; rooting them in modern life. With heartbreaking honesty and humour; the play probes the feelings that we all have about our hometown; and follows one man on his road to get back to where he started. This edition also includes the darkly comic monologue Honest; where one mans addiction for telling the truth leads to a night that spirals out of control. Taking you on a journey across London towards a late-night epiphany; the piece explores the lies we tell ourselves and each other; and the fall-out when the truth is revealed.

"Every conceivable way"???? Not hardly. Glad I got it cheap and used. I see some sellers are offering this book for pennies. Thats about what its worth.22 of 24 people found the following review helpful. Pretty much useless...By George OJThe book includes lots of information you already know if you approach things with a modicum of common sense. E.g.. this fragment is characteristic of the book: (p48) "Having drawn up a shortlist of (image) libraries you feel should be suitable for your work. the next stage is to find out exactly what they require." Duh! Similar "gems" abound: "once you have been accepted [...] you will be expected to sign a contract" (no example of a sample or typical contract is included). The chapter on stock image libraries does NOT even include a brief list of image libraries you may consider (n fact. not even one is listed!). or a single spec sheet from an actual existing image library to give you an idea of what each requires (in terms of size or file format). and there is no index or appendix of places to consider.Embarrassingly. the issue 57 of this years (2007) Digital Camera magazine in its cover section titled "Make cash with your camera" (authored by the very articulate. no-nonsense freelancer and book author Lee Frost) provides more useful info than this book (e.g.. the article includes a list of stock agencies that accept submissions from amateur freelancers. with requirements of size and image type. as well as website addresses. etc. for each).To make things worse. the author cannot decide if the book is to be on how to sell what you have. or how to generate it in the first place (e.g.. a very general chapter on what lenses to use for wedding photography and similar sections on beginning technique are out of place here).My recommendation: save yourself the time and trouble. Get the back issue of Digital Camera. and youll learn more.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Decent overview of whats out there.By GrCWhile its short on details. this book will give you an idea of all the opportunities that are out there. But youll need to find other sources to give you the specifics. I checked a copy out of the library. Theres not enough detailed information to justify buying it as a reference book. Id advise others to do the same.
