A pedlar announces that the war is over; and as the soldiers return in the fragile peace that follows; the starving people are left to build new lives; to forge new identities. Written in a spare and lyrical language; Midwinter is a play about now; about love; self and a world made from conflict.Midwinter premiered as part of the RSC New Work Festival at the Swan Theatre; Stratford-upon-Avon; in October 2004. It is the second in a trilogy of plays which begins with Solstice and culiminates in Fall.

A better editionBy M. ArduzIm finding more and more kindle books that need editing; it seems that the digital editions are not carefully designed for comprehensive reading along the illustrations1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic Book on Modern Architecture in JapanBy Mary KerrWhat a wonderful surprise to find New Japan Architecture: Recent Works by the Worlds Leading Architects at a bookstore as I was getting ready for my trip to Japan! The book contains beautiful photos and informative explanation of 48 recent projects in Japan designed by Japanese and international architects including Fumihiko Maki; Tadao Ando; Hiroshi Hara; SOM; and SANAA. While the book has technical details that may be interesting to architects; I as a layman who enjoys architecture have found it very readable and interesting. The preface by Cesar Pelli (former Dean of School of Architecture at Yale University) and the foreword by Fumihiko Maki (a world famous Japanese architect) provide excellent perspectives to understand modern Japanese architecture in the context of cultural change; technological innovation and sustainability.I travel to Japan often for business and pleasure; but am getting tired of museums; gardens; temples and shrines. I am glad to know from the book that Japanese architectural design is leading the cutting edge of architecture worldwide. I will definitely visit those buildings illustrated in the volume in my future trips. It should add much to my enjoyment of the country. This is a must-have book for those interested in culture and architecture in Japan.
