Not Black and White comprises of three new plays which examine the state of modern day Britain from the perspective of three leading black contemporary playwrights. Roy Williams; Kwame Kwei-Armah and Bola Agbaje tackle the prison system; the mayoralty and immigration in their respective plays. Category B: Roy Williams Saul runs a tip-top wing - the screws love him for it; especially Angela. Prisoners follow his rules; and its all gravy. But Sauls number two position is vacant; new inmates are flooding in; so everyones feeling the heat. No-one wants to go to Cat B; but the world on the outside is a different story. Seize the Day: Kwame Kwei-ArmahJeremy Charles could be Londons first black mayor. He has the face to represent it - a well-spoken; good-looking Londoner; with an appetite for change. Hes sold his pitch on reality TV; but can he be the real peoples candidate? Detaining Justice: Bola Agbaje Justice is locked in a cold dark cell; his asylum application pending. His sister Grace would like to help; but has been told to leave it in Gods hands. Crown Prosecutor Mark Cole has an infallible reputation for successful prosecutions - however he has had a change of heart - and job. His first case is for the defence of Justice - but; in his new role; is Cole the man to help? Published to coincide with the Not Black and White season at the Tricycle; where the three dramas played in rep Oct 8 -Dec 19 2009.

Amazing book. but misled by yet againBy RadicalDreamerAs an owner of Dream Theaters first keyboard anthology. this book had a high reputation to live up to. As far as the book itself goes. Jordan seems to have gone above and beyond for us. Contained within this tome are some of the songs I was disappointed not to see in the first book (longtime fans will likely squeal with delight when they see "Space Dye Vest" is finally transcribed here!). and each song is preceded by an exercise concocted by Jordan himself. focusing on a particular technique used in the song in question. I have only skimmed these so far. but they look like they will help greatly in mastering these signature dream theater keyboard styles. Couple this with what so far look to be spot-on arrangements. and no sections with only snippets of songs (as they did with the "six degrees" tracks on the first book). this book can be highly recommended to anyone looking to master a challenging piano piece.So. why four stars? The first issue is totally personal preference. so dont let it deter you: Im not personally a fan of "The Ministry of Lost Souls" (to explain quickly: while both the softer parts and the proggy bridge are individually nice to listen to. I feel that the bridge unnecessarily breaks up what was otherwise a fun ballad. while the bridge could have easily found a home in a more proggy song). and think that its position in the book could have been taken by a much more awesome DT song (Id really like a tab for "Strange Deja Vu". "Trial of Tears". or ideally "Hells Kitchen"). This is completely personal preference. as I said. and I know many people do enjoy Ministry. No biggie.The second problem is also not with the book itself. but with . Like their mixup in the description for DTs "Full Score Anthology". they have once again gotten the track list wrong for this book. To my extreme disappointment. "Lines in the Sand" is not actually in this book at all. This is one of my absolute favorite songs. with one of my absolute favorite keyboard parts (along with the HK intro). it is one of the main reasons I snatched this book up the minute I found it online. and I was very sad to see it not included in the book. I can only hope that another keyboard book will be put out (Ill keep buying them!) that will tackle this amazing song. and hopefully the other songs I suggested earlier will be included as well.So thats it! If you love Dream Theater. love piano. and arent afraid to work very hard to perfect these songs. you cant go wrong with this purchase. Keep buying them so Jordan keeps publishing new ones. please!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Everything great.except for one thingBy Longview3000Some of my favorite songs liter this book and I really enjoy. I really enjoy practicing to this book. and Im learning how to improv in this book mostly for the reason in the Mid-Section in "Home"Anyways. to get this out of the way. I gave it four-stars. not because of the book. nothing wrong with the book. but for the description of this book on this website. "Lines in the Sand" is definitely one of my Top 5 Favorite songs and even though the description claims to have this song in the book. the book itself claims to not have it.This book is definitely a great buy and I totally recommend it to ANYONE!!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
