Dame Edna Everage and the Rise of Western Civilisation: Backstage with Barry Humphries
John Lahr Manufacturer: University of California Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0520223055 |
Book Description
John Lahr is one of the most celebrated critics of the performing arts. Winner of Britain's 1992 Roger Machell Award for the best writing about public performance, Dame Edna Everage and the Rise of Western Civilisation is an insider's account of a great clown and a great act. It takes us backstage at London's Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, with Barry Humphries, and into the weird and wonderful world of his show-stopping creation--Dame Edna Everage.Customer Reviews:
Great book but still can't do justice to the live show.......2003-12-03
Beyond creating an indelible character, Humphries is a master improv comedian. In November 2003, I saw 'Dame Edna' live at a Dallas, Texas appearance. (S)he balanced five or six active storylines that were conjured up in conversations with various audience members. How the evening went totally depended on what Edna pulled out of those people. The results had the audience rolling in laughter and shocked at how much wonderful material could get mined out of what didn't appear to be much to work with.
If I had 10% of Barry Humphries talent, I would be very happy.
Dame Edna: National icon.......2003-07-28
For anyone who is a fan of Humphries and his characters this book provides a detailed insight into the creative force and intellect that has produced the best comedy theatre in the world.
For any of the new American fans of Dame Edna, this book may go some way towards filling in what you have been missing out on since Edna Everage made her quiet and unassuming debut in Australia nearly 50 years ago.
Humphries' heavy touring schedule in the US is your gain, and our loss. If you haven't seen the show, do whatever it takes to see this man and his characters on stage. I have never seen theatre which could have an entire audience bent over in laughter, tears pouring down their faces, at the mere sight of a character walking across the stage - Sir Les Patterson - and then reduced to total silence, shedding noiseless tears as Sandy Stone quietly mourned the loss of a treasured lemon tree.
This book has opened my eyes to so many other reasons why we find Barry Humphries' characters funny. It is as incisive an examination of the man and the art as one could hope to find.
Nothing worth reading.......2003-01-30

Wheel Within a Wheel
Frances Willard Manufacturer: Applewood Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1557094497 |
Book Description
Written toward the turn of the nineteenth century by Frances Willard, the founder of the WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union) and well-known suffragette, A Wheel Within a Wheel offers lively insight into the mind of an independent woman who also reflected the temper of her times. Brave enough to take up bicycle riding when she was fifty-three years old, Willard reported that her bicycling costume "consisted of a skirt and blouse of tweed, with belt, rolling collar, and loose cravat, the skirt three inches from the ground; a round straw hat, and walking-shoes with gaiters. It was a simple, modest suit, to which no person of common sense could take exception."Customer Reviews:

Book Description
New edition: revised and with new introduction by the author! Winner of the inaugural Prometheus Award for Libertarian fiction in 1979.Canny old Pete Paxton thinks there's a monstrous conspiracy brewing that threatens the LaNague Charter and the freedoms it guarantees for Federation planets. The only way to head it off is to enlist the aid of Josephine "Jo" Finch, the current CEO of Interstellar Business Advisors, a firm Pete co-founded with Jo's grandfather more than half-a-century before. Jo mistrusts Pete and suspects he may beresponsible for the bizarre death of her father that left her orphaned at age ten. But she is soon convinced that the old man's fears are more than justified.
Jo and Pete are soon matching wits with one of the shrewdest, most devious politicos in the Federation, threatened by a ruthless psi-talent whose victims face a fate far worse than mere death. They must also deal with the Vanek - the gentle, enigmatic inhabitants of the planet Jebinose who, against all logic, claim to have murdered Jo's father.
