Australia 1789. A young married lieutenant is directing rehearsals of the first play ever to be staged in that country. With only two copies of the text, a cast of convicts, and one leading lady who may be about to be hanged, conditions are hardly ideal...Winner of the Laurence Olivier Play of the Year Award in 1988, and many other major awards, Our Country's Good premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1988 and opened on Broadway in 1991. 'Rarely has the redemptive, transcendental power of theatre been argued with such eloquence and passion.' Georgina Brown, Independent Methuen Student Editions are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from the modern and classic repertoires. As well as the complete text of the play itself, the volume contains a chronology of the playwright's life and work; an introduction giving the background to the play; a discussion of the various interpretations; and notes on individual words and phrases in the text.

Basis for the CBS Mini-series Starring Natasha Richardson.

"The words leaped at me from The Washington Post. 'I have decided,' President Franklin Delano Roosevelt announced, 'that approximately 1,000 refugees should be immediately brought from Italy to this country.' One thousand refugees....For years, refugees knocking on the doors of American consulates abroad had been told, 'You cannot enter America. The quotas are filled.' And, while the quotas remained untouchable ... millions died."

With this mixture of desperation and hope, Ruth Gruber begins Haven, the inspiring story of one thousand Jewish and Christian refugees brought to sanctuary in America in 1944. As special assistant to Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, Gruber was selected to carry out this top-secret mission despite the objections of military brass who doubted the thirty-three-year-old woman's qualifications. When Gruber met the gaunt survivors, they told her about hiding in sewers and forests, of risking their lives to save others. As she wrote down their stories, tears often wiped out the words in her notebook.

Gruber became the refugees' guardian angel during the dangerous crossing of the U-boat-haunted Atlantic, and during their eighteen-month internment at a former army camp in Oswego, New York. Lobbying Congress at the end of the war, she also helped the refugees become American citizens. This edition concludes with a new chapter featuring Gruber's look back on her many decades as a crusading journalist, and a special Appendix from the 1946 Congressional Record listing the names of all the camp's residents.

Perhaps this question has been asked/answered already, but it was something I've always wondered. During the flood of Noah, the whole earth was covered in water, the fountains of the deep broke from beneath the earth, and then it rained for 40 days and night, water covered the tops of the highest mountains in the world for many months, and so on. Okay, so through all this until the water subsided, no doubt thousands (or millions) of humans and animals were drowned throughout the earth, along with all the lush vegetation of all the earth, and swished around the globe in a mucky, muddled slop of floodwater mess. As the waters subsided and the muck settled, I'm sure the softened earth was no doubt in various stages of erosion, resurfacing and even differences in ocean water levels and newly-carved canyons and rivers and lakes forged by remaining water runoff making its way back to the ocean. Pre-flood, the four rivers that flanked the Garden of Eden, are by name Pishon, Gihon, Hiddeqel, and Euphrates. After seeing many documentaries of seeing lush vegetation underneath arctic ice, and deserts that used to be rainforests... I've also seen on shows like the Nat'l Geographic that Iraq is pinpointed as being the place where the Garden of Eden was... because of the fact that there are two rivers that run through there that have the same name as the pre-flood Eden. They went on to show two other possibilties of where the other "two rivers of Eden" would be. I am not for or against any religion on this question. I am just seriously wondering how accurate can the geography and the location be for this garden between four rivers, especially after many dramatic geological and climatic changes in our world, let alone a devastating worldwide flood? What are the chances of saying that a certain place in our current time truly holds the pre-flood Garden of Eden, especially from days where there were no concrete, steel, or roads to stay cemented in place as landmarks? I appreciate everything in advance to help me with my confusion. Thank you very much. (more...)

Please can you give me some ideas to improve the introduction of my vampire novel? Here's the beginning: Chapter One April 11th 1880 "Catherine Kale, come with me please." I raised my head proudly as I was lead to the gallows, by a priest, chanting, and scattering holy water. His blue eyes were cold, Every step I took felt like another blow. I had not lead a proud life. I had been born into a working-class family, to a single mother, who had later hung herself from the shame and loneliness of being an outcast. I had been very lucky to have even found a husband. I was all alone in the world - but I would not be in this world for much longer. Now on the platform, I refused to let myself cry. Life was a show, and even I should be allowed one dramatic finale. The hangman lowered the noose over my neck. I met the mocking purple eyes of a young woman in the crowd. The trap-door dropped with a bang like a shot. And I fell into blackness. January 7th 1872 I was on desk duty at my hotel when I saw her first. I sat at the desk, licking my forefinger, and flicking through paperwork. I tucked my pen behind my ear and looked up suddenly, when I became aware of a young woman standing over me. She looked around nineteen...or maybe twenty, but had an air around her that seemed older, somehow, although she was very youthful. Her face was remarkably beautiful. It was like a glacier in the beams of the dawn, glimmering with silvery-white skin, lips red as the rising sun, and her cheekbones were as sharp as cut ice. I shrunk into my seat, shivering, huddled up, as I felt the cold close in around me. I felt as if I could fall into her eyes...deep pits of purple, with glimpses of gold... and at times, I could have sworn I saw a red lightening bolt shoot through them. They were rimmed by the densest forest of black lashes that I had ever seen. Unlike many other women, she wore her hair loose, trickling over her left shoulder like a river of loose black ringlets. Her dress was like that I had only ever dreamt of...let alone wear. It was a very fashionable ball-gown style, in a pit-black cascade of velvet, with white and red lace and ruffles in abundance on the skirt. There was a split at the front to reveal a scarlet inset, like a glimpse of blood beneath skin. The bodice was a sleek, simple design - strapless and mainly plain, but with a hint of white lace at the top. I pulled out a form. "Bonjour madmoiselle. Would you like a room?"I asked. "Yes, of course I do. Hurry up, I haven't got all day." she snapped. "Which name shall I book the room under?" "My name is Ruxanda Selieza." "We have rooms sixteen or twenty free. I recommend room twenty. It has a fantastic view of the forest, and we don't charge extra for it." "In that case, room twenty. I trust that there is room service?" "Of course. Here is your key. I hope you enjoy your stay... we shall send someone up with your bags shortly." I handed her the key to the room twenty. She strode up the stair-case, her dress trailing behind her.I turned around and bumped into John, my husband. He was gazing, transfixed at her back. I kissed him, gently, and peeled myself away from him, and gazed at his face. His eyes were still glued to Ruxanda's back. He was not exactly handsome - quite plain, really. But I loved him. I loved his plain-ness, his simplicity of words, the way his ginger hair was a mess, no matter how much I flattened it. And the way he always had stubble, even when he had shaved. "Damn razor." I had heard him curse often enough. He had always complained how it was too blunt, and never got rid of the stubble, but he never bought a new one. That was another thing I loved about him - he was funny. I knew that although in other aspects of my life I was very unlucky, in love I was the happiest I could hope for. I was so lucky to be married to a man that I loved. Not many women had that advantage. And he had risked everything for me. I was well below his station. He was middle class, and I was lowest of the low. I could not lose him. Ruxanda had a certain charm to her I could not put a finger on. She may have seemed cold and unfeeling, and frankly...rude when I met her, but people were drawn to her like moths to a flame. It was odd. By midday, she had a crowd of people surrounding her, talking and joking with her. Some men flirted, others gazed shyly, but everyone was drawn to her. Even me. I thought I disliked her - she seemed thoroughly disagreeable when I had met her, but there was something about her that fascinated me. I hated her for luring my husband's attention away from me, but at the same time, I could not stay away. I kept talking to her, smiling, and offering her more wine, on the house...it was as if I could not control my actions. She seemed to have struck up a close friendship with a girl named Serena. Serena was russian, and about twenty. She was quite pretty, and had the stereotypical ballerina-ish stature, and sleek, I'm not trying to copy twighlight, because I haven't read twighlight yet. So therefore, I couldn't copy it if I tried. (more...)

In modern times, humanity's social and intellectual progress have enabled amazing things, far more amazing than those things described as God's miracles in the Bible. God supposedly cured individuals of certain illnesses, or walked on water, or made a guy survive being eaten by a whale for a while, or rained fire down on cities. We've eliminated almost every deadly pathogen-borne disease barely a century after discovering what disease even was. We get around by flying at extreme speeds at such extreme heights that the atmosphere begins to thin near the vacuum of space. We communicate by writing on thinking machines and sending messages through the ground and through space encoded in light so that people on the other side of the world can communicate with us with less than a second's delay. On the devastating side of things, we can obliterate cities and threaten the survival of our own species on a scale unfathomable to the authors of the Bible with the advent of nuclear weapons. Obviously God doesn't do big miracles (parting of the Red Sea, obliteration of Sodom and Gomorrah, rains of fire and random animals, etc.) anymore, if he ever did. Now, people claim that he still does miracles, but these miracles are inconsistent with what's described in the Bible. They're a mixture of fortuneteller miracles (e.g. people nearly dying but not, people being unusually lucky, et cetera) and God-taking-credit-for-man miracles (e.g. "yeah we invented medicine, but who do you think inspired the scientists?"). The thing is, this isn't how God works, or at least not in the Bible. He didn't inspire a civilization up the river to dam up the Red Sea so Moses could cross; he supposedly just sort of went "abracadabra" and split the waters. He didn't inspire a bunch of people to start arsons in various parts of the city; he supposedly just made it rain fireballs. So why is it that God's so shy lately, and all his miracles take the form of things that could easily be explained by natural phenomena, luck, and other people's work, instead of the dramatic, obviously-magic stuff that he did throughout most of the Bible (and is supposedly still going to do in Revelations)? Is he trying to hide? Does he think we don't need his help anymore? Or is the Bible a collection of sea-monster stories, believable if it's told by sailors a long time ago and very far away, but not really so true in the here-and-now? (more...)

OK-cokey. So for English I had to write a short opening for my story, but I'm thinking its a bit too dramatic. Plus I think there's not enough drama in my examples (you'll see what I mean), so if you feel like it could you please review it and give me a bit of lovely feedback? Thank you. When the world burns, and your life is extinguished, because you have seen pain, loss, destruction, hatred, how do you keep living? How do you survive in a world that is shakily "just managing"? How do you overcome something so terrible and inhumane, and quickly adjust to a new, simpler life? The human mind is amazing, its ability to cope, process and overcome. But like most things, it is volatile. How can one man, trying his best for the world, ruin it in a few short months? How can an old, much trusted family friend selfishly turn her back and leave someone when they are in danger, leading to a fate worse than death? How could someone, a man given honour to protect and serve, see a child screaming on the floor, lying in a river of its mothers blood, tears streaming, eyes shrieking with pain- pain caused by that "someone"- then take his smoking gun, and bring it down on the child's head? What is human nature, and morale? When the world is burning, are these people worth saving? Oh, I know there's a lot of questions, but that'ssort of the point ;) (more...)

Essay William Bradford and John Smith each have interesting writing styles. William Bradford wrote Of Plymouth Colony, which was a journal that he kept for the first thirty years of Plymouth colony. John Smith was the author of ?A Description of New England? and was also known for being a soldier for the English. Bradford has somewhat of a more serious aspect of writing in his work in my opinion. The tone of his work seems to have more of a dramatic quality to it and contains more historical information. He uses adjectives in a way that paints a picture for the reader as he does in the following quotation: ?There was a proud and very profane young man, one of the seamen, of a lusty, able body, which made him the more haughty; he would always be condemning the poor people in their sickness and cursing them daily with grievous execrations?(Bradford 29). Bradford also seems to have a negative tone towards the Indians that they encountered while in Plymouth. ?All this while the Indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes show themselves aloof off, but when any approached near them, they would run away; and once they stole away their tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner. But about the 16th of March, a certain Indian came boldly amongst them and spoke to them in broken English, which they could well understand but marveled at it.? (Bradford 32) Smith?s work, on the other hand, had more of a positive tone in my opinion. He writes about how life in New England is friendlier towards common people than it is in New England by way of its benefits of the freedom granted to them. ?Here nature and liberty afford us that freely which in England we want or it costs us dearly.? (Smith 36) He furthermore approves of New England by praising the surrounding environment. ?For hunting, also, the rivers afford not only chase sufficient for any that delight in that kind of toil or pleasure, but such beasts to hunt that besides the delicacy of their bodies for food, their skins are so rich as may well recompense thy daily labor with a captain?s pay.? (Smith 36) In conclusion, I feel that Bradford?s work is more historically accurate just because it gives more information about the journey to and then the struggles of colonizing Plymouth. Smith seems to just promote and endorse the new colony, while Bradford tells the story of their journey. the topic was to contrast the works or william bradford and of john smith (more...)
