Bøker av Andrew Wetmore

Eighteen talented rural Nova Scotia writers take you to unexpected places and bring you back with your eyes wide and your senses tingling.The inner workings of the community knitting group...what may happen if you explore that abandoned house on the edge of town...the unusual weight of a cello case...when the new waitress at the diner causes time to slow down...humble objects--a shirt, a broom, a painting at an exhibition, the marker on a cat's grave--that change lives...

Four short plays drawing on Shakespeare''s works and our modern-day use of them.In ''Twenty-Minute Tragedy'', minor cast members take over a production of Timon of Athens and lead it in a new direction.''Sprite Fight'' takes place backstage at a production of A Midsummer Night''s Dream, in the aftermath of a confrontation among the sprites.In ''A Shakespearean Fragment'', a shady fixer is trying to negotiate the sale of a fragment of something that was once precious to The Bard.''Loosely Titus'' presents Titus Andronicus as a game show, with ''33 onstage deaths, three hands cut off, and a really interesting cooking lesson.''The plays work together to make a fascinating evening of theatre, or can be performed separately in programs with other plays.
