Professional Tips for the Amateur Stage
Richard James knows the stage as an actor, as a director and as a playwright.
Here he brings his wisdom and experience to bear with practical tips for actors
and directors.
The directors tips go from page to stage - from choosing a play and choosing a
cast right through the rehearsal process.
For the actor, the journey goes from auditions to opening night, including
sections on stagecraft, rehearsals and approach to the text.
The booklet is
offered as a download in ePub format (suitable for most e-book readers) and pdf
(which can be read on everything else!) for just £6.50.

A Little Local Difficulty, an hysterical historical
novel by Geoff Bamber
Along with the rest of Czechoslovakia, the small town of Krupka has been over-run by the Third Reich.
Not only that, but the town's mayor has disappeared.
What
the people need is a well-respected and eminent citizen; well-known, well-liked.
They need someone who is honest, hard working and, with an occupying power to deal
with, diplomatic.
What they've got is Marek Poljovka, the schoolteacher.
Marek has come to realise that his great disadvantage was being available.
And
possibly expendable - after all, the war isn't going well...
A Little Local difficulty is available in the ePub format (which works on most e-book
readers) and as a PDF file
(for those e-book readers that can't cope with ePub).
Read the first chapter free in
PDF then
buy a copy - it's really funny. |
