READ: Read Reviews for Cyrano de Bergerac in London The play, which continues through February 29 in London, also stars Anita-Joy Uwajeh as Roxane and Eben Figueiredo as Christian. There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all - if only he could win the heart of his true love. In this modern take, the story of the poet with a famously large nose is told in the style of rap battle-meets-slam poetry. James McAvoy returns to the West End in an inventive new adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s masterwork, Cyrano de Bergerac by Martin Crimp, directed by Jamie Lloyd. The X-Men star continues his partnership with director Jamie Lloyd ( The Ruling Class, Macbeth) in the London production of Martin Crimp's adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s drama, which opened at the Playhouse Theatre last December.

Mary has written for National Geographic, Wired, and The New York Times Magazine, among others, and her TED talk made the TED 20 Most Watched list. Mary Roach is the author of the New York Times bestsellers STIFF, SPOOK, BONK, GULP, GRUNT, and PACKING FOR MARS. Join us for a conversation with author Mary Roach as she discusses her book – “FUZZ: When Nature Breaks the Law” with Mountain Lion Foundation’s own Jessica Janson. She reveals how peace between species is tantalizingly within our reach-if only we could do a better job of keeping respectfully apart.” Roach’s globe-spanning survey covers drunken elephants in India, seagull vandals in the Vatican, and our beloved mountain lions in California. In her new book beloved science writer Mary Roach wrangles a question that has defied satisfactory resolution for centuries: What is the proper course of action when nature breaks laws intended for people? Roach approaches this question with the same keen wit she previously applied to sex ( Bonk), death ( Stiff), ghosts ( Spook), and space ( Packing for Mars). “FUZZ: When Nature Breaks the Law” – A conversation with author Mary RoachįUZZ: When Nature Breaks the Law. I was thinking about, ‘What’s the best way to commemorate this 400th year?’ As a historian, I’m kind of biased. Kendi: I don’t think there was necessarily a moment as much as the coming awareness of the 400th year - the sort of symbolic birthday of Black America - and that date approaching. The conversation has been lightly edited for clarity and length.ī: When did the idea for the book first evolve - was there a particular moment or event that sparked the idea for it? (The audiobook edition of “Four Hundred Souls” is reportedly getting a literal chorus of “extraordinary voices” with a cast of 87 narrators, including Leslie Odom Jr., Danai Gurira, and Phylicia Rashad.)ī spoke recently with Kendi, who moved to Boston last year to launch and direct the new BU Center for Antiracist Research, to learn more about the new work and what he hopes readers will take away from the new community history. “Collectively this choir sings the chords of survival, of struggle, of success, of death, of life, of joy, of racism, of antiracism, of creation, of destruction - of America’s clearest chords, year after year, of liberty, justice, and democracy for all,” Kendi wrote. With their strikingly different but unified voices, the writers form a “choir” in telling the community history, Kendi wrote in the introduction for “Four Hundred Souls.” The new edition contains three additional signatures (48 pages) covering new works, such as the Dietch Gallery exhibition in SOHO that coincided with the book's opening and The Happy Film, a documentary that Stefan is launching next autumn.

A few generations before the book opens, the zombies started appearing in England. There just happens to be zombies, Asian martial arts, and ball jokes thrown in. OK, now that I have that off my chest, let me say that Jane Austen’s work, zombies, and the warrior Bennet sisters all work beautifully together to create one very entertaining listen! The entire framework from the original Pride and Prejudice is there. But over the past year, I have read and watched some zombie fiction so I have warmed up to the ‘ambivalent’ level (which is quite a bit higher than the cold-shouldered Hell no! level at which zombies previously resided in my world). As a biologist, it is hard for me to suspend my disbelief when it comes to reanimating dead flesh (though if an author does it with magic, it is easier for me to ignore my skepticism). I find her works to be silly and inconsequential, full of upper society gossip where the women have very narrow and superficial concerns. Let me start with being upfront about some things: 1) I’ve never been a Jane Austen fan.

Often, the protagonist is an ordinary person who finds themselves caught up in an otherworldly situation they never could have imagined. Haunted houses, ghosts, demons, and other supernatural beings are common themes in these books.
