This crazy farce is a play within a play, and that device allows the farce to be more farcical.Ĭhristopher Sly is poor and not what one would call a model person at all. See: List of Shakespeare’s play’s I’ve read and commented on COMMENTS ON THE TAMING OF THE SHREW However, I will keep a separate page listing each play I’ve read with links to any comments I would make of that particular play. At this time I have no idea how the project will go, nor if it will actually lead me through the entire corpus of Shakespeare’s plays. Thus I began with The Two Gentlemen of Verona. I wanted to go back, start with something not too serious or challenging, and work my way through the whole corpus. I hadn’t read a Shakespeare play since 1959, 50 years ago! But I had read nearly all of them in college. General Note: In January 2009 I decided that I’d like to go back and read all the plays of William Shakespeare, perhaps one a month if that works out. THE TAMING OF THE SHREW By William Shakespeare Book review - THE TAMING OF THE SHREW William Shakespeare Eugenia Lincoln declines, a bit rudely, to accompany on her accordion, and Horace Broom is too busy studying planetary movement. The Watsons are very involved in a precarious fruitcake attempt (but happy to send their pig, Mercy, out for the occasion). Her brother, Frank, is not good at spontaneity. When Stella gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting someone to join her. She felt like something miraculous might happen. Mercy ornament included! Stella Endicott felt joyful. For fans of Mercy Watson, old and new, comes a joyful crescendo of favorite characters in a picture-book celebration of the quiet miracles the holidays bring.

You can now order Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir by Matthew Perry on Amazon for $20.12 for the Hardcover and $13.29 on Kindle. Matthew Perry said that it was 'devastating' when 'Friends' costar Jennifer Aniston confronted him about his alcohol addiction on the set of the hit sitcom. Finally, with his book out, we could get answers straight from the actor himself. While the moment quickly passed, this piqued the curiosity of some viewers, and with the actor’s history of addiction, this leaves some fans to wonder what really happened with Perry, who so brilliantly played Chandler, from behind the camera. And that’s not healthy for sure, but if I said a line and they didn’t laugh, I would sweat and just go into convulsions.” While the special was mostly fun and heartwarming, there was a brief moment where Perry reveals that during filming, he “felt like I was going to die if the studio audience didn’t laugh. Tapping into that huge fanbase that crossed multiple borders and generations, HBO released Friends: The Reunion in May 2021, where Perry reunited with his castmates Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow. Youngest daughter Caroline, whom motherless Rose and Ginny had raised and unfettered from Daddy, is a lawyer in Des Moines. In a seaming, 20th-century version of Shakespeare's tragedy, Smiley-clawing open the "ingratitude" of a monarch's elder daughters to reveal a rage that could out-tempest Lear's-once again examines the buried secret hurts within families and the deadly results when damaged egos are unleashed: "The one thing.maybe no family could tolerate was things coming out into the open." Living under the iron order of that tyrannical, successful farmer Larry Cook, owner of 640 Iowa acres, are: daughter Rose, 34- year-old recovering cancer patient, mother of two and wife of ex-musician Pete, the perennial outsider, object of Larry's contempt and childless Ginny, married to Tyler, an easygoing man who can betray with silence. Georgiana, much younger than her siblings, still single, is considered the do-gooder of the family because she works for a nonprofit, where she becomes involved in a passionate and very ill-advised relationship. Meanwhile, Darley and her husband, Malcolm, a Korean American aviation-industry analyst who did not sign a prenup, are living off their own money as Darley fights the tedium of the entitled mommy lifestyle. That's unfair, though: Sasha signed a prenup. But on bad days." As Sasha finally admits in a gloves-off monologue following a gender reveal party gone awry, on bad days, it's "a janky Grey Gardens full of old toothbrushes and moldy baskets." A wealthier cousin of Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's The Nest, Knopf editor Jackson's fiction debut is a comedy of manners charting the fates of the Stockton siblings and their spouses, circling around the house where they grew up in Brooklyn Heights, now inhabited by Cord and his wife, Sasha, who is referred to as the Gold Digger by Cord's sisters, Darley and Georgiana. It was a four-story Brooklyn limestone, a massive, formal palace that could have held ten of the one-bedroom apartments Sasha had lived in before. "On good days, Sasha could acknowledge how incredibly lucky she was to live in her house. Money makes the world go round, particularly the world of an elite Brooklyn family. Opposition parties on Wednesday called on the president to use his power to dissolve parliament after Prime Minister Antonio Costa rejected an offer by Infrastructure Minister Joao Galamba to resign in a deepening scandal around state-owned airline TAP, snubbing Rebelo de Sousa. The prospect of any snap election producing a hung parliament and unstable government has likely prevented the president from using more drastic measures, analysts say.īut he said the Socialist majority government had work to do to preserve its credibility, and that he would be more assertive in his relationship with the administration. "All things considered, I will continue to prefer the guarantee of institutional stability" as Portuguese struggle with high inflation and interest rates, the conservative president told the nation in a televised address.

It is inspired by the requests they receive from people wanting to learn how to rewild everything from unprofitable farms, landed estates and rivers, to ponds, allotments, churchyards, urban parks, gardens, window boxes and public spaces. Charlie Burrell/Knepp Wildland In 2001 Charlie Burrell and Isabella Tree, the owners of Knepp Estate in the south of England, decided to transform their farm by 'rewilding' it. The book has grown out of Isabella and Charlie's mission to help rewild Britain, Europe and the rest of the world by sharing knowledge from their pioneering project at Knepp in Sussex. It’s not only bringing multiple benefits to land, but also generating economic activity and employment. It is ambitious, visionary and pragmatic. Knepp is a small step on the road to a wilder, richer country, and is proof that rewilding can work. The Book of Wilding is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature. And what comes is not just wildlife in super-abundance, but solutions to the other environmental crises we face. How can an individual ever make a difference? Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell know firsthand how spectacularly nature can bounce back if you give it the chance.
