![]() ![]() ![]() The puppet theatre allows us to present it in an interesting and complex way, with a multitude of settings, characters, with bear or auroch hunting scenes or finally with the grand Battle of Grunwald. Sienkiewicz’s work is an excellently told story which can captivate young and older audiences alike, make them laugh and move them at the same time. The main characters in the story are the knight Maćko of Bogdaniec and his young nephew Zbyszko. The Teutonic Knights is a historical novel set in the Middle Ages, during the conflict between Poland and the Teutonic Order, culminating in the famous Battle of Grunwald in 1410, possibly the greatest victory by Polish forces. The first adaptation of the novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz, a Polish Nobel Prize winner for Literature, for puppet theatre. ![]() ![]() Duff (himself the son of a Maori mother and a white father) shows amazing facility with language in the intense, fast-paced, choppy internal monologues he gives his characters. Readers are treated to the mind's musings before and after events, the distinctive imagery of people locked in a present they're trying to forget. A lot to take in, but these are only the most active moments in a book whose main action is interior. Beth receives a ``hiding'' for embarrassing her husband in front of his friends, her daughter is raped and commits suicide, her young son is carted off to juvenile hall, and his older brother dies in a gang fight, but Beth finds strength by summoning up her tribal heritage and teaching it to others. ![]() Instead, the men's lives consist of beer, gangs, fights, and beating their wives. As far as Beth is concerned, the Maoris would not have become impoverished lackeys with very little self-esteem had they stayed close to their warrior roots. Relegated to government housing in an unnamed city, she lives just two vacant blocks away from whites whose homes offer tantalizing glimpses of a privileged existence she and her family will never have. Beth, a Maori mother, feels nothing but anger and disgust at her people, who accept second-class citizenship as a given. ![]() ![]() Upon its New Zealand publication in 1990, this controversial debut novel rocketed to the bestseller list. ![]() ![]() This reviewer is often not merry and bright. All of this adds to the experience - and the fun. Reid adds to the experience in so many ways: bells chime, children play, horses trot, voices screech. We see Mays in shadow, delicately lit windows, glowing illumination under doors, and streaming rays that are practically blinding. Stanton makes brilliant use of light and darkness. View Gallery: Radio City Christmas Spectacular animals blessed by Cardinal Dolan At the Cratchit household, Mays wonderfully transforms - sometimes at the speed of light - from the poor man's wife to teenage Peter to the daughters to the little Cratchits to Tiny Tim. The Ghost of Christmas Past is a cross between a child and an old man. Mays may be at his best, though, in the loud and echoing voice of the ghost of Jacob Marley, Scrooge's former business partner, who lets him know he will be visited by three spirits. ![]() ![]() He easily moves from the cold-hearted Scrooge to the good-natured clerk Bob Cratchit. Mays changes his voice and expressions throughout, sometimes subtly. For this limited run at the Nederlander Theatre, he serves as narrator (identified as "The Mourner") while going in and out of characters, from Scrooge to Tiny Tim (Danny Gardner is "The Spectre"). ![]() He won a 2004 Tony Award for the one-man show "I Am My Own Wife," Doug Wright's play based on conversations with trans woman Charlotte von Mahlsdorf. ![]() That Mays puts on a master class should not be surprising. ![]() ![]() Publication of his journal of the voyage made Darwin famous as a popular author. ![]() His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836 established Darwin as an eminent geologist, whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's concept of gradual geological change. ![]() His studies at the University of Cambridge's Christ's College from 1828 to 1831 encouraged his passion for natural science. ĭarwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of Edinburgh instead, he helped to investigate marine invertebrates. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey. In a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science.
