Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For David Belke, writing plays took a new direction when he began thinking about smaller characters -- ones with modest dreams and quiet ambitions. Inspiration struck on a trip to Disney World at an out-of-the-way jazz club -- atmosphere; smooth, calming music; dim lights; musicians lost in their music; staff floating amidst tables; patrons. Jazz has never been mainstream. It would suit a cast of modest characters with small dreams and quiet ambitions. Somebody should write a play. Quickly Belke scribbled down his ideas on a Pleasure Island doodle pad. Characters were born in that moment. Like an instrument in a jazz combo, each character would have an opportunity to contribute to the whole. One character's story would take the lead for a while, then slide back to support another. And like a jazz composition, there would be no breaks in the play -- scenes smoothly crossfade, sometimes with a remark, sometimes by a character moving, sometimes because a character simply demands attention. And throughout the play there would be music -- sometimes in the background, sometimes in a live performance. Jazz rhythms would shape the play. Minor key music for minor key people!(1 act; 4 men; 3 women) Inspired by jazz music but not necessarily about jazz The problems dreams and desires of the &quotminor key&quot people who frequent the Combo Club may be small but they are also intense An oddly wistful comedy by the popular playwright David Belke Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

In her first collection, poet Jenna Butler fluently explores this rift, sounding out the meaning of home from the perspective of a British-born Canadian. Written in experimental free verse and containing a selection of anti ghazals, Aphelion's subject matter, physical appearance on the page, and the way it is read aloud all reflect these elemental distances.
