Phoebe Throssel lives on Quality Street, the bustling hub of a quaint northern town where she runs a school for unruly children. Ten years since a tearful goodbye, an old flame returns from fighting Napoleon. But the look of disappointment on Captain Valentine’s face when he greets a more mature, less glamorous Phoebe, spurs our determined heroine to action. She becomes the wild and sparkling Miss Livy, a younger alter-ego who soon entraps the clueless Captain. As their romance is rekindled, can she juggle both personas? Or will her deception scandalise the town and wreck any future with the man she loves? Quality Street will tour to Halifax, Salford, Liverpool, Newcastle upon Tyne, Leeds, Newcastle- under-Lyme, Hull, York, Lancaster, Bury St Edmunds, Guildford, Derby, Scarborough and Harrogate.

M. Barrie, Peter Pan Bron: He’s just a lost boy. Hilary: This isn’t Never Never Land. —Alan Bennett, The Old Country One of Freud’s fundamental insights is that the human psyche develops through a process by which the individual confronts and seeks to compensate for the frustration of his or her desires. Through the whole spectrum of human activities, from the destructively neurotic to the healthy, we try to come to terms with the fact that some of our desires have not been, and perhaps never will be, satisfied.

  • Educating Rita: to Educate - Transitive Or Intransitive Verb?
    Educating Rita: to educate - transitive or intransitive verb? Carmem Diva Rodrigues Jorge Wilson PUC-Rio One of the hazards of globalisation is the increase of competition at the work place. In fact, the more competitive the market, the more education one seems to require in order to succeed. It follows that, in the past decades, continuous education became a fundamental feature in most technological societies. Consequently, more and more adults are going back to school hoping that education will help them escape the terrible fear of being left behind. It does not matter the age of the learner, the learning process should always be pictured as a social practice, i.e., learning takes place when social subjects negotiate knowledge through social action. Thus, by taking into consideration the socio-constructivist approach to learning and the systemic-functional approach to language I will investigate the learning process that takes place in the fictional story by 10.17771/PUCRio.PDPe.8504 Willy Russel - Educating Rita. I will be looking into important issues, such as: the real agent of the process of education, learner autonomy, power relation between teacher and student, reproduction of social practices and the voices of the participants involved in the process of learning. Key Words: learner autonomy, social practice, social identity, community of practice. BRIEF INTRODUCTION “Our social context teaches us our language, and language makes us ourselves” (Richardson, 1992, 117). Although some linguists still believe that one can actually study language dissociated from its social context, in this paper I will claim that, as social beings, we use language for social interaction and that, consequently, learning should be seen as a social practice.
