{PDF EPUB} Mirrorstone by Michael Palin the MIRRORSTONE Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Mirrorstone by Michael Palin THE MIRRORSTONE. An adventure in picture-book format, designed to make use of laser-produced holographic images, of which seven are included. The story is banal. Paul travels through his bathroom mirror to a medieval-looking world where an evil wizard (Salaman, surely an echo of Tolkien's orb- deluded Saruman) tries to trick him into making a perilous sea journey; running away, he falls into the sea through a reflecting puddle, evades sea- monsters, is somehow trapped within the sphere of the mirrorstone, but crashes back into his own bathroom when it shatters. The watercolor illustrations include plenty of eerie, mysterious spaces and nightmare-like architecture. The holograms are fascinating, with the surface appearance of shiny foil: when manipulated under a light source, they reveal three-dimensional images derived from complex constructions by the artist, bathed in ever-changing colors. As a curiosity, they may be worth the book's price. Mirrorstone by Michael Palin. Monty Python alumnus Michael Palin steps into the larger-than-life world of Ernest Hemingway in a two-part series airing Wednesday, May 3 and Wednesday, May 10, 2000 from 9 to 11 p.m. (Check local listings.) Michael Palin (Host/Writer) established his reputation with the ever-popular "Monty Python's Flying Circus." More recently, the British actor has become known for his entertaining global adventures documented in three other award-winning, PBS series "Full Circle With Michael Palin," "Around The World In 80 Days" and "Pole To Pole." Born in Sheffield, England, Palin first gained recognition in 1962 when he joined Brightside and Carbrook Co-Operative Society Players and won the Best Performing Gent Award at the Co-Op Drama Festival. At Oxford University, he wrote and performed comedy with Robert Hewsion, and for the university production of "Hang Down Your Head and Die." In 1964, he appeared with fellow Python member Terry Jones in the Oxford Revue at the Edinburgh Festival. Almost immediately upon graduation from Oxford, the satirist was snatched up by the BBC, where he wrote and appeared in several shows. In May 1969, Palin joined Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle and Terry Jones for the first series of "Monty Python's Flying Circus," while continuing to work on other projects, including a BBC-TV play "Secrets," written with Jones. In 1977, Palin and Jones also wrote and starred in the BBC's "Ripping Yarns," an award-winning series of comedies. Palin takes a break from adventure to enjoy the beauty of the Italian countryside. With the Python crew, Palin moved on to big screen projects such as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "The Life of Brian." He has received critical acclaim for his work in such films as "The Missionary," "A Private Function," "Fierce Creatures" and "A Fish Called Wanda," which earned him the British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. In addition to his novel "Hemingway's Chair," the book that inspired his latest television travels, Palin has written the companion books to his previous series. His other literary forays include "Dr. Fegg's Nasty Book of Knowledge," "Dr. Fegg's Encyclopedia of All World Knowledge" and the children's books "The Mirrorstone," "Cyril" and "The Dinner Party" and "Small Harry and the Toothache Pill."

Sir Michael Edward Palin , KCMG CBE FRGS (born 5 May 1943) is an English comedian, actor, writer and television presenter best known for being one of the members of the comedy group Monty Python and for his travel documentaries. Contents. Early life and career [ edit | edit source ] Palin was born in Broomhill, Sheffield. His father was an engineer working for a steel firm. He started his education at Birkdale preparatory school, Sheffield, and later Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury. When he was five years old at Birkdale, Palin had his first acting experience playing Martha Cratchit in a school performance of A Christmas Carol . At the age of ten Palin, still interested in acting, made a comedy monologue and read a Shakespeare play to his mother while playing all the parts. After his school days in 1962 he went on to read modern history at Brasenose College, Oxford. With fellow student Robert Hewison he performed and wrote, for the first time, comedy material at a university Christmas party. [1] Terry Jones, also a student in Oxford, saw that performance and began writing together with Hewison and Palin. In the same year Palin joined the Brightside and Carbrook Co-Operative Society Players and first gained fame when he won an acting award at a Co-Op drama festival. He also performed in the Oxford Revue together with Jones. In 1966 he married Helen Gibbins, whom he first met in 1959 on holiday in Southwold in Suffolk the county he returned to in recent years to live.

  • The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash
    SPOOFS The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash In the 1970s, Eric Idle, a former member of the legendary British com- edy team Monty Python, featured a Beatles parody song called “It Must Be Love” on Rutland Weekend Television, his own television show on BBC-2. The song had been written by Neil Innes, who had previously worked with Monty Python and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. The song was performed by ‘The Rutles’, a Beatles look-alike band featuring Neil Innes as the John Lennon character, and Eric Idle as the Paul McCartney character (vgl. Harry 1985: 69). In October 1976, the parody was shown on America’s NBC TV’s show Saturday Night Live as a se- quel to the running gag of a Beatles reunion for $3,000. The parody went down so well that Eric Idle and Neil Innes decided to produce a feature program about The Rutles for television. Idle, who was a close friend of George Harrison, was allowed to watch Neil Aspinall’s unreleased do- cumentary about The Beatles, called The Long and Winding Road. Aspi- nall’s film featured a bulk of famous footage of The Beatles, from their first televised performance at the Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last group performance on the roof of their Apple business building. Idle u- sed The Long and Winding Road as a model for his fake-documentary about The Rutles and basically re-told the history of The Beatles pro- jected upon this imaginary rock band, adding essential elements of par- ody and the Pythonesque sense of surreal humor.

  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

  • Tim Brooke-Taylor Very Brief TIM Was Born in Buxton, Derbyshire
    Tim Brooke-Taylor Very Brief TIM was born in Buxton, Derbyshire. His father was a solicitor, his mother a Lacrosse International and his maternal grandfather, a parson who played centre forward for England in the 1890’s. At Cambridge, as a result of a promise he made to the Derbyshire Education Committee, he joined the Footlights Club and became president. His colleagues included John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. Tim is probably best known as one of ‘the Goodies’ and he has just returned from Australia where the goodies did a sell-out tour. He has been part of the radio programme ‘I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue’ since the beginning in 1972. He is a passionate supporter of Derby County. Tim Brooke-Taylor Not so brief TIM was born in Buxton, Derbyshire. His father was a solicitor, his mother a Lacrosse International and his maternal grandfather, a parson who played centre forward for England in the 1890’s. After a bad educational start - he was expelled from his first school at the age of five and a half - he went to various schools in Buxton and then on to Winchester College. Before going to Cambridge he taught at two private schools - one in Hemel Hempstead and the other, one of his old schools in Buxton, Holm Leigh - but only subjects he knew very little about. In 1960 he began an Economics and Law degree course at Pembroke College, Cambridge and, as a result of a promise he made to the Derbyshire Education Committee in return for a grant, he joined the Footlights Revue Club.

Most famously, The Two Ronnies, his longstanding partnership with Ronnie Barker, made him a household name and even a national treasure. ‘I do find the “national treasure” thing very touching,’ he once told one interviewer, ‘actually, it brings a tear to my eye when people call me that.’ Born in Edinburgh to a Scottish baker and his English wife, Ronnie was educated locally but shunned further education after a handful of performances in amateur theatrical shows at his church youth club convinced him he wanted to be an actor. He served in the Royal Air Force and was, at only five feet tall in his stocking feet, the shortest commissioned officer in the British Forces. After moving to London, he made his professional stage appearance as Ronald Corbett in Take it Easy in 1956. Initially sensitive about his height, he soon realised that he could use it to huge comic potential.

  • Spamalot, Cal Poly Arts Has Booked King Arthur and His Gallant Knights for a Triumphant Center Stage Encore Engagement on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:30 P.M
    0\LPOLY News - University News & Information California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California October 24, 2011 News release from Cal Poly Arts: Contact: Lisa Woske, [email protected] Ticket Sales: 805/756-2787 SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA – In response to last season’s sold-out performance of the Tony Award-musical, Monty Python's Spamalot, Cal Poly Arts has booked King Arthur and his gallant Knights for a triumphant Center Stage encore engagement on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center. Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” Monty Python's Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail. As one might expect, Spamalot features a chorus line of dancing divas and hapless knights, taunting Frenchmen, killer rabbits, and one very determined legless knight. Based on the Tony Award-winning direction of Mike Nichols and the riotous choreography of Casey Nicholaw, the national tour of Monty Python's Spamalot features a script by Python’s own Eric Idle, which is based on the screenplay by fellow Monty Python creators Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, with music and lyrics by Idle and John Du Prez. Monty Python's Spamalot was the winner of three Tony Awards and a Grammy for its original cast recording. (Adult content) Tickets for the Center Stage performance range from $30 to $68 and may be purchased at the Performing Arts Center Ticket Office, 11 a.m.
