  • A JOURNEY from THIS WORLD to the NEXT by Henry Fielding
    1 A JOURNEY FROM THIS WORLD TO THE NEXT By Henry Fielding INTRODUCTION Whether the ensuing pages were really the dream or vision of some very pious and holy person; or whether they were really written in the other world, and sent back to this, which is the opinion of many (though I think too much inclining to superstition); or lastly, whether, as infinitely the greatest part imagine, they were really the production of some choice inhabitant of New Bethlehem, is not necessary nor easy to determine. It will be abundantly sufficient if I give the reader an account by what means they came into my possession. Mr. Robert Powney, stationer, who dwells opposite to Catherine-street in the Strand, a very honest man and of great gravity of countenance; who, among other excellent stationery commodities, is particularly eminent for his pens, which I am abundantly bound to acknowledge, as I owe to their peculiar goodness that my manuscripts have by any means been legible: this gentleman, I say, furnished me some time since with a bundle of those pens, wrapped up with great care and caution, in a very large sheet of paper full of characters, written as it seemed in a very bad hand. Now, I have a surprising curiosity to read everything which is almost illegible; partly perhaps from the sweet remembrance of the dear Scrawls, Skrawls, or Skrales (for the word is variously spelled), which I have in my youth received from that lovely part of the creation for which I have the tenderest regard; and partly from that temper of mind which makes men set an immense value on old manuscripts so effaced, bustoes so maimed, and pictures so black that no one can tell what to make of them.

  • Toy Cars Down Steep Slopes By: Caitlin Turnage
    Toy Cars Down Steep Slopes By: Caitlin Turnage CHARACTER NAME BRIEF DESCRIPTION AGE GENDER CATHY Home owner 45 Female JACK Cathy's adventurous son 24 Male RAINY Cathy's diseased son 29 Male AMY Married to Rainy 27 Female SYNOPSIS: Cathy is a mother who has shoved her children out of her house with a tendency to hoard. However, when she's diagnosed with Huntington's disease she understands it's time to change--and time to move, but she can't do it without her estranged sons help. When the boys return, they have to come to terms with their mother's hereditary disease, and their own death sentence. PRODUCTION HISTORY: Staged Reading at the University of Houston Act I SCENE 1 Interior of a manufactured home in Mississippi. The home has been encased in brick to make it a permanent residence. In the main bedroom, shelves line the walls with various knickknacks. The room has a distinct theme of childhood whimsy. The room is somewhere between a collector’s haven and a hoarder’s hovel; it’s organized chaos. On one side of the bed is a piled collection of ceramic dish-ware. In another corner of the room are toy cars, some of them still in their shiny packages stacked high on top of each other. Coloring books and stickers and different objects with toy car or race car themes also litter this mountain. Along the back wall surrounding the bed is a book case lined with journals of all sizes and shapes. The journals on the left hand side are untouched and pristine, while the journals on the right side are worn and battered like someone’s tossed them around.
