Then Molly, Glenbogle’s guardian angel, looks set to spread her wings and fly in the face of expectation – into the arms of a new man. Even Golly, the very essence of the estate, whose loyalty and advice have been food and drink to Archie, is beset by his own family turmoil when his estranged daughter, Jessica, returns. Barbara McKissack, BBC Scotland’s Head of Drama, explains:“We join Glenbogle in a new era, with Archie and Lexie firmly at the helm, looking forward rather than back.Viewers have wanted that for so long and it’s lovely to see them together as the couple everyone hoped they would become. “That leaves other characters to have a different view of the world of Glenbogle and what they At last, an air of prosperity settles on the turreted, contribute to it.This has always been a place Victorian edifice of Glenbogle, but within this loch- where, behind the scenes, lots of change happens side Lairdom it is family, not fortune, that is about and where people find that they have been changed to pose problems.Although life has never been by experience – this year is no exception. sweeter for Archie and Lexie, the family MacDonald “The family has been changed by Hector’s death, by has adjustments to make.

But it will be even harder for this independent outsider to accept his place in the bosom of Glenbogle. “Beneath that ‘action man’ exterior is a little boy who has never known what it’s like to have a family and he wants to find a home,” says Stephen.“But what he hasn’t quite worked out is what the definition of home might be. “He cuts a swathe across the whole tradition of Glenbogle because, even though he wants to be part of it, he doesn’t understand it.

    edwardII resource pack A play by Christopher Marlowe Resource pack by David Wheeler ...why should you love him whom the world hates so? Thursday 8 - Saturday 31 March 2001 A Sheffield Theatres production resource pack edward II Resource Pack Dear Colleague, A resource pack for Sheffield Theatres’ 2001 production of Edward the Second, by Christopher Marlowe. The pack is designed for pre and post-performance use with students studying AS/A level Drama and Theatre Studies and English Literature, but should also be of general interest. I have tried to link closely to examination guidelines and where appropriate, use the terms and concepts which examiners are looking for, placing considerable emphasis on drama as a performed art. The pack is divided into 4 booklets for easy use: Socio-historic context The production process Themes and Issues Staging and Performance (including pre-performance work) Each booklet provides background and production-specific information and a student Do it! section where each activity is labelled as to its suitability for AS/A level Drama and Theatre Studies or English Literature. Please work with the pack as it best suits you; you are free to photocopy it for use within your school/college. We hope you find it to be an interesting and meaningful resource. It is part of our ongoing programme to make theatre interesting and accessible to young people. It would be very helpful if you could let us know what you and your students make of the pack. Please send your comments to: Education Department, Sheffield Theatres, 55 Norfolk St, Sheffield S1 1DA or E-mail: [email protected] Best wishes, David Wheeler Edited by: Sophie Hunter and Claire Pender Rehearsal photographs: Paul Ibberson For their support I would like to thank Director Michael Grandage, Designer Christopher Oram, and the acting company, Sheffield Theatres Education Department, Sheffield Theatres staff, Iris Associates and The Production Company.

    1. Title: 13 Tzameti ISBN: 5060018488721 Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men. 2. Title: 12 Angry Men ISBN: 5050070005172 Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the directorial debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in New York City, the 12 jurors retire to consider their verdict. The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his father, and eleven of the jurors do not hesitate in finding him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves - in a fresh light. 3. Title: 12:08 East of Bucharest ISBN: n/a 12:08pm on the 22 December 1989 was the exact time of Ceausescu's fall from power in Romania. Sixteen years on, a provincial TV talk show decides to commemorate the event by asking local heroes to reminisce about their own contributions to the revolution. But securing suitable guests proves an unexpected challenge and the producer is left with two less than ideal participants - a drink addled history teacher and a retired and lonely sometime-Santa Claus grateful for the company.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.
