Centering on the reminiscences of Rose McNulty, a woman who has spent over fifty years in state institutions, The Secret Scripture is a deeply moving story of love lost and redeemed, against the backdrop of an emerging Irish state in which female sexuality and independence unsettles the colluding patriarchies of church and nationalist politics. Demonstrating Sheridan’s trademark skill with actors, his profound sense of story, and depth of feeling for Irish social history, The Secret Scripture marks a return to personal themes for the writer-director as well as a reunion with producer Noel Pearson, almost a quarter of a century after their breakout success with My Left Foot.

  • In the Quirky (To Put It Kindly) Universe of High-End Audio, the Epithet “Lifestyle Product” Is a Bit of a Put-Down — Even
    In the quirky (to put it kindly) universe of high-end audio, the epithet “Lifestyle Product” is a bit of a put-down — even for an amplifier as imposing as the Pass Labs INT-250. According to the high-end stereotype, a “lifestyle” product is one that combines luxurious, living-room friendly aesthetics and operational simplicity and convenience, but with suspect sound quality. A “lifestyle product” doesn’t sully your living room with graceless industrial design, nor does it necessitate situating a tangled-linguine pile of ugly cables in plain view of your dinner guests. It incorporates multiple functions in a single unit and provides a simple remote control to operate them all. It doesn’t require endless tweaking and fiddling to sound good. In all these ways (if you must) it passes the fabled Spousal Acceptance Factor test. That said, the orthodoxy that holds that good looking, easy to use audio equipment is sonically inferior is a merely a prejudice waiting to be challenged. Who says that handsome, décor-friendly gear has to sound mediocre? In the realm of combining gorgeous looks and high-end sonics, consider the iconic, wood and leather-clad monitors of Italy’s Sonus Faber, the smooth, gleaming colors and rounded shapes of loudspeakers from France’s Focal, or the glittering, steampunk bling offered by Dan D’Agonstino’s Momentum Lifestyle (!!) Integrated amp and wireless streamer. As for “lifestyle product” convenience, standing at the pinnacle of make-it-uncomplicated- so-I don’t-have-to-think-about-it design, Apple’s surprisingly good-sounding (and almost magically usable) AirPods earbuds come to mind, as does my Peachtree Deep Blue 2 Bluetooth speaker (recently updated to the Deep Blue 3), a room-filling party-in-a-box with surprisingly fine sonics.

  • Macbeth Production Notes
    MACBETH PRODUCTION NOTES For UK Publicity Enquiries: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] For International Publicity Enquiries: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Stills can be downloaded from: studiocanal.co.uk/press SHORT SYNOPSIS MACBETH is the story of a fearless warrior and inspiring leader brought low by ambition and desire. A thrilling interpretation of the dramatic realities of the times and a reimagining of what wartime must have been like for one of Shakespeare’s most famous and compelling characters, a story of all-consuming passion and ambition, set in war torn Scottish landscape. SYNOPSIS Ellon. Scotland. Following a fierce battle in which Macbeth, Thane of Glamis and loyal general of King Duncan’s forces, has finally killed Macdonwald, a traitor and leader of rebel forces, he and fellow soldier Banquo encounter three women scavenging among the fallen soldiers, who foretell that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, while Banquo will be the father of future kings. Both men are unnerved by the prophecies but for the moment appear not to believe them. At the battlefield campsite, Angus and Rosse arrive from the King’s court to pass on thanks from their royal master for the success in battle and to bestow Macbeth the title Thane of Cawdor. The previous holder of the title has been killed for treachery against the crown. When Macbeth goes to pay homage to the King, Duncan tells him that he has made arrangements to visit his home at Inverness to celebrate the victory.

LASSETER May 2013 Copyright M.E. Lasseter 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This thesis traces the various physical and metaphorical journeys south of Chicago musician Andrew Bird. Using what historical record is publicly available, I examine Bird’s formal musical training. I then explore the years between 1995 and 2001, or what I call Bird’s period of apprenticeship. Next is an exploration of the canonical narratives surrounding the blues of the Mississippi Delta, especially the music of Charley Patton. When Andrew Bird encountered a canon, or dominant histories and meanings of Southern music that influence how musicians play and how audiences interpret that music, he began to react against that canon in his own compositions and performances.
