Cumming, Alan (B. 1965) by Linda Rapp
Cumming, Alan (b. 1965) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Alan Cumming. Detail of Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. a photograph by Angela Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Brinskele (© Angela Brinskele). Versatile actor Alan Cumming has performed a wide variety of roles on stage, screen, Image courtesy Angela Brinskele. and television. He has earned numerous awards for his acting and also for his support of glbtq causes. The younger son of a forester and a homemaker, Alan Cumming was born January 27, 1965 in Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. He spent his first year in the neighboring town of Dunkeld, where his father worked on a large estate. The family then moved to Fassfern on the west coast of the country, and three years later settled on the east coast, on another estate near Carnoustie. As a child growing up on an isolated estate he lacked playmates--his only sibling was six years older than he--and so he amused himself by acting out stories of his own invention. His cast, he recalled, consisted of "me and my dog. And imaginary others." After graduating from Carnoustie High School, Cumming worked for a year at a publishing company in Dundee, initially in the fiction department and then interviewing bands for a pop culture magazine called TOPS. Cumming then enrolled in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. While attending the academy Cumming met and married fellow student Hilary Lyon. After graduating in 1985, Cumming and a friend, Forbes Masson, developed a stand-up comedy act that proved extremely popular. -

Shakespeare and London Programme
andShakespeare London A FREE EXHIBITION at London Metropolitan Archives from 28 May to 26 September 2013, including, at advertised times, THE SHAKESPEARE DEED A property deed signed by Mr. William Shakespeare, one of only six known examples of his signature. Also featuring documents from his lifetime along with maps, photographs, prints and models which explore his relationship with the great metropolis of LONDONHighlights will include the great panoramas of London by Hollar and Visscher, a wall of portraits of Mr Shakespeare, Mr. David Garrick’s signature, 16th century maps of the metropolis, 19th century playbills, a 1951 wooden model of The Globe Theatre and ephemera, performance recording and a gown from Shakespeare’s Globe. andShakespeare London In 1613 William Shakespeare purchased a property in Blackfriars, close to the Blackfriars Theatre and just across the river from the Globe Theatre. These were the venues used by The Kings Men (formerly the Lord Chamberlain’s Men) the performance group to which he belonged throughout most of his career. The counterpart deed he signed during the sale is one of the treasures we care for in the City of London’s collections and is on public display for the first time at London Metropolitan Archives. Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the document, this exhibition explores Shakespeare’s relationship with London through images, documents and maps drawn from the archives. From records created during his lifetime to contemporary performances of his plays, these documents follow the development of his work by dramatists and the ways in which the ‘bardologists’ have kept William Shakespeare alive in the fabric of the city through the centuries. -

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies. -
Case 3:14-Cr-00085-JAM Document 112 Filed 11/17/14 Page 1 of 22
Case 3:14-cr-00085-JAM Document 112 Filed 11/17/14 Page 1 of 22 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. No. 3:14-cr-00085 (JAM) CARLOS COLON, et al. RULING ON DEFENDANTS’ JOINT MOTIONS FOR DISCOVERY (Doc. #36) AND TO DISMISS THE INDICTMENT (Doc. #37) This case involves seven criminal defendants who were set up by undercover law enforcement agents to rob a fictional drug ―stash house‖ in Connecticut. They fell victim to a ruse that federal law enforcement agents have deployed with remarkable success against countless suspects nationwide. All seven defendants—some of them armed—gathered one day last April at a parking lot somewhere in Stamford, expecting that they would momentarily proceed to a nearby stash house to rob and help themselves to 15 kilograms or more of lightly guarded cocaine. Instead, a flood of law enforcement agents swept in to arrest them. Each of the defendants now stands charged with conspiracies to engage in robbery, drug trafficking, and related weapons offenses. For their plans to rob a house and cocaine that never existed, each of the defendants likely faces at least 15 years of mandatory minimum imprisonment if convicted on these charges. Defendants jointly move to dismiss the indictment on the ground that the stash-house sting operation that was launched against them amounted to outrageous government conduct in violation of their constitutional rights under the Due Process Clause. Relatedly, defendants contend that they were targeted on account of their race in violation of the Equal Protection 1 Case 3:14-cr-00085-JAM Document 112 Filed 11/17/14 Page 2 of 22 Clause, and they seek discovery to support their claim of selective enforcement and prosecution. -

Photo: Cesare de Giglio The Little Matchgirl and Other Happier Tales. Photo: Steve Tanner WELCOME 2016 – a momentous year – in which the world celebrated the richness of Shakespeare’s legacy 400 years after his death. Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe. Actors performed scenes from the late plays running in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Southwark Cathedral, a service which was the only major civic event to mark the anniversary in London and was attended by our Patron, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. -
