  • The Crucible, Walter Kerr Theatre, New York — Review Max Mcguinness
    The Crucible, Walter Kerr Theatre, New York — review Max McGuinness I approached this production of The Crucible with some trepidation. Ivo van Hove, perhaps the most lauded theatre practitioner working today, directs the incomparable Saoirse Ronan in her stage debut alongside such seasoned luminaries as Ben Whishaw, Sophie Okonedo, Ciarán Hinds and Jim Norton. Philip Glass has written the music. This risks being a theatrical Agincourt, I thought. All that heavy cavalry will surely end up crashing into each other and getting bogged down in Arthur Miller’s dense and passionate play about the 1692-93 Salem witch trials. But van Hove has once again pulled off an inspired reimagining of a theatrical classic, which takes a little time to find its rhythm during the first scene, but then canters briskly along throughout the final two hours. That steady pacing reflects van Hove’s decision to treat the work like a diabolical police procedural. Accusations, interrogations and paperwork are what drive his Crucible towards its grim conclusion. As Deputy Governor Danforth, Hinds dominates the second half, delivering a flawless study of prosecutorial zeal in the service of fanaticism. Surreal flourishes, such as Tal Yarden’s bird-themed video sequences and a marauding wolf-like Tamaskan dog, keep witchery itself firmly in mind. Whishaw and Okonedo play the doomed John and Elizabeth Proctor with the right mixture of exasperation and defiance. As their nemesis Abigail Williams, Ronan adds a demonic edge to her usual effortless magnetism and is an entirely plausible conduit for mass hysteria. More impressive still is Tavi Gevinson’s interpretation of the wavering servant Mary Warren.

  • The Life and Death of an Icon Facil Ute Core Core Tie Modiam, Conulla
    WW | xxxxxxxx THIS STORY ALWAYS HAD everything, didn’t it? The blushing young innocent who transformed herself into the most adored – and most hunted – woman in the world. The Cinderella who found her Prince Charming – or thought she did – and then entered the palace via the golden carriage. The fairytale but fraudulent wedding of the century, followed by that grim parable of death in the Paris tunnel. The romance, the adultery, the royal intrigue, the eternal, hopeless quest for love, the media’s crazed preoccupation and pursuit. TIn her lifetime, Diana was the People’s Princess who, in death, became the Sleeping Beauty and the Lady of the Lake. She was the stuff that myths are made of and, like her or not, believe it or not, hers was a tale of epic, monumental proportions, that mesmerised the world for 16 years – from the time she walked down the aisle in St Paul’s Cathedral to the time of her funeral in Westiminster Abbey, witnessed by, what was it, a quarter of the world’s population? permafrost and the duke’s Teutonic coldness Think of Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, to Diana’s single-minded pursuit of Prince Greta Garbo, Jackie Onassis, perhaps even Charles and her elder son, William’s, interest Mother Theresa, and roll them into one in becoming governor-general of Australia. iconic figure, and you might approach the The Diana Spencer that emerges from fame, the celebrity of Diana Spencer, the pages of Tina Brown’s The Diana Celebrated editor Tina Princess of Wales.

Original Message -- From: Jill Iscol To: H Sent: Fri Dec 10 11:16:23 2010 Subject: FW: Letter to Hillary - from Tina Brown Dear Hillary, Although I had intended to shoot you an email about far more mundane matters, Tina called and asked me for advice on this request so I figured this should take precedence. Admittedly, in my opinion, this would be a particularly wonderful story because it would certainly underscore the significance of your work as well as that of the women throughout the world who are truly making a significant impact as they gain rights and access to opportunities in every sector. Having said this, I don't have a clue what else is on your calendar nor what the variables are that go into these kinds of decisions. Hence, although I personally love the idea, I am, primarily, a messenger. I am so sorry I didn't get to the TED Women's conference in DC. Perhaps, if I had known you were on the agenda, I would have tried to crash!! ( remember that word from our high school days)? In reality, I did not have the time to go and thought it was rather pricey to attend. I am busy working on the book which is going so well.

  • From Bombay to Mumbai
    Travelogue Armchair travels From Bombay to Mumbai This learning reminiscence discussion with six senior citizens from Eudora, Missouri, explores a different travel destination each month with things to learn, questions to answer, and a whole lot of fun along the way. This month they are traveling to Mumbai, India, to immerse themselves in the Indian culture. Traveling How-To’s & Tips • This is a copy of the complete trip for the facilitator to use. This activity can be acted out or read aloud in a skit-like manner by participants representing the six different Front Porch characters using this large-print dialogue. • Check out the links in the article for additional information to bring to the activity. • This PDF slide presentation may be better suited as a stand-alone activity for some audiences. The presenter can refer to the facilitator copy of the complete trip for links and more information to add as the slides are reviewed. • Post a sign announcing the trip. • If your group isn’t familiar with the Front Porch Travelers, have them Meet the McGivers (and friends). A Travel Advisory from Nell and Truman: If using all the information in Travelogue seems too complex for your group, trim it back and just present sections—such as showing and discussing the slide show or copies of the pictures, reading and discussing trivia points, or asking and discussing questions from the Discussion Starters. From Bombay to Mumbai Introduction India is a land of mystery and intrigue—so many sights, sounds, and smells (some good and some not so good).

  • Girl Rising India
    GIRL RISING INDIA Building a Movement for Girls Through Powerful Storytelling Girl Rising uses the power of storytelling to inspire, shift attitudes and change behavior. In India, Girl Rising’s powerful media tools have made meaningful strides towards increasing the agency of girls and women, and inspiring community members to support the movement for gender equality. Girl Rising Film Comes To India After a close consultation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a partnership with the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the Girl Rising film was launched in India in August 2015 as Woh Padhegi, Woh Udegi (She Learns, She Rises) on Star television, which has a network of 450 million viewers across the country and a reach of 100+ countries. The film harnessed the talents of India’s biggest Bollywood stars including Priyanka Chopra, Freida Pinto, Parineeti Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Sushmita Sen, Amitabh Bachchan, Nandita Das, Farhan Akhtar, and Alia Bhatt, all of whom lent their voices to the film. Celebrities promoted the launch through their social media networks, and #IAMGirlRising trended No. 1 on Twitter India. Film Screenings To stir important conversations about girls’ education among corporations, communities, universities and neighborhoods, a screenings program was launched soon after the television broadcast of the film. Under this program, Woh Padhegi, Woh Udegi was re-purposed for NGO and corporate audiences. Each version consisted of 3 stories from Woh Padhegi, Woh Udegi and was complemented by a screenings toolkit that contained resources including discussion guides, Director’s Q&A, and promotional materials to help steer conversations around barriers to education.
