  • POEMS by Erin Louise Shaffer This Collection of Poems Attempts To
    ABSTRACT WHAT’S MISSED: POEMS by Erin Louise Shaffer This collection of poems attempts to illustrate that despite the possible pain of an examined life, through it, greater levels of meaning can be revealed. They tend towards a narrative mode, but are also interested in lyric methods of presenting the small agonies and joys of human existence. The poems are attuned to presenting the beauty and meaning of the everyday with a voice of humor, wit and sincerity, and are deeply concerned with character. They reflect attention to the accretion of detail. It is important that they be morning glories and hyacinths, not just flowers. The reader is invited to the same level of conscientiousness with which the speakers in these poems experience the world. These works aspire to help others see mirrors of their own experience and motivate them to create their own paths to understanding.

Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? 1 Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? Armelle Parey Introduction 1 The figure of Inspector Morse first appeared in a novel by Colin Dexter, Last Bus to Woodstock, in 1975. By the time the character reached the TV screen in 1987, impersonated by John Thaw (in The Dead of Jericho), Colin Dexter (1930-2017) had already published 7 of the 12 novels he wrote in total around the figure of the grumpy opera- loving inspector. The TV adaptation, Inspector Morse, consisted in 33 films, broadcast in series or as “specials”, aired on ITV between 1987 and 2000, finishing with the adaptation of The Last Remorseful Day (1999) in which the character dies1. Following the death of John Thaw in 2002, Dexter stipulated in a clause in his will that no other actor should reprise the role2.

  • June 2015 President: Vice President: Price 50P When Sold Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace
    No. 491 - June 2015 President: Vice President: Price 50p when sold Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace WHAT A SWELL PARTY IT WAS! Liz Schafer reviews Shakespeare’s Birthday Party 2015 This year’s Shakespeare’s Birthday Party was marked by a ‘can do’ spirit of improvisation and the result was a thoroughly enjoyable event. The Old Vic circle bar, where the party is normally held these days, was full of props and so there was no room for the party. Crisis! But Ned Seago, the Old Vic doorman, arranged for the party to be held instead backstage in the rehearsal room. Once the rehearsal room had been commandeered, Nickolas Grace stood outside the theatre greeting guests with his usual charm and directing us to the Webber Street Stage Door entrance. After we had all recovered from the lift, which probably should be granted ancient monument status – it had lovely wooden panelling and a sign sternly warning Maria Friedman with Jamie Parker and The Bard everyone that ‘weight must be evenly distributed’, we were able to relax in the open, airy rehearsal room. This, as members with long memories reminded us, used to be the venue for the VWA parties. I would certainly vote for parties being held there in the future if at all possible. As Nick pointed out, although the floorboards were now sanded down, they were the very ones trodden by stars such as Olivier, Ashcroft, Gielgud in their days at the Vic, when they were in rehearsal. Nick certainly had plenty of interesting memories of working in that room.

  • The Golden Compass
    Inspector Morse in Oxfordshire Oxford has long been home to Morse author Colin Dexter and famously became the backdrop to his popular murder mystery novels. It is not surprising that when ITV came to shoot the 33 Morse films, Oxford and the surrounding county consistently made it on to the screen. Inspector Morse is best known for an appreciation of beer, Wagner compositions, crossword puzzles, and zipping around his beloved city of dreaming spires in a red Jaguar car, usually accompanied by his long- suffering sidekick Sergeant Lewis played by actor Kevin Whateley. Enjoy a taste of Oxfordshire as you wind your way around some unmistakeable county locations in pursuit of mystery, Morse and murder! 1. Sheep Street 33, Burford The picturesque medieval town of Burford (known as the “Gateway to the Cotswolds”) features in The Remorseful Day where John Barron falls to his death from a ladder. He is pushed by a hooded culprit while painting Mrs Bayley’s house. 2/3.Blenheim Palace & Combe sawmill gate. Set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland the unique English Baroque architecture of Blenheim Palace is on view in The Way through the Woods. Morse drives up to Blenheim to investigate after George Daley’s body is discovered inside the Combe sawmill gate, to the west of the estate. Morse returns to Blenheim to interview a worker on the grounds. (Blenheim Palace & Gardens, Woodstock. Open: 10:30 - 5:30 daily Tel: 01993 810500. Combe sawmill gate: Park Road to East End in Combe, Woodstock) 4. Oxford Canal, Thrupp basin (Banbury Rd.

Goals are being scored and Honorary President chances that were wasted over the previous two seasons are finding the net. John Richards Not only that, the defence is starting to gel and results are promising. Chairman Stuart Earl Manager, Kenny Jackett, seems to have instilled a different mentality into the Deputy Chairman players that the previous managers failed to do and the football is, to say the Stef Leonard least, watchable without flinching. Let us hope the trend continues. Honorary Members Sir Jack Hayward OBE I would like to express my thanks to our Social Secretary, Roy, for his efforts in Steve Bull MBE organising the Christmas lunch which was, yet again, well supported. A full Secretary report and pictures of the event are elsewhere in this issue, with more available Dave Slape on the web site.

  • Intensive I WEB SAMPLE 2020
    A B INTENSIVE I C D WEB SAMPLE 2020 E Total NEW PASSING MARK: 6 (six) NEW TEXTBOOK: English File Elementary – FOURTH EDITION PART I: READING A. Read the passage and do the task below. (10) A Crime Writer Colin Dexter was a British author. He born in 1930, in Stamford, Lincolnshire. He studied Latin and Ancient Greek at Cambridge University, and after his graduation, he became a school-master, teaching Latin and Greek in secondary schools in the Midlands. After that he worked as an educational administrator until his retirement in 1988. Colin Dexter turned to crime writing when he was in his mid-40s. He started writing during a boring rainy family holiday. In his lifetime, he wrote thirteen detective novels, including Last Bus to Woodstock (1975), Service of All the Dead (1979), The Wench is Dead (1989), and Death is Now My Neighbour (1996). They are all based in and around the ancient university city of Oxford. His novels are famous for their two police detectives, Inspector Morse and his assistant, Sergeant Lewis. The two characters like solving mysteries and crimes together. The novels inspired the popular British series Inspector Morse and two spin-off series, attracting large audiences whenever they are shown. Public demand has been so great that further Morse stories have been specially written by other authors, and the series has been successfully exported to other countries. Dexter died in 2017 at 86. During his life he received several prizes, and after his death Queen Elizabeth II gave him an honorary title. Task: Tick the correct answer in the box below: True False It doesn’t say 1.
