    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 18, 2016 MEDIA CONTACT: Mariesa Bus, Marketing Assistant Manager Phone: 253.573.2507 | Email: [email protected] | Web: BroadwayCenter.org ART GARFUNKEL: IN CLOSE UP AT TACOMA’S PANTAGES THEATER SEPTEMBER 24 Tacoma, Wash. – Singer Art Garfunkel, a solo artist and half of Simon & Garfunkel, will perform a concert titled Art Garfunkel: In Close Up on September 24 at 7:30 p.m. at Tacoma’s historic Pantages Theater.

  • Tess of the D'urbervilles: a Pure Woman Exhibits the Characteristics of Literary Naturalism, an Extreme Form of Realism That Developed in France in the 19Th Century
    Tess of the D’Urbervilles A Pure Woman A Review The Setting of the Novel Most of the action takes place in the late 19th Century in Southwestern England in the county of Wessex, the fictional name of Dorset County. The town where Tess lives, Marlott (fictional), is four hours from London by horse- drawn coach or wagon. In Chapter 41, the action shifts for a time to Curitiba, Brazil, where Angel Clare and other Englishmen discover that the promise of riches is a deception they have fallen for. In Chapter 58, the scene shifts to the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge, north of the town of Salisbury, England, in the county of Wiltshire. Since Author Thomas Hardy was born in Dorset County in 1840 and died there in 1928, he knew the county intimately, his descriptions of its landscape, its people, and its customs ring with authenticity. Charcters Tess – the Protagonist * Intelligent, sensitive, and attractive 16 yr old who lives with her impoverished family * a diligent worker who helps her father support the family and assists her mother in looking after the younger children * has completed the Sixth Standard in the National School under a London teacher and, therefore, can speak two languages: the local dialect and standard English. Cont. John Durbeyfield: * Middle-aged father of Tess * self-described haggler who peddles goods and works the land * lazy and irresponsible, his family lives in constant want in a Marlott cottage *he relies heavily on Tess to help keep the family going Joan Durbeyfield: * Mother of Tess * a pleasant, easygoing woman, although at times she manipulates Tess * Tess gets her looks from Joan Cont.
