![]() ![]() Crew is part of making that magic happen, and the fact that they are stuarts over the magic in this book is fitting and wonderful. I also appreciate that theater is treated as a magical place with power to inspire the audience with stories told. The cast and director usually show their gratitude towards the crew during rehearsals or speeches before taking the stage, but the audience rarely talks to the crew to tell them what a wonderful job they did. It is true that a lot of the credit and glory goes to the actors because they are the visible ones. I love that the crew is getting to be the stars of a story. ![]() As a person who has participated in the theater arts, both as an actor and as crew, I appreciated so many things about this story. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-length movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night.

If you were a former superspy unable to access memories of everything you’ve done, said, and experienced prior to eight years ago, how likely would you be to trust other spies? If your long-lost colleague asks you to fill in massive blanks, how much do you tell him? Is it better to know it all, or can ignorance be bliss when your job used to be not-quite-state-sanctioned murder in glamorous locales? If you’re torturing intel out of another operative, how do you verify the information they share? If the zip ties were on the other wrists and you were being held captive, what would you do? What lies would you tell to escape being tortured? In one way or another, everyone is grappling with these questions in “Infinite Shadows.”Įspionage is built on an odd little paradox: Spies have no choice but to trust others while doing trust-ruining things to them. ![]() Photo: Paul Abell/Prime Video/Paul Abell/Prime Video ![]() ![]() Strictly speaking, he was spoiled before he was born, because he was conceived, brought up and grew up in a social paradigm, which made the contemporaries feel creepy. ![]() ![]() His name has become synonymous with perversity, cruelty and blind pursuit of lust. Ignorance of the story does not interfere with getting an aesthetic pleasure from the canvas, but in order to understand the main subject’s train of thought, you still need to know the story a little.Ĭontinuing the way of Nero and Caligula, the 23rd Roman emperor Heliogabalus was spoiled from childhood. The scent of roses (yes, that’s just such a train of thought) would suffocate the guests. It described Roman emperor Heliogabalus during a feast, who ordered the murder of his enemy guests, strewing them with roses from the ceiling. ![]() As a basis, Alma-Tadema took the subject that is dubious from a historical point of view, Historia Augusta. ![]() The work in pastel colours with predominant pink is about death, and, to put it more clearly, about multi death, gang murder. Keeping to the standard of the compositional golden section (the aspect ratio of the canvas is 132x213 cm), this canvas is filled, according to some, with the spirit of human suffering, and according to others, it is a historical and literary fake. The Roses of Heliogabalus is a 1888 painting of the English artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the 1970s, MacKinnon, who has both a law degree and a doctorate in political science from Yale, successfully used federal Title VII law to argue that sexual harassment is sex discrimination, an interpretation that made her famous, and turned employment law on its ear.

Which may be why the question is so often asked in a skeptical tone implying that, unlike the multiplication tables or the principles of auto mechanics, creativity can’t be transmitted from teacher to student. Because if what people mean is: Can the love of language be taught? Can a gift for storytelling be taught? then the answer is no.

The British Empire ran for centuries and covered vast swathes of the world. And yet empire is a subject weirdly hidden from view. ![]() In prose that is, at once, both clear-eyed and full of acerbic wit, Sanghera shows how our past is everywhere: from how we live to how we think, from the foundation of the NHS to the nature of our racism, from our distrust of intellectuals in public life to the exceptionalism that imbued the campaign for Brexit and the government's early response to the COVID crisis. In his brilliantly illuminating new book Sathnam Sanghera demonstrates how so much of what we consider to be modern Britain is actually rooted in our imperial past.
