Book Description
Not many can boast of careers that lasted successfully for nearly seventy years, but that is what both Googie Withers and John McCallum achieved. Googie portrayed everything from brazen murderesses to Lady Bracknell, taking in blonde nitwits, wartime Resistance workers, lady farmers and Shakespeare along the way. John not only performed memorably in all the acting media but also was a pioneer producer in Australian television – sending Skippy into the far corners of the earth – the managing director of a huge theatrical firm, and a film director, playwright and author. Just as remarkable was their 62-year marriage, not all that common in the entertainment world, and the way this worked is as fascinating as their varied and prolific careers. There were plenty of disagreements along the way but underlying all was their profound respect for each other’s work and a kind of love that was essentially complementary. Together, in professional and personal matters alike, an unbeatable combination. Brian McFarlane’s biography does justice to this remarkable pair – and reads as an absorbing story. ‘Brian’s book brings back wonderfully vivid memories of an important Australian past. Once I had met and worked with Googie and John I knew they were true royalty. Together, they made my life richer and gave my profession a finer meaning. This book brings them vividly to life. It is a great read.’ – George Ogilvie, theatre director and drama teacher

The double act of Oedipus and Sphinx unriddled

Category : Religion

Pages : 15

Book Description
Sphinx is Imagination lighting up our blind senses. She corresponds to Aether, or Spiritual Insight (Buddhi-Manas) opened up. There are two Oedipodes, a Divine Oedipus, being a ray of pure mind self-exiled from its celestial abode. And a Worldly Oedipus, a reflection of the same ray imprisoned in an impure body. Both are sentenced to suffer conjointly on earth. Inspired by the Imagination and Will of Divine Oedipus, animal man begins awakening his higher faculties. If he succeeds, he will ascend from star to star, from one world to another, circling onward to rebecome the once pure planetary Spirit that he had started from. Bereft of Ariadne’s thread of philosophy, Worldly Oedipus remains spiritually blind and unlearned, unable to escape from the labyrinth of matter. Enmeshed in the darkness of duality, his unmastered passions condemn him to involuntary exile from the solidarity of the One — a perfect recipe for drama. Sphinx is the greatest mystery of past, present, and future initiations. How the tetrad changing into a duad is explained by the triad. Man’s clinging to the form allowed the idea to be forgotten. Sphinx is the living palladium of humanity. But she devours only blind interpreters.

Book Description
Sean Stirling isn’t having a good day. Hearing snide comments on a photoshoot, he storms off, not caring that he looks every inch a celebrity throwing a tantrum. Things get worse when he falls on the ice-covered street. As a car comes barreling toward him, there’s nothing he can do to prevent his fate. Luckily, Emerson Willis is there to save the day. Emerson pushes the man from the street, then gets bamboozled into accompanying the stranger to the hospital. After Emerson sees himself on television, he realizes the man he saved is a pop star. Now, Sean is smitten and eager to thank his rescuer. Emerson, whose mind is still spinning, can’t tell what to think about the sudden attention. Can the musician convince Emerson they’re made for each other? Or will Emerson dismiss it all as the passing fancy of a rich and famous man?

Book Description
Welcome to this volume of the great Double Acts. It highlights and celebrates those strikers who worked in pairs during the golden era of football in the late sixties and early seventies. Please note, I have stuck to the rigid rule of including just one Double act from one club. I hope you like the choices made. Again, like all of my books on Google Play, they are all free to read. It is written in an interview style. I have chosen a print size for an easier read on small devices. I hope you enjoy the book and can revel in the nostalgia.

The Language of Theatre

Pages : 334

Book Description
Theatre has provided many words and meanings which we use - ignorant of their origins - in everyday writing and speech. This is the first book to explore 2,000 theatre terms in depth, in some cases tracing their history over two and a half millenia, in others exploring expressions less than a decade old. Terms are defined, shown in use and cross-referenced in ways which will fascinate theatre-goers, help theatre students and encourage those engaged in the theatre to examine the familiar from new angles.
