And then go, ‘OK, gotta do it again.’ I haven’t done a role this emotionally difficult in, I don’t know … It’s just terrible. So frankly, every night, I’m a little devastated. And it’s a woman who starts the play in a place of extreme loss - son, husband, lover - and it only gets worse. There isn’t a moment where she’s not feeling and empathetic to somebody, or some situation. On the other hand … Amy Morton, who played “Lovey” Ranevskaya in the 2004 Steppenwolf “Cherry Orchard”: “For me it’s the complete opposite. She just devastates anyone in her path, so there’s great fun in that.” What Arkadina says is at the expense of everyone around her, and it makes a big difference in terms of the way I feel when I walk out the door. With (Chekhov) the opposite happens: I leave it all on the stage. What’s it like for an actor to inhabit a Chekhovian universe eight times a week? Susan Hart, who portrayed Arkadina in the 2004 Writers Theatre “Seagull”: “I did Michael Frayn’s ‘Benefactors,’ playing a woman who absolutely showed no emotion at all, and I’d find myself bursting into tears in the car because I had so much penned up inside me.

Boldly signed by Oliver Stone on the title page. Dutton & Co., Inc, 1977.įirst edition of Hayes’ classic true story of survival and escape. Amy knows that she can't expect total goodness. It's that simple and because Amy is seven and because she says so, that is exactly what happens to Old Witch. If she does not mend her ways and follow the rules and stay on the glass hill then she will not be allowed to celebrate Halloween. If she can learn to be good she can come down from the hill of glass on Halloween night and behave like a proper Old Witch and do lots of delightfully wicked things. Of course she has her broom and pointy black hat and her black cat, Old Tom. At first Amy allows Old Witch nothing but the few things she can create by magic in such a barren and bleak place like a rickety old house with a front porch, a rocking chair and a few herbs for dinner. There's really no telling what evil thing she will do next so Amy banishes Old Witch to a remote and barren glass hill and forbids her to leave it. Old Witch eats rabbits whole and dances hurly-burlies and casts wicked abracadabras and reads from a thick old book filled with magical runes. They first hear of Old Witch, who is the head of all the witches in the world, in stories that Amy's mother loves to tell them. They love to draw and they spend a lot of their time making drawing after drawing of witches. Amy and Clarissa are two little girls who are best friends and they are fascinated with all things magical, especially witches. Enough is enough! Old Witch is banished or "banquished" as seven year old Amy pronounces it.

Margaret Stohl is a #1 New York Times bestselling & award-winning author of books, comics and videogames. One volume from the pile is Ben Macintyre’s 2014 A Spy Among Friends, recently adapted into a television miniseries with Guy Pearce as Philby, Damian Lewis as his longtime friend and colleague Nicholas Elliot, and Stephen Kunken as James Jesus Angleton, the CIA counterintelligence leader who ended his days as a stark-raving paranoid maniac, insisting that the United Nations building in New York was a secret citadel of Kremlin power. What is it about Harold “Kim” Philby and his comrades in the Cambridge Five, the cell of upper-collegiate Commies who infiltrated the British intelligence services from the interwar years until the mid-Sixties, that continues to enchant and fascinate so many on both sides of the Atlantic? Almost as soon as they had defected to Moscow, popular media began obsessing over their story, be it fictitiously (most notably John Le Carré’s classic George Smiley novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, a ripping good yarn no matter your politics) or otherwise (there is a small mountain of biographical and historical volumes that recount the story from almost every angle). Thanatos's siblings have kept him paralyzed with hellhound venom ever since, but the minute he's able to get free, he makes a beeline for Regan, kidnapping her with intentions of exacting vengeance. What he didn't know, though, is that Regan became pregnant and that he's about to become a father, not to mention it was all engineered by the Aegis who believe that the child is going to save humanity from the impending Apocalypse. But one ill-begotten night with Aegis Guardian Regan blew his theory out of the water. Thanatos, the Horseman of Death, endured thousands of years of celibacy, thinking that to lose his virginity would break his Seal and begin the catastrophic end of the world.
