The Importance of Being Earnest is one of Wilde's most famous plays. A farcical comedy set in Victorian London, rich in satire and witty dialogue, the play marked the climax of Wilde's career but also heralded his downfall. Wilde reveals the moral hypocrisy at the heart of the Victorian establishment through the literary techniques of dramatic irony parody and reversals.

Bébé Bulles aime les arcs-en-ciel. Elle en voit de partout. Et toi, est-ce que toi aussi tu les vois ? Il était une fois une petite fille prénommée Sue, qui aimait jouer avec les mots et raconter des histoires, et qui rêvait de devenir écrivain. Elle grandit et sa vie prit un tout autre chemin, mais elle continua à inventer des histoires pour ses enfants. L’une de ces histoires fut abandonnée dans un tiroir pendant 25 ans. Pendant ce temps, dans une autre partie du monde et plusieurs années plus tard, une autre petite fille du nom de Camille se passionna pour le matériel d’art et de papèterie, le dessin, et les travaux manuels. Quand cette petite fille devint adulte elle décida qu’elle voulait continuer à imaginer et créer, et faire sourire les gens ; elle devint donc illustratrice. Un jour, un peu par hasard les chemins de la conteuse d’histoires et de l’illustratrice se croisèrent, et Bébé Bulles vit le jour. Explorez son univers gai et coloré avec vos tout-petits, et aidez-les à apprendre les couleurs et à trouver des arcs-en-ciel dans toutes sortes de lieux inattendus.

Brilliant adaptation of Charles Dickens biting novel H ard Times . Dominated by Gradgrind and Bounderby, Coketown’s prosperity is built on the cotton mills where thousands of men and women slave away for long hours and little pay. Gradgrind’s obsession with material progress damages his children Louisa and Tom, leading to scandal and disaster. ‘Hard Times’ celebrates the importance of the human heart in an age obsessed with materialism. Circus, music, and dark comedy all go into the rich mix of this truly Dickensian theatrical tale. Charles Way has written over 50 plays, specializing in writing for children, young people and family audiences. His plays are performed worldwide. He has won several major awards - A Spell of Cold Weather won the Writers Guild best children's play award in 2001 and in 2004 his play Red Red Shoes won the English Arts Council best children's play award.

" A stellar adaptation by Charles Way, moving, thoughtful and wonderfully drawn’.??????????????????????? What’s on Stage ***** ‘Way gives real depth to characters, replaces Dickens’ sentimentality with warmth and his censoriousness with moral indignation’. ?????????????????????????? The Independent ***** ‘daringly restructures Dickens’ plot, yet sticks to the motto of his lisping ringmaster Mr Sleary: “People mutht be amuthed.”’ ????????????????????????????????????????????The Observer ?

Frederick Nieck's fantastic biography of the famous Polish composer Frederic Francois Chopin.

Danny Boyle is one of contemporary filmmaking's most exciting talents. Since the early 1990s he has steadily created a body of work that crosses genres and defies easy categorisation, from black humour (Shallow Grave), gritty realism (Trainspotting), screwball comedy (A Life Less Ordinary), cult adaptations (The Beach), and horror (28 Days Later), to science fiction (Sunshine), children's drama (Millions), love stories (Slumdog Millionaire) and tales of personal redemption (127 Hours). Unlike many of his peers, Boyle seems most comfortable when working with modest budgets, relying on acting ability rather than special effects, and surrounding himself with a trusted team of writers, cinematographers and production designers. His restless energy, vitality and drive find their expression in the celebratory tone of his films - their lust for life.In this book, Mark Browning provides a rigorous but highly accessible analysis of Boyle's work, discussing the processes by which he absorbs generic and literary influences, the way he gains powerful performances both from inexperienced casts and A-list stars, his portrayal of regional identity, his use of moral dilemmas as a narrative trigger, and the religious undercurrents that permeate his films.
