A Doll's Life

By: Larry Grossman,Betty Comden,Adolph Green

Set within the framing of a contemporary rehearsal of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, A Dol's Life imagines what happened after Nora slammed the door , leaving her husband Torvald. Borrowing train fare from a young violinist, Otto, she travels to Christiania, where she begins to work in a cafe. Soon she becomes involved not only with Otto, but Eric Didrickson, the wealthy owner of shipping lines and fish canneries, and Johan Blecker, a lawyer. Scenes of her new life mingle with flashbacks to her old.

Early Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney, Volume 4

The Streatham Years, Part II, 1780-1781

By: Frances Burney,Betty Rizzo

Volume IV of The Early Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney, covering the years 1780-1781, will be of particular interest to students of Burney as it marks the young author's introduction into the world following the astonishing success of her novel Evelina (1778) and includes her visits to Streatham and her encounters with Hester and Henry Thrale and Dr Johnson. It was an exciting period in her life, which she managed to enjoy despite struggling to repeat her first success while avoiding the often unwelcome attention it brought. But it was also a difficult period in her family life as she dealt with jealous interference by her stepmother, the courtship of her sister Susan by a man she considered untrustworthy, and the misbehaviour of her brothers. Burney's enthusiasm makes the most of her experiences and she describes characters and scenes with all the genius displayed in her novels. Her descriptions contain the four great attributes that distinguish her novels: brilliant handling of detail, total and full recall of conversations characteristic of the speaker, sensibility and empathy for others, and great relish for the ridiculous wherever it occurred.

On the Twentieth Century

By: Betty Comden,Adolph Green

Simplified Revised Version Musical comedy Book and Lyrics by Adolph Green and Betty Comden Music by Cy Coleman Based on a play by Ben Hecht and Charles McArthur and also a play by Bruce Milholland 17 Principal roles, plus chorus (doubling possible) Whether performed with elaborate scenery or on a simple scale, this brilliantly comic musical appeals to audiences everywhere. As in the classic original, the story concerns the efforts of a flamboyant theatrical impresario Oscar Jaffe to persuade glamorous film star (and former amour) Lily Garland to appear in his next production while outwitting rival producers, creditors and religious nut Letitcia Primrose. And all this before the 20th Century Ltd. reaches NYC "Spectacular, funny and elegant...civilized wit and wild humor."-The New York Times "A perfect musical...A gorgeous show "-New York Post "A rare delight: a musical that tells a story and does so with delicious wit. A hilarious American sequel to My Fair Lady."-Hartford Courant
