The efforts of both the good stepdaughter and lazy daughter are appropriately rewarded by the cats they find underground.

The underground cats

Bennett, Susan

Macmillan

Bennett explores the relationship between theatre and museums, looking particularly at the collaborative processes that intertwine these two cultural practices. She argues that discourses of performance studies can open up new avenues of inquiry about the production and reception of the museum experience and its place in contemporary culture.

Focusing on the non-traditional theatres of the last 30 years, theatres which demand an active and creative role of their audiences, the text offers insights into spectatorship which also apply to audiences of traditional theatres who often contribute subtly to theatrical events. This is a study of the audience looking at both theories of audience reaction, and the kinds of spectators that different theatre practice attract and to some extent create. Bennett examines specific theatres - their advertising, architecture, staging - and analyzes the symbiotic relationship they have with their audiences. The author's focus on the sociology of performance challenges conventional ways of teaching drama which rely on dramatic texts.

She addresses these issues from both the viewpoints of literary theory and theatre studies, shifting Shakespeare out of straightforward performance studies in order to address questions about his plays and to consider them in the context of current theoretical debates on historiography, post-colonialism and canonicity.

Isabella Albrici's epiphany begins when her mobster husband, Domenic, frames Isabella and her best friend, Teresa Benedetti, for his diamond smuggling operation. Prime targets for the prison’s resident psychopath, Isabella and Teresa will be lucky to survive jail, even luckier to survive if they get out. Thanks to Domenic, ‘the family’ thinks Isabella is an FBI informant. The big house ain't no fun house, but for Isabella and Teresa, it’s the safest house there is, until the evidence keeping them there suddenly goes missing. For years, these mob wives have lived off the wages of sin, now the path to redemption is clear: they gotta whack their old men.
