To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform

To celebrate the centenary of the first garden city at Letchworth, the Town and Country Planning Association has performed a service to planners everywhere by initiating the republication in facsimile form of the very scarce original first edition of To-Morrow. Accompanied by a running scholarly commentary on the text, and by a newly-written editorial introduction and postscript, jointly written by three leading commentators on Howard's life and work To-Morrow will immediately become a compulsory purchase for every serious student and practitioner of planning and for teachers and students of modern social, economic and political history.

Ebenezer Howard's To-Morrow is deservedly the most famous publication in the history of town planning. Originally published in 1898 and repeatedly thereafter, it sparked the garden city movement across the world, and fundamentally changed the terms of debate in urban planning. This new paperback facsimile of the original version of Howard's work includes a detailed commentary by three leading commentators and reproduces in full colour all the material subsequently left out and lost to posterity. This is an invaluable insight into the originality and breadth of Howard's vision, and demonstrates the full extent of his inspiration of future generations of town planners.

The best-selling guide to acting Shakespeare in a new smaller and lighter handbook size. Shakespeare tells the actor when to go fast and when to go slow; when to pause, when to come in on cue and when to accent a word. His text is full of such clues. He tells the actor when but never tells him why or how. That is up to the actor. Much like bringing a musical score to life, Peter Hall guides us to 'speak the speech'. An essential text for classical training at drama school and an invaluable reference book for actors and directors working on Shakespeare productions. Peter Hall makes watching or reading Shakespeare a richer experience, for audiences as well as actors.

Foreword by Dan Stevens 'A Masterchef's tips for cooking up a theatrical feast.'  Legendary director and founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company Peter Hall asserts that 'Shakespeare tells the actor when to go fast and when to go slow; when to pause, when to come in on cue and when to accent a word. His text is full of such clues.' In this book, Peter Hall works through speeches from Shakespeare's plays, revealing and elucidating these clues, providing the key to understanding and speaking the text.  'You can't improvise this shit!' Dustin Hoffman  An essential text for classical training at drama school, an invaluable reference book for actors and directors working on Shakespeare productions and a treasure trove for avid Shakespeare readers and theatregoers.  Bonus feature: Audio download of Peter Hall at work with Rebecca Hall and Dan Stevens  'Reading this book I am reminded not only of Shakespeare's genius but also of Peter's. He manages to convey, lucidly and helpfully how to speak the language that can seem so very daunting...It is a book that should be compulsory for every actor, experienced or inexperienced, professional or amateur, to own and use.' David Suchet CBE 'I find the most valuable ingredient is Peter's tone. Even though he is academic, instructive, exhaustively experienced...his observation of the texts and of his own experiences is fresh and immediate and always helpful. His guidance is born of a genuine passion and fascination with Shakespeare's words and the characters who speak them. Quite often, the points one absorbs as useful go beyond the world of Shakespeare too. He shares his tools with great generosity in this book, as he does in the rehearsal room. I will be forever indebted to him and the book will be forever by my side.' Janie Dee

Shakespeare's Advice to the Players

"  Acting students and young professionals will flock to learn from him - passionate, entertaining - Indisputably wise and true - Wonderfully illuminating' Telegraph  'As fascinating to readers as it is to actors' The Independent  'This is the most fabulously hybrid book  -  part actor's handbook, part memoir  -  what is most inspiring is Hall's conviction that form can be as exciting as feeling/ Acting in this way is more than  just listening to Shakespeare  -  it is responding to  Shakespeare's linear needs'  The Observer  Shakespeare tells the actor when to go fast and when to go slow; when to pause, when to come in on cue and when to accent a word. His text is full of such clues; he heard the lines as he wrote them. In this book, Sir Peter Hall explains this and to actors and readers alike. This best-selling guide to acting Shakespeare is now available in a new smaller and lighter handbook size. This new edition is an essential text for classical training at drama school and an invaluable reference book for actors and directors working on Shakespeare productions.  Shakespeare's Advice to the Players makes watching or reading Shakespeare a richer experience for us all. "
