Book Description
Excerpt from Frightful Plays Several weeks ago an actor-manager requested me to try my hands at a play for the winter season. The offer was unexpected. "My dear sir," I said, "I am immensely flattered to ask, "What kind of play?" for fear the offer might be withdrawn. He replied with sureness and decision. "I want a play," he said, "with lots of pirates and - no poetry." He stressed this with emphatic gesture. "And at least one shooting," he added. It was a slim prescription. He left me to brood upon the matter. The proposal was too flattering to be rejected out of hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Excerpt from When the Devil Was Ill: A Play in Four Acts Rawlings. Be quiet, man. Take your notes down, quickly. [a moment'e pause. Rawlings i: then heard dictating] It was the last stroke that told. Reeling, the frightful monster swayed, drunk wise, beneath the blow. As for Enoch, he poised his lance yet again, biting a little at the red of his under lip. Geraldine, white as a sea-shell, and beat ing, as became her, at the breast, eyed him, not un hotly, and fingering her holy beads [he breaks of savagely] Can't you keep that light steady, man?

Book Description
In nineteenth-century Europe the ruling elites viewed the theater as a form of communication which had enormous importance. The theater provided the most significant form of mass entertainment and was the only arena aside from the church in which regular mass gatherings were possible. Therefore, drama censorship occupied a great deal of the ruling class's time and energy, with a particularly focus on proposed scripts that potentially threatened the existing political, legal, and social order. This volume provides the first comprehensive examination of nineteenth-century political theater censorship at a time, in the aftermath of the French Revolution, when the European population was becoming increasingly politically active.

Book Description
Excerpt from Second Best: A Delightful One-Act Play Scene: John Pritchard's den-a room that would be the bane of a tidy housewife. At the left is a large desk littered with papers in frightful confusion, with a telephone on one corner of it. Before the desk is a swivel chair. Book-cases stand on either side of French windows at the rear - the books in them being placed higgledy-piggledy, some lying across the others, and with gaps as if books had been taken out and not replaced. Two or three chairs, large and with much-worn leather seats, are arranged with no idea of an artistic setting, looking as if they had been pushed aside. As the curtain rises, a maid, with huge feather duster is just attempting to straighten the papers on the desk. John Pritchard enters from a door at the right.
