Coop achieves a brilliant synergy between puppetry and
visual theatre. The show is inspired by an Hieronymus Bosch
triptych, Garden of Earthly Delights. And the apple does
not fall far from the tree.
Black Hole Theatre’s nutty take on biblical creationism is
suffused with comic grotesquery and a strange and striking
symbolism that I suspect would continue to pose mysteries after
several [...]

Fans of Joanna Trollope’s (of which there are many, quite
deservingly) will be pleased to know that her latest novel is more
of the same.
On the title alone, Friday Nights may conjure up images of
end-of-the-week recklessness and overindulgence but this is
Trollope’s cosy and familiar middle-class world and hence, things
are a bit more staid than expected. Here, Friday [...]

Writing in 1943, George Orwell summed up succinctly the
paradox of Rudyard Kipling: “During five literary generations every
enlightened person has despised him, and at the end of that time
nine-tenths of those enlightened persons are forgotten and Kipling
is in some sense still there . . . It is no use pretending that
Kipling’s view of life, as a [...]

People of The Book is a novel of
contrasting textures. It centres on a young Australian book
conservator, Hannah Heath, working in a Sarajevo library to study
and restore a recently recovered medieval manuscript.
The controlled climate of the library archive where Hannah works
on the exquisite illuminated Haggadah, the Jewish book used to tell
of the biblical Passover, is set [...]

Ali Campbell doesn’t always recognise Birmingham these days. The
singer for veteran British reggae outfit UB40 - at least until this
tour ends - was born and raised there and commutes to the central
English city twice a week for the band’s business. Yet urban
renewal has defeated him. His son owns an apartment in one of the
numerous new [...]

Microsoft Corp. announced the departure of several executives Thursday, among them a Silicon Valley veteran recruited to help fix its unprofitable Web business and one in charge of marketing Windows Vista, and the promotion of more than a dozen others across the company.
The changes come just two weeks after Microsoft offered to buy Web portal [...]

Coming on like a heavier, less polished version of fellow
Melbourne boys Kisschasy, the debut longplayer from four-piece
rockers the Getaway Plan will tick all the right boxes for their
burgeoning fan base.
It was recorded in the US (Florida) by a producer with a
reasonable pedigree (James Paul Wisner) and has obvious singles (
Streetlight and Shadows). Unlike several of [...]

On first listen, the fifth album from Washington band Dead
Meadow seems a bit of a fizzer. Rather than some blasting
charged-up psych rock, it opens with the laconic Ain’t Got
Nothin’ (to Go Wrong), with Jason Simon singing “silence is
golden”.
It takes a few listens to properly reveal itself. The rhythms
ebb and flow, Mellotrons drone and melodies weave [...]
