Book Overview
This is a full-length study of the renowned French theatre director Ariane Mnouchkine, and her company, the Thtre du Soleil. Mnouchkine is recognized as one of the first women directors to achieve an international reputation and her productions, spanning from Shakespeare to contemporary drama, have been widely acclaimed as being in the forefront of twentieth-century theatre. Having worked with Mnouchkine's company in 1985, Adrian Kiernander was in a unique position to observe her directorial style and working methods. In this fascinating study, Kiernander analyses the elements which inform Mnouchkine's work as well as the input she has had on modern theatre. The book includes an interview with Mnouchkine, a chronology of her productions and theatre career, and is illustrated with photographs from productions.

Great story, would make a great movie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Urn Burial is one of the best YA fantasy/SF novels I have read in over eighteen years of library work. It deserves to be a movie. The main character, a teenage boy in the Scottish Highlands, is believable and engaging. A series of increasingly bizarre events, which unfold parallel to his harsh and gritty everyday life, will capture the reader's attention immediately and keep it throughout. Your hackles will rise when the monster passes by...
COOL!

Thoroughly Excellent, One Of The Best Books I've Ever Read

"Urn Burial" is the story of a young man and his interaction with forces beyond his control. Capturing the mood and feeling of Scotland, Westall tells how 'Ralph', the lead character, uncovers an alien coffin and goes on to detail the strange and intriuging set of events that unfold. It's all very believable. "Urn Burial" won the Carneigie award for teenage fiction and this book is certainly Westall at his best.
Review of "urn burial" by robert westall
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
"Urn Burial" is one of my very favorite books. I am definintly not a science fiction freak, but this one was really good. It is about a boy who discovers a cat-like being's body buried in a cairn with many mysterious objects, but gets more than he bargained for when an alien race, much resembling dogs, pays earth a visit hoping to find a the cat-thing after detecting the radition from an egg buried with the cat.
