David Pratt, Professor Emeritus aan de Queen's University, is een toegewijde geleerde met een passie voor talen en citaten. Hij heeft zorgvuldig een uitgebreide collectie inzichten van Nobelprijswinnaars samengesteld, ontleend aan hun omvangrijke werken. Zijn schrijven duikt in complexe historische gebeurtenissen en presenteert tijdlijnen van vastgestelde feiten die lezers aanmoedigen om officiële verslagen kritisch te onderzoeken en hun eigen conclusies te trekken. Pratt's aanpak benadrukt de kracht van gedetailleerd bewijs en nodigt lezers uit om zich diepgaand met het materiaal bezig te houden.
Set in a small New England town, the first play explores a poignant friendship between a boy and a lonely, ostracized woman in 1968, highlighting themes of kindness and unspoken connection. The sequel, November Door, revisits these characters in 1995, as the young man seeks forgiveness for a past betrayal. Both plays delve into the complexities of their relationship, revealing how they have navigated their scars and desires over the years. With simple staging and costumes, the works cater to different age groups, offering a bittersweet yet graceful narrative.
"Armed with stones, Kalashnikovs and the scarcely believable martyrdom of the suicide bomber, a generation of Palestinians has confronted one of the most lethal armies in the Middle East in a battle that has stunned and horrified the world. For almost two decades the intifada has been the byword for Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation. But, for all its familiar usage in the media, many people remain unclear as to what the intifada really is, or how it began. Just what fuels the anger? Who are the key players in this deadly clash and where, during these dangerous days in the Middle East, does the resistance go from here? Part reflection, part reportage, in The Long Day Of Rage foreign correspondent and film-maker David Pratt takes the reader on a journey across the frontlines of the Palestinian uprising." "From the War of the Stones in the 1980s, to the eruption of the al-Aqsa intifada in 2000, and the ultimate rise of Hamas, this is an eyewitness tour through the Islamic hotbeds, beleaguered refugee camps, and bomb-makers' dens of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Above all, it is a gripping and graphic account of a people's struggle to shake off oppression as viewed from the ground zero of besieged Ramallah and the ruins of a shell-shattered Jenin."--BOOK JACKET.
