In this wide-ranging collection our authors look at every facet and detail of theatre life. From the worries and lives of the actors to what can happen when a theatre is the prime location on which the story depends, be it comedy, theft, the bizarre and even murder.

A beautiful young woman becomes intrigued with a charming, but severely shallow, young man at the theatre: Beauplaisir. Witnessing his treatment of some of the ladies there, she disguises herself as ‘Fantomina’, to determine whether his behaviour would change towards her. After a short fling, Beauplaisir tires of her and leaves, much to her outrage. Fantomina then takes on a series of alternative personas in a bid to re-capture his attention.

Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. In this volume we offer up a small selection of talents whose time has now come again.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. There are times when love is not a revelation and a calling from one soul to another but a carefully navigated path, or maybe a badly chosen path that decimates happiness. Which way will our literary leviathans take us? Inevitably it will be more than one.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love in its fiery form may last but a moment―or forever. The need and want are obvious to both. Its all-consuming, if feels like it will always endure and never end. But passion and desire can burn bright and then burn themselves out. Our very devoted authors have much to share.
